Animated; Standard Screen; Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; English Subtitles; Director's Comments; Sensor Matic Gary Winick (THIRTEEN GOING ON 30) had a lot to live up to in remaking a beloved children's movie, itself based on the classic novel by E. B. White, but this 2006 live-action version more than fulfills its promise. With droll '50s-inspired art direction, low-key and earnest performances, and the cutest ensemble cast of farm animals since BABE, Winick maintains the deeply moral (though not moralistic) themes of the original novel and also injects some mild humor and scenes of peril and adventure.
Child actor Dakota Fanning gives an impressively mature performance as the loyal and spunky farm girl Fern who rescues the pig Wilbur--the runt of his litter--from her father's axe. But as Wilbur grows up and faces his likely fate of becoming Christmas dinner, another friend steps in to save the day--the spider Charlotte (voiced by Julia Roberts), who spins fancy, slogan-filled webs above Wilbur's pen to convince his guardians that he is indeed a special pig and worth saving. The resulting hubbub saves his hide and reveals the importance of friendship and loyalty. Additionally, in scene after poignant scene, Wilbur learns about the nature of miracles, the seasons of life and death, and the inherent worth of even the runtiest of us. Theatrical Release: December 15, 2006 Charlotte's Web Reviews: "[TB]he movie is a delight: never coarse, rarely preachy and less concerned with proving its own cleverness than with paying tribute to the wisdom of White's book."-- A. O. Scott, New York Times "What hooks you from the start is Dakota Fanning's unfussy passion as Fern..." -- Grade: A--- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly 3 stars out of 5 -- "[Fanning is] genuinely adorable without slipping into sickly-sweet territory....CHARLOTTE'S WEB remains surprisingly inviting."-- Emma Morgan, Total Film Charlotte's Web | List Price | $24.99 (You save $3.60) | | Studio | Paramount Home Entertainment | | Orig Year | 2006 | | All Time Sales Rank |  101249  | | CD Universe Part number | 7741284 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Nov 04, 2008 | | Rating | G (MPAA) | | Running Time | 96 Minutes | | Additional Info | Full Screen | | Movie Details | Color; Full Screen; Wilbur Plush Toy Included; Retail Exclusive |
Charlotte's Web Movie Review  Exactly like the book!
Exactly like the book!! I had to see it because I loved the book so much. It really brings the characters to life. Wilbur is so cute & Tempelton is exactly how I pictured him. Julia Roberts voice was so soothing, she made a perfect Charlotte! It was good to see Dakota Fanning in a different movie genre for once. Had laughs & would entertain anyone . I did tear up a bit at the end, until I realized I was crying over a spider!

Charlotte's Web DVD
$15.05
Seeking respite from his fate with Davy Jones, Jack enlists the aid of Tia Dalma (Naomie Harris), a practitioner of the supernatural, in an effort to locate the Dead Man's Chest that supposedly contains Jones's still-beating heart. Whoever possesses the heart controls Jones, and thereby controls the seas. And so the adventure continues as Jack, Will, and the Black Pearl crew track down the Flying Dutchman in search of redemption. This rollicking summer adventure, directed by Gore Verbinski (THE WEATHER MAN, THE RING), features multiple intersecting storylines, unique stunts, and a pithy script that lets each main character shine, while the costumes and makeup for Jones and his sea creature crew are nothing short of spectacular.
This film stars Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley. Extras include bloopers and writers' audio commentaries.

| | Sounder DVD (1972)
Charlotte's Web movie DVD
$9.75
An extremely powerful and uplifting story about a family of black sharecroppers, the Morgans, set in rural Louisiana during the early 1930s, Martin Ritt's SOUNDER is so simple and effective that it evokes an emotional response from viewers of all ages. Even so, SOUNDER is not a children's film by any means; it treats serious, adult issues, and features some of the most deeply felt performances and mature relationships ever captured on film. SOUNDER's title comes from the name of the Morgan family dog that young David Lee Morgan takes with him while hunting with his father, Nathan. Unfortunately, times are so hard for the Morgans that when Nathan tries to steal a ham for his family, he is caught and sent to a labor camp. David, now the man of the house, sets out on a journey to find the camp where his father was sent. On his way, he comes across an all-black school where he enrolls, learning empowering lessons about black achievement in America. Based on the Newberry Award winning novel by William H. Armstrong, SOUNDER not only improves on its source material, but it is also one ...
