    Babe wannabe

    Charlottes Web is a story of a pig named Wilbur. He was born as part of a litter of eleven and was ‘naturally selected’ when he was unable to find a spare teat, for early slaughter. The farmers daughter, Fern rescues the pig from certain death by ‘adopting’ him as a pet. She raises the pig until he is too big to fit in the house (I call that a fine feast, mmm…bacon!). Sorry.

    She takes Wilbur to live with her uncle, and it’s only then that Fern realizes that her pig will be slaughtered for Christmas dinner.

    The film is cleverly produced but it’s not like we haven’t seen it before. Remember Babe in ’95. The world was taken by storm by this courageous sheep chaser. During that time, the CGI was considered ground-breaking, thus Wilbur may not be as celebrated as Babe. Just don’t mention Pig In The City (Oh how the Americans ruin everything).

    That said the kids love it

The film's producer, Basil Iwanyk, says, "It will be set in the present day and feature Dorothy's granddaughter." The original film - based on L.
