Okay, the scene above is from Family Guy, not from the current remake of Charlotte's Web that Brian (

Unlike most remakes, this one has a lot of charm. Dakota Fanning plays Fern, the girl who saves and befriends a small runt piglet she names Wilbur. Wilbur meets the barnyard animals in her uncle's barn, including a witty spider named Charlotte. The animals are voiced by the big names -- Julia Roberts as Charlotte, Reba McIntire as Betsy the cow, Oprah Winfrey as Gussy the Goose, etc. The guy who plays Uncle Zuckerman is a nice woofy bear of a guy :)
The movie is very sweet and entertaining. All of the kids in the theater seemed to be loving the film and being very well behaved. I really enjoyed the live action of the film, missing only the songs from the original cartoon version.
Did I enjoy the movie? Very much so!
Would I see it again? Oh yeah.
Buy the DVD? Maybe for the nephews.
