    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According to William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Debbie Reynolds volunteered to perform the voice of Charlotte the spider for no salary, because of her love for the E.B. White book the movie is based on.
    • Goofs
      Charlotte's anatomy is incorrect; she has three body segments and antennae. Spiders only have two body segments and no antennae.
    • Quotes

      Charlotte: Trust me, Wilbur. People are very gullible. They'll believe anything they see in print.

    • Crazy credits
      The closing credits feature concept art sketches for the film, displayed against multi-colored backgrounds.
    • Alternate versions
      There are two German dubs of this film: one made for theatrical release and another made for the DVD release. In the older dub, all the songs are translated and re-performed by its respective actors. The new version re-dubs the dialogue but the songs are kept in English. The old dub can be found on the 1987 VHS.

    Animated Movie Magic For All Ages!
    When Farmer Zuckerman was going to "do away with" the runt of his pig's litter, his daughter tearfully convinces him to allow her the responsibility of raising "Wilbur". Wilbur turns into the barnyard joy, and eventually wins not only first prize at the fair, but because of the wisdom of the old spider, Charlotte, becomes a famed attraction.

    This classic children's story deals with the life cycle and explains, through the farm animals' eyes, that birth, life and eventual death are all natural, and nothing to fear. After a life of work, Charlotte dies, but all are reminded of her "magic" when her little baby spiders hatch and go on into the world to live their lives.

    Debbie Reynold lends her voice to Charlotte, and several beautiful songs envelop this delightful story. This one is right up there with animated Disney Classics, a film every child should enjoy, one of the very best in its class.
