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)

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."

A well-done adaptation of the book, not too cloying or heavy-handed. Henry Gibson (Wilbur) was my favorite regular on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In in the Sixties; he is a credible singer.
