Save your money for something good and enjoyable

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

An adaption of the book of the same title, this animation musical has a lot to recommend it... and a few things to detract from its enjoyment. The songs are varied and catchy, the animation is acceptable - not exactly what I'd call beautiful, but not clunky and cheap either. The characters are what make or break the story and while Wilber, our star pig, starts out as a bit whiny (not without due cause, however!), he grows up over the course of the movie. And growing up is probably the best way to describe the theme of this film. Several characters grow up in different ways, including minor/background characters. It is an excellent look at the passage of time and how it affects different creatures/people - hopefully for the better, but not always.There are several silly, humorous moments and overall the story is a romp, but the serious points can hit hard. In my personal opinion, it's a fun movie, but not 10 stars - there are definite points where it feels like a musical number is simply filler to make the movie longer and a few places that make me scratch my head at a plot point. But overall, a kid would probably love this and there's really not much objectionable about it.I'd rate this movie as acceptable for ages 6 and up, but there are a few scary themes - especially death - which may bring children to tears or prompt questions. The emotions in the end are probably bitter- sweet rather than purely upbeat, so I'd advice parental discretion.

This follows the book so well... my 8 year old is entranced at is as I type.I would like to say that the Parental guide on this is WAY over the top!!! Templeton 'is like he is drunk after the county fair' because he hiccups or burps... seriously... maybe this is because he stuffed his face and nothing to do with alcohol consumption!!! I read this book at the age of 8... and I was never scared!!The actors that have lent their voices to this are beyond reproach... and just their voices bring back memories of yesteryear.I would recommend this movie to anyone that has read the book or studying it at school!

When I was a kid, I remember watching this on video at my dad's old house. Then, a few years later, those days were long forgotten and for that, I've read the book it was based on and I think it's enchanting. Looking back at the movie, I think there are some problems it has, but despite that, I think this is a childhood favorite that holds up for me even as a young adult.The animation, while crude in some parts, is very lovely to look at. The music score is beautiful and the songs, aside from only two being out of place (not the best work the Sherman Brothers have made, but they're not the worst), are memorable and I would hum those tunes for over a decade. The story is timeless and is faithful to E.B. White's work; the characters are likable and the voice acting is top notch. Henry Gibson as Wilbur is endearing, Paul Lynde is very funny as Templeton, the scene-stealer of the movie and Debbie Reynolds is charming as Charlotte and her voice is beyond beautiful.Overall, Charlotte's Web isn't the best, but it's a memorable classic that has stayed with me since childhood. Recommended to others! :)

This was such a kindly done movie and I prefer these older movies for my children as the new ones dazzle, but lose the story all too often.It is charming, well written, well acted, etc... and worth renting and then buying to add to your home collection.This version may not have the bells and whistles someone with no attention span or imagination prefers, but it delivers this classical story beautifully and my youngest, 7, loves it too.I'd encourage everyone to look into the older versions so their kids learn to think and not believe that all things worth spending time on have to be all shiny and new.
