I didn't see a thread on this. I went to see it today and took my 8 year old niece. I'm a big fan of the book by E.B. White and this movie does it justice. I was scared because it's such a great book and Hollywood slaughtered White's other children's classic Stewart Little. Charlotte's Web is very true to the book; there are a few added scenes and a few changes in dialoge but it works pretty well- they managed to keep it down to only one gas passing joke. It's a sweet story and i think it shows kids what being a true friend is- you keep your promises and you put others before yourself. The kids in the movie are kids- they play outdoors, use their imaginations, and don't dress or act like little adults. Dakoda Fanning is perfect as Fern; she looks eeriley like the drawings in White's published work. Although it wasn't a big drama or oscar worthy material- I rather enjoyed it.
The last line of the film is the last line in the book which is the classic ending to a classic tale. "It's not often someone comes along who is both a good friend and a good writer- Charlotte was both."
