Charlotte's Web (2006)

Synopsis: A girl witnesses her father about to kill a newborn pig and asks him not to do it; he gives it to her as a pet. After the pig has grown a little, it is sent to live in her uncle's barn. There he befriends several animals, in particular a good-hearted spider. Based on the novel by E.B. White (1st ed. 1952).

Appraisal: One day people will look back in time and realize all the dead-end roads with no aesthetical improvement that technology has made art take. I guess live-action animals with CGI-produced mouth-movement is one of them. That pretty much is the main problem with this film but to be thorough I would have to add that a somewhat excessive ponderousness bothered me.

Rating: 38
