It still can make me cry.
Watched this movie again a couple of days ago on the satellite. I still cry when Charlotte dies.
This is the best work Hanna Barbera did.
I read Joseph Barbera's biography. E.B.White gave him a personally edited copy of Charlotte's Web to use as a guide for making the film. Mr Barbera said it was a prized posession of his, and that they did their best to include as much from the book as was possible.
I ran the 2006 version in a theatre. It's nothing compared to this film.
If you havent seen this since you were a kid, then, give it another chance. It's worth it, for sure.
FWIW: I didnt like this film in 1973, either. I was 17, and it bored me.
I watched it again in 1980, and loved it.
