What happens

Charlotte's Web is a 2006 American live-action animated fantasy comedy-drama film based on the 1952 novel by E. B. White. Directed by Gary Winick and written by Susannah Grant and Karey Kirkpatrick, it is the second film adaptation and remake of E. B. White's book since the 1973 animated feature film produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The film stars Dakota Fanning, Kevin Anderson, and Beau Bridges, and features the voices of Dominic Scott Kay, Julia Roberts, Steve Buscemi, John Cleese, Oprah Winfrey, Thomas Haden Church, André Benjamin, Cedric the Entertainer, Kathy Bates, Reba McEntire, Robert Redford, and Sam Shepard as the narrator. Danny Elfman composed the film's score. Produced by Walden Media, Jordan Kerner's The K Entertainment Company and Nickelodeon Movies, the film was released in Australia on December 7, 2006, and was released theatrically by Paramount Pictures on December 15, 2006, in the United States. It received generally positive reviews from critics and was a modest success at the box office, grossing $149 million against a budget of $85 million. A video game of the same name, which was derived from the movie, was released by Sega. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
