History YMMV / CharlottesWeb

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Some reviewers have pointed out that the performances of the voice cast ([[TheOtherDarrin none of whom were present in the original film]]) aren't half-bad, and that they at least did an admirable job trying to breath life and energy into an otherwise pallid script.

* {{Wangst}}: Wilbur is over-the-top even when he has real reason to be upset. In the book it feels less melodramatic because he's clearly a young child in pig years, but with the grown man's voice of Henry Gibson his wailing and sobbing sounds a bit more ridiculous.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Templeton the rat.

* HilariousInHindsight: The video game tie-in for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance, UsefulNotes/NintendoDS, and UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows was published by Creator/{{Sega}}, best known for the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' games. Fourteen years later, not only would Paramount Pictures release [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 Sonic's first live-action movie]], but said movie would have Dr. Robotnik reference the ''Charlotte's Web'' book at one point.

** Wilbur doesn't have it any easier in this movie; it's shown that he's still somewhat grieving the loss of Charlotte, is teased by the other animals for his cowardly tendencies, and then endures his second heartache at the country fair when Cardigan is sold off to a neighboring farm.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Those with an affinity for fat/bloated cartoon animals typically know this movie solely for the scene where Templeton gorges himself on discarded fair food, then returns to the stall [[BalloonBelly visibly stuffed to the gills]].

* PopularWithFurries: As mentioned above, the movie is very popular among "fatfurs" (furries who love fat cartoon animals) for the scene of Templeton [[BalloonBelly getting fat off of fairground scraps]].

** Templeton stuffing himself with leftover food at the fair.

* CantUnhearIt: For those who grew up on the 1973 Hanna-Barbera adaptation, just try reading the novel without hearing the voices of Henry Gibson, Debbie Reynolds, and Paul Lynde as Wilbur, Charlotte, and Templeton.

** Wilbur doesn't have it any easier in this LighterAndSofter sequel; it's shown that he's still somewhat grieving the loss of Charlotte, is teased by the other animals for his cowardly tendencies, and then endures his second heartache at the country fair when Cardigan is sold off to a neighboring farm.

** Wilbur doesn't have it easier in this LighterAndSofter sequel either; it's shown that he's still somewhat grieving the loss of Charlotte, is teased by the other animals for his cowardly tendencies, and then endures his second heartache at the country fair when Cardigan is sold off to a neighboring farm.
