Résumés(1)
Il était une fois un petit cochon, si frêle et si chétif, que son maître décida de lui asséner un grand coup de hache. Mais Fern, la fille du fermier, s'y opposa et prit le petit Wilbur sous sa protection. Les animaux de la basse-cour en furent bien étonnés, car le nouveau venu leur paraissait bien naïf, pour ne pas dire légèrement retardé. Seule l'araignée Charlotte s'en réjouit: artiste dans l'âme, elle avait deviné que Wilbur deviendrait son meilleur ami et surprendrait tout un chacun. Wilbur grandit en effet de jour en jour, remplissant toutes ses promesses... et s'exposant du même coup à se voir transformer en jambons, filets, côtelettes, saucisses et succulents pieds farcis ! L'heure du sacrifice suprême approchait, chacun tremblait à l'idée de perdre la tendre et rose créature. C'est alors que Charlotte trouva la parade en tissant la plus belle de ses toiles...

E. B. White’s fairy tale book is full of tender stories and friendships between animals and children. After all, it is much more pleasant to read about the bond between the pig and the spider or to listen to it in the audiobook version. The fact is that there are many more photogenic species of fauna for film.

It wasn’t that bad. If nothing else, at least Templeton the rat will deliver enough entertainment to make for the rest of the animal cast. The acting is average, even Dakota Fanning's role couldn't make me feel anything. Of course, that wasn't the point here at all, it's the animals in the first place, but unfortunately, apart from the lighter moments, there were also much weaker ones. I wouldn't even say that the movie is only for kids and totally inappropriate for adults, rather, it depends on the taste of each viewer and what they will make of a silly and simple script that is destined to have a happy and "instructive" ending. However, I have the impression that arachnophobes will not be very pleased.

There were times when Dakota Fanning was just a cute little girl who knew how to scream properly and look pretty. Then she started sucking necks, I mean, sucking on necks... No, I mean, she became a vampire. But that doesn't matter here anyway. "Charlotte's Web" is exactly the kind of story where her face fits. The film was based on the book of the same name, which was successful in America, but that doesn't excuse its naivety, which it tries to redeem with a bit of final sadness. The plot doesn't really differ from similar films that aim to impress and target a young audience. Half of the animated films are like that. Dakota knows how to play well with animals, the animals speak with the voices of well-known actors, and on top of that, there is this unbelievably cool pig that just has to win you over. The story was originally a novel, but it could just as well be a relatively short story. Same goes for the film. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/04/frost-vs-nixon-bos-vs-kung-fu-trocha.html
