CHARLOTTE'S WEB

“That humble radiant terrific book is now a humble radiant terrific movie.”

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.
