Synopsis
Charlotte's Web (1973) is an animated family film you can watch online on iFILM. Directors Iwao Takamoto and Charles Nichols adapted E. B. White's beloved children's novel — one of the best-selling American school books of the 20th century — with songs and voice work by Debbie Reynolds and Paul Lynde.
Wilbur is a runty pig saved from slaughter by a farmer's daughter named Fern. He ends up on another farm, where he soon learns his fate: the dinner table by winter. His unlikely saviour is Charlotte, a barn spider with a plan — she'll spin words into her web to convince the humans that Wilbur is worth keeping alive.
What makes this 1973 film linger is the restraint it shows at the end: it doesn't flinch from loss the way most children's animation does, which is exactly why generations have remembered it. Stream Charlotte's Web (1973) online on iFILM.
