Wilbur enlists the help of several barnyard animals to help him avoid death again and becomes quite a hit at the county fair because of the intricate webs spun by Charlotte the spider. Wilbur also helps the other animals.
The review of this Movie prepared by Kathryn N.




Hanna-Barbera, not an entertainment company known for subtlety, put together this passable 1973 dramatization of E.B. White's immortal classic about a pig named Wilbur who fears ending up on the dinner table at the end of the harvest season, and the sweet, intelligent spider named Charlotte who devises a plan to save him. The animation is simple, not at all high tech, and the original songs may not be to every grownup's taste, but this is a nice introduction to the story that should appeal to most little ones. Gibson voices Wilbur to innocent perfection, Reynolds was a solid choice for Charlotte, Moorehead makes a great goose, and Lynde steals the show as Templeton the "what's in it for me?" rat.
