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.
