Critics Consensus

Kids will be entertained by the straightforward plot and cute animals, and adults will be charmed by how quiet and humble the production is, a fine translation of E.B. White's genteel prose.

If you can identify all the voices before the credits roll up, you are a better man than I.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

This film does what all children's films should do: not just offer lots of entertaining things to look at, but teach children how to look at the world with curiosity, attentiveness and joy.

The kind of warm and fuzzy, non-distracting family film that Hollywood hardly touches anymore.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

Behind The Lens

Despite a stellar cast, including the incomparable Dakota Fanning as Fern, director Gary Winick disappoints to the point of almost tarnishing the joy of childhood memories.

Charlotte's Web is absolutely one of the best films of the year.

Not quite as pungent and powerful as the animated 1972 Hannah Barbara version, which is considered a minor classic at this point...This version still holds up...It's good if not great ...This role reversal anthropomorphic Cinderella story; of a supernatural spider who sticks up for a helpless hog who's on the chopping block...Which is brilliantly both dark and shamelessly sentimental in spots...And both parts work well...Both this and the 72 version PAD the story unfortunately; this with unfortunate comic routines, and that with unfortunate music numbers...They would have been better off doing an hour long production and co-releasing it with a new version of Stuart Little or something...Still, there's still a solid story, solid acting, and it's solidly entertaining. No classic but it works.
