    An animated re-telling of E.B. White's heartwarming story about a little girl, a pig, and the spider that saves his life.

    Alexandra F. said:  If your first grader just read Charlotte's Web at school, they'll love seeing the story come to life in this classic animated feature that is sweetly true to the book. We watched it for family movie night at my first grader's request, and it was a fun trip down memory lane, as my husband and I both remember watching it when we were in elementary school. I was surprised by how sad my preschooler got when Wilbur first found out he was destined to be killed, so beware for sensitive younger kids who don't already know there will be a (mostly) happy ending!
