What is Charlotte's Web About?
This movie tells the story of a special friendship. It's about a piglet named Wilbur and a spider named Charlotte.
Wilbur's New Home
The story begins with a young girl named Fern Arable. She has a pet piglet named Wilbur. Fern loves Wilbur very much. But as Wilbur grows, Fern's family must move him. He goes to the Zuckerman farm. This is a big change for Wilbur. He soon learns that he might be made into food. This makes him very scared and sad.
Charlotte's Clever Plan
Luckily, Wilbur finds a friend in the barn. Her name is Charlotte A. Cavatica. She is a spider who lives in the space above Wilbur's pen. Charlotte becomes Wilbur's friend. She decides to help him. She wants to stop him from becoming food.
Charlotte comes up with a very clever plan. She uses her amazing web-spinning skills. With the help of other barn animals, she starts to write words in her web. These words describe Wilbur as a special pig. For example, she spells out "Some Pig." The animals, including a funny rat named Templeton, help Charlotte. They convince the Zuckerman family that Wilbur is truly unique. This makes Wilbur famous and saves his life!
