Thursday, June 28, 2007 - Charlotte's Web-The Movie

Consolidated Theaters  is offering an eight-week movie program for kids. Tickets are free in some locations and $1 in others.  My two kids and I were able to see Charlotte’s Web for $1.  We really enjoyed the film.  While we have all read the classic by E.B. White, and had seen the animated version many times, this rendition was wonderfully done.  For those that have not seen this movie starring Dakota Fanning, with the voices of Julia Roberts, Steve Buscemi, John Cleese, and Oprah Winfrey, it is a real treat and worth a look-see.  Not only does it keep very close to the book, but we also found the cinematography to be outstanding.  As I was watching the movie, I was taken back to my own childhood days growing up in New England.  The images and scenery were beautifully shot and the time setting seemed so real.  The way they brought the animals to ‘life’ was mesmerizing and very believable.  As we watched, we were drawn right into the story.  Even though we knew about Charlotte’s demise, we were so taken by the story that we were moved to tears. If you haven’t had a chance to see this movie, we highly recommend it.
