I loved John Cleese as the sheep. Steve Buscemi was perfect as Templeton. Thomas Haden Church is so funny.

He played his crow like Lowell Mather from "Wings". This guy can play the perfect moron. Dakota Fanning just gets better with each role.

She will be a hot property for some time to come. She may not ever achieve "Tom Cruise level" stardom, but she is extremely talented. I could not believe how many people cried. The cast really did a great job of making the audience CARE about the characters. Children and adults will enjoy this film. There is plenty of humor to offset the tragic elements of the story.

When Wilbur is in danger of being slaughtered by the farmer, Charlotte writes messages praising Wilbur such as "Some Pig" in her web in order to persuade the farmer to let him live. Written in White's dry, low-key manner, Charlotte's Web is considered a classic of children's literature, enjoyable to adults as well as children. The description of the experience of swinging on a rope swing at the farm is an often cited example of rhythm in writing, as the pace of the sentences reflects the motion of the swing. In , Publishers Weekly listed the book as the best-selling children's paperback of all time. Charlotte's Web was adapted into an animated feature by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Sagittarius Productions in A live-action film version of E.

Weaving 'Charlotte's Web'

From White's childhood in suburban New York and rural Maine, to his adult years as a New Yorker writer, Sims shows how White's experiences in nature shaped his classic novel. I'm Ira Flatow. Where is papa going with that axe? It is probably one of the most famous opening sentences in all of literature, and if you're between the ages of eight and 80, you probably recognize that line. It's the first line of "Charlotte's Web. Written by E. White, the book was published in the '50s, but it hasn't lost any of its appeal, and even now the story of Wilbur the pig, his impending murder and the spider who comes to his rescue, continues to be read by kids and adults all over the world. Talking animals and spelling spiders may not sound like the writings of a naturalist, but in his new book, my next guest argues that it was E. White's observation and appreciation of nature and its kinship with animals that makes "Charlotte's Web" so appealing.
