This delightful adaptation follows Wilbur from his beginnings as a scrawny piglet who’s spared from becoming pork chops by a young girl named Fern. But as he grows and begins to cost his owners a fortune in feed, it will take help from all his new farmyard friends to save his life again, including the miraculous talents of a very special grey spider.

Through the endearing characters of Wilbur and Charlotte, this cherished story illustrates the enduring power of friendship and promises to capture the hearts of audiences again and again.
