Charlotte's Web

The classic story of loyalty, trust, and sacrifice comes to life in this live-action adaptation. Fern is one of only two living beings who sees that Wilbur is a special animal as she raises him, the runt of the litter, into a terrific and radiant pig. As Wilbur moves into a new barn, he begins a second profound friendship with the most unlikely of creatures - a spider named Charlotte - and their bond inspires the animals around them to come together as a family. When the word gets out that Wilbur's days are numbered, it seems that only a miracle will save his life. A determined Charlotte - who sees miracles in the ordinary - spins words into her web in an effort to convince the farmer that Wilbur is "some pig" and worth saving.… (more)

Charlotte's Web (2006) by Oprah Winfrey

Wilbur the pig is scared of the end of the season, because he knows that come that time, he will end up on the dinner table. He hatches a plan with Charlotte, a spider that lives in his pen, to ensure that this will never happen.
Rated G, however mild violence; one comment "The ending will most likely upset any emotional people."

Pocahontas [motion picture] by Mike Gabriel

Like all Disney animation : well made, and all that.
However: Disneyfication of popular stories is one thing, but doing that to the lives of historical persons is pretty disgusting.

Ever After by Andy Tennant

The story of Cinderella, minus the fantastic elements.

1.5/4 (Meh).

I strongly dislike the Cinderella story to start with. Making it more realistic only emphasizes everything I dislike about it while removing any of the potential fun.
