I love this story. I have dreamy fond memories of our librarian reading it to us in third grade. This live action version with CGI animals just didn't measure up.
Dakota Fanning plays Fern the real live girl who saves Wilbur from the breakfast plate. Julia Roberts voices Charlotte with Steve Buscemi, as Templeton the rat, Oprah Winfrey as Gussy the Goose and John Cleese as a sheep.
You'd think with such an esteemed cast and wonderful story, it'd just work. Alas the jokes fall flat and the story looks like a cartoon. Might as well see the older cartoon.
Bandon, Dora and North Bend have copies of the DVD.
Download from Amazon (Kinda spendy for the DL seems like a better deal to buy it.)
