Finally, I had the chance to watch my type of movie for the Nth time. Right after working hours, my friends and I made our way to the movie house and watch:

This is a motion picture from the famous Childrens’s book (As Stuart Little) from the book Charlotte’s Web by E.B White. As quoted from reelviews.net, here’s how the movie goes:

On the night of his birth, runt of the litter Wilbur (voice of Dominic Scott Kay) is saved from the ax by Fern (Dakota Fanning), who promises to keep the newly born pig safe. When Wilbur becomes too large to keep as a pet, she sells him to her uncle, who owns a barn across the street. He’s close enough that she can visit him every day, but Fern isn’t aware that Wilbur’s ultimate destination is the smokehouse so he can be ready to be served for dinner on Christmas Day. In the barn, Wilbur becomes acquainted with the other residents: Templeton the rat (voice of Steve Buscemi), Samuel the sheep (voice of John Cleese), Ike the horse (Robert Redford), and Gussy and Golly the geese (voices of Oprah Winfrey and Cedric the Entertainer). While these animals are stand-offish, there is one creature in the barn who makes friends with the lonely pig: Charlotte the spider (voice of Julia Roberts). Her efforts in particular will be vital in keeping Wilbur alive long enough to see the winter snows. Her idea: convince the farmers that their new pig is too valuable to be used as pork.

You have to watch it for yourself and see how the characters were amazingly portrayed. I just love Julia Robert’s soft and soothing tone of voice.
