This animated musical, based on E.B. White's children's book classic, is about a courageous spider who helps save the life of an ill-fated pig. Wilbur is a young pig (voice of Henry Gibson) who's owned by New England farmer Homer Zuckerman (voice of Robert Holt). One day he is sold to a neighbor, where he meets a sheep who warns him that his fate lies in the confines of the slaughterhouse. Wilbur is terrified of this news until he meets Charlotte, a charming spider (voice of Debbie Reynolds), who is determined to save Wilbur from this dire destiny. By weaving words into her web, she convinces the farmer that Wilbur is some sort of prodigious animal too important to kill. The music for Charlotte's Web was written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, who wrote the scores for countless Disney movies, including Mary Poppins and The Jungle Book. ~ Don Kaye, All Movie Guide

The family classic Charlotte's Web comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. This film is available in a different version that contains a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio. That version is superior to this one. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
