I have to say I was very, very skeptical about the film version of Charlotte’s Web. When I think about the magic of that book - or even that sheer expression of terror on Wilbur’s face in the illustrations when Charlotte is dying - it makes me well up, and I had my doubts about how much any film version could do it justice. But the reviews look good, and the preview does seem to show a film that hews to the spirit of E.B. White’s classic. Wilbur looks appropriately cute, Charlotte looks like a real spider (rather than some cartoony one), and I do like the use of some distinctive voices - Steve Buscemi, Andre Benjamin from Outkast, Reba McEntire. So… please let this be good please let this be good. Some pig, indeed.
Charlotte's Web - in anticipation
