It's even sadder watching Charlotte die ever since her voice actress Debbie Reynolds passed away. Plus there's irony: Charlotte died knowing her children would be born safely while Debbie died from the shock of finding out her daughter had just died herself.

@@gugurupurasudaikirai7620 I heard it was a broken heart. Wouldn’t surprise me. One of a parent’s greatest fears is outliving their own children.

This movie is significant to me. I grew up without much education, no father figure or any real prospects (coupled with a physical handicap). Still, I did my best, taking whatever opportunity came along to better my situation. Even so, I could never fully support myself---I've been borderline homeless twice in my life. To cut to the chase, I had befriended an elderly couple who allowed me to do work for them in exchange for some pocket money. The husband was the one I did the most for (the wife somewhat counted me as a pest, but tolerated me). After several years, the husband died. The wife kept me around. After we'd gotten to know one another, we became very close (for perspective, she bought me a house just so I'd be closer to her and provided me with a trust fund to ensure I'd keep it). She saved my life, having no real reason to do so---she was a doctor and her husband had been a priest; I was nothing. So, in the context of this movie, I was Wilber---I did nothing to be deserving of anyone's time/assistance that I didn't earn through work. The wife, for me, was Charlotte---she saved me out of the goodness of her heart/a desire to do something she considered worthwhile with what was rest of her life. :3

We read this book when I was in second grade and then we got to choose which of the two films we'd watch. I chose this one and the other kids complained at first because it's the old one, but then they ended up loving it. When the part came on where Fern sings to Wilbur, everyone turned around and looked at me because the only reason they even knew it was because I would sing it all the time on the playground.

I still wonder why Charlotte didn't just write, "Do not kill this pig!"

Prolly the same reason Mufasa's ghost didn't straight up say "Scar killed me!" - it would be too easy a resolution.

True, how well the performance was of Charlotte in this movie might be why many consider it a beloved classic. As for the sequel I hear you're doing next, best of luck. I somewhat remember the sequel from back when I was a little girl, and even then, mostly remember that I didn't care much for it.

Definitely one of the best stories of all time. I love this story adapted into this film. The themes about life this story provides are life changing, and positively influential.

Charlotte might as well have been a poet, the way she talked.

This movie holds a special place in my heart. Sure, it's not "radiant" or "terrific", as you pointed out, but its humbleness adds to the charm. I grew up with this movie, and it's one my mom and I both adore. As a person who is deathly afraid of spiders, I'm so happy that there's a spider character out there that I actually love. Charlotte is lovely, and Debbie Reynolds' performance was just perfect. Her death makes me choke up or cry every time. I can't say the same about the live action Charlotte, though. She's terrifying. 8C I personally don't feel like the songs were trying to be like Disney, but I agree that some of them weren't necessary. I will say that the songs are very catchy, and none of them are particularly bad. I also tend to forget that this is a Hanna Barbara movie. It really does stand out on its own compared to the other movies/shows the company has done. I'm glad you gave this movie some attention. I've also seen the sequel, and somehow I don't think you'll have as many positive things to say about that movie as you had with this one.

It should be noted it is a second adaptation of the same book. The exact events of the story are closer than the previous movie and it isn't a musical. Much like *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* is not a remake of Willy Wonka, but a more faithful translation of Roald Dahl's story.

Ah good old Charlotte’s Web. I remember it as if it were only yesterday.

13:29 Funny enough, this is the only song that came directly from the book, just with some minor alterations. Kinda like "There's no earthly way of knowing" from WWATCF or all Oompa Loompa songs from CATCF

one of the best casting decisions for an animated film was the decision to cast Paul Lynde as Templeton. Perfection.

I realized while rewatching clips that you sympathize with Fern as a child but as an adult you realize the harsh reality of farm life.

I love this movie, haven't watched the original until in 2020 I watched it. It was a very good and sad movie and the ppl who were making it were serious about the story, then the sequel came out, I never watched it, and I'm glad I didn't. But even as my year younger self I understood the dark stuff in movies unlike most kids. The songs are good, the story is good, the ending made me shed a tear, the art was outstanding, and most importantly the movie is one of the best animated movies from the 70s that I've ever seen. Charlotte was a good character, the rat was neutral, (pretty much kinda mean but ok) and all the other animals are just there for fun. I read the book in 4th grade and as a young boy I watched the live action movie, having known that the person who voiced Charlotte passed, I was sad cuz this was just a great movie. Let's just forget the 2nd movie even exists and enjoy this movie and the book

Did you know the voice of Fern is also is also an animal activist

0:33 Not gonna lie, Wilbur's face here is so blursed - it reminds me of that Mickey Mouse costume with the closed mouth that I said "looked like he crapped his pants and realised he left the _Barney_ DVD in the living room".

Would be cool to see you review the 2006 live action one.

Avery was voiced by a young Danny Antonucci. Yeah.
