I think he\'s allowed to be upset by that.


* {{Wangst}}: Even though he's about to become a bacon side-dish, Wilbur ''still'' manages to be over-the-top.

* VindicatedByHistory: Didn't do so well in the box office - however on VHS, it managed to become a bestseller. (One of the few non-Disney movies to do this.)

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Arguably the entire soundtrack, but especially "Mother Earth and Father Time." Its hope-filled lyrics about enjoying our short time on Earth is really emotional.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Instead of the cheery vocal songs of the 1973 film, it instead features an excellent instrumental score by Danny Elfman that is in many ways just as moving.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar / FridgeHorror: In the book, when Charlotte talks about her ancestors, she always talks about females and never about males. Well, this is likely because spider females of many species tend to eat the male right after mating.

Moved Fridge Logic to the Fridge tab.


* FridgeLogic: People see a lot of positive things written about a pig in a spider web and are thus impressed with the pig. No one seems to care that there is a literate spider.
** Mrs. Zuckerman points this out, stating that they don't have a remarkable pig, they have a remarkable ''spider''. Mr. Zuckerman dismisses it. The unspoken conclusion is that ''God'' put the words in the web, not some ordinary gray spider.
