Synopsis

Animation. When Wilbur the lonely runt is horrified to learn all the farm pigs are killed, Charlotte, a practical-minded spider, befriends him and determines to save his life. She weaves the words 'Some Pig' into her web and consequently attracts enough publicity to save Wilbur. Charlotte dies but leaves behind 514 eggs. They hatch in spring and fly away, except three runts who stay with Wilbur.
