Based on the beloved children's novel by E.B. White, a young girl named Fern rescues a runty piglet, raises it as her own and names him Wilbur. However, after Wilbur grows into a pig, she is compelled to sell him to her Uncle Homer Zuckerman down the street. At Zuckerman's barn, Wilbur meets a host of animals and later learns from them that come winter, he will be slaughtered for food. Fearing for his life, Charlotte, a gentle and wise spider whom befriended the lonely Wilbur, vows to save his life. —Oliver Chu

Trivia
There were 47 Wilburs on set because the piglets grew up so fast. Also, each one was taught only one "trick", like to stare up or to walk a certain distance.

Goofs
Wilbur, a boar (male pig) is played by sows (female pigs). This is blatantly obvious in some scenes.

Quotes
[last lines]
Narrator: It is not often that someone comes along who's a true friend *and* a good writer. Charlotte was both.

Crazy credits
The Nickelodeon logo segues into an animated series of farmyard illustrations. More illustrations of the storyline appear over the end credits.

Connections
Featured in At the Movies: Dreamgirls/Charlotte's Web/The Holiday/Apocalypto/Unaccompanied Minors (2006)

Wilbur's Lullaby

7/10

More for kids, movie.

I saw the film because it was based on a classic tale...and I know Oprah was going to be the female goose. The pig, rat and spider are cute - in an animal-sort-of-way. The cows were hard to hear. So I tried to listen for when they were talking. Maybe there was other noise then or they spoke under their breath. But I got a kick out of the crows.

I Barnyard the Cows all had udders. The male and female cows alike. At least this one is more authentic - true to the species. The close-up of the spider and web is extremely well done... and all the oral animation matches the mouth movements.

Oh yeah, and i learned some BIG words, too. Like: languishing. More-for-kids movie.
