In the animated version, some things implicitly expressed in the original work are expressed more clearly. For example, in the original work, when dealing with the feelings between Weber and Charlotte, that is, the main body of the story, it is from Weber’s perspective. In terms of emotions, Webber is full of dependence on Charlotte, and Charlotte is like a mother, constantly telling him what to do, working hard day and night to find ways to save Weber. In the end, even Webber is Don't understand, he asked Charlotte why he deserves to be treated like this to him, he has never done anything for her. But Charlotte’s answer was that they were friends, and they said something profound and instructive-one must do something in one's life to make sense. However, is the reason why Charlotte is willing to give is really just this great and educational reason for the outlook on life? The animation gives a clear answer: Charlotte is to Webber, just as Weber is to Charlotte, because Weber regards Charlotte as a friend from his heart and does not dislike her, so she has the opportunity to do these things, so that she can get in the barn. Respect for other animals, this is what Weber did to Charlotte. This is not revealed in the original work, but you can still appreciate the many details carefully. Before Weber and Charlotte became friends, all the animals in the barn had a word for you, but Charlotte had never been there. It can be seen that although she has always lived there, she seems to have never existed. Therefore, when Webber couldn't find friends because of loneliness, and was even ridiculed, Charlotte saw exactly what she felt, so she appeared, willing to be her friend from the heart. Taking this step is actually difficult for Charlotte, but it is so precious to Weber. It is impossible for Charlotte to see Webber's excitement without being moved, and the experience caused him to show his feelings badly. It's just the personality traits of doing things silently that also made Charlotte never open his mouth to express this feeling. From this point of view, the processing of the original work is actually more in line with Charlotte’s characteristics, but the processing of the animation is easier for children to capture at once, because the true theme of the book is love. Love fills life with more meaning, and It's not just Charlotte's knowledge of that period of life.
The most satisfying thing in the animation is the scene when Templeton grabs the egg. Templeton drags his fat body to climb up and bites the spider silk to grab the egg, and walks back as soon as possible. Charlotte's eyes are full of affection and weakness. Thank you: Thank you, Templeton, thank you for everything you have done for me. Templeton turned his head, his eyes seemed to be full of tears, he looked at Charlotte and nodded gently. At that moment, the emotions conveyed in their eyes were extremely moving, all the past was annihilated in an instant, and a thorough understanding was reached. I think this is the most touching part of the film. Templeton was also a member of the barn who was unpopular and had no friends, but under the same circumstances, the introverted Charlotte chose silence, the simple Webber chose to seek, and Templeton chose another way. To get your own sense of existence-acrid, indifferent, and disgust others with a more disgusting attitude towards him than others. If Charlotte's silence was like waiting, Templeton had closed his heart. However, he is not really as selfish as the animals say and only cares about himself. Although the plot and handling of how the animation and the original work play an important role in Templeton are not the same, one thing is the same, that is, every time he He did his best to do what he could, regardless of whether he was careful or not, what he got was everyone's cold talk. However, in the animation, he finally got a heartfelt gratitude, and his heart must be very warm.
So I think that another performance of animation actually enriches the story of "Charlotte's Web". I don’t want to blindly say how perfect the original is and how the animation is lacking, even though some of the animations are not handled by me. I appreciate it, but some of its other treatments do show the screenwriter/director's understanding of the original work. I don't intend to ask for full blame. For me, I am satisfied with seeing the "two" "Charlotte's Nets".
