From the first half of 2018's "Peppa Pig tattoos, applause to the public", to the popular "What is Peppa" at the end of the year, Peppa Pig has occupied the hot spot for the whole year and has become the year that does his part. Internet celebrity.

The Year of the Pig in 2019 is coming quietly, and the pig movie is of course a must-have for the New Year! But apart from the children's movie "Peppa Pig's New Year's Eve", what else can we watch?

Today, the movie shopkeeper Grace is here to recommend a warm, humorous and "all-aged" pig movie, "Charlotte's Web".

Adapted from "Favorite Children's Fiction"

Charlotte's Web is an American live-action/computer-animated comedy film released in 2006. It is based on E.B. White's children's novel of the same name. The original novel has been widely acclaimed since its release in 1952, and was subsequently translated into 23 languages, becoming a "children's literature classic" in the hearts of readers around the world. Not only was it ranked 170th in the 2003 BBC's "Big Read" UK's 200 "best-loved novels" survey, it was also listed by Publishers Weekly as the best-selling children's novel of all time Paperback (the best-selling children's paperback of all time).

What kind of story is it, and it has such great magic power?

In fact, moving stories are often simple and simple. It tells the story of the deep friendship between a pig named Wilbur and his spider friend Charlotte.

In an ordinary town, the piglet born in spring cannot escape the fate of becoming a delicacy on the plate, and there is almost no snow in winter, and the same is true for piglet Wilbur.

How can we not be slaughtered? Desperate, Wilbur asked for help from Charlotte, who had been neglected by other animals, and received a warm reply from the other side, that is, to become a famous pig!

So, while the other animals were sleeping, Charlotte danced around her web, weaving "Some Pig" (special pig), "Terrific" (terrific), "Radiant" (radiant) , "Humble" (Humble), so that people in the village thought it was Wilbur's magic.

Under their "tacit cooperation", Wilbur became a unique pig, witnessing the changes of spring and autumn, and the coming and going of winter and summer. Charlotte also came to the end of her life and had to say goodbye to his friend Wilbur forever.

Wonderful lighting and special effects make the film more three-dimensional to present this warm and humorous story, and the interpretation and dubbing of Dakota Fanning, Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey and others are even more brilliant for this film. few.

Children's paradise

Why are children attracted to this film? The answer is the word "happy".

Wilbur is a happy little pig.

Different from other animals' "abide by their duties":

The goose must sit on the egg to hatch her baby;

Cows must eat constantly to meet the energy requirements for milk production;

Sheep must keep their wool from getting wet;

Rats are immersed in the world of "grinding their teeth, watching for food, eating, and hiding"...

Wilbur, on the other hand, is like a naive child who prefers to live in the moment.

On rainy days, he would rush into the mud pit to play without thinking; on weekdays, he would "do nothing" to chat with other animals, expecting the little master to come and tell stories to him every day...

Playing and sharing are Wilbur's creeds, and isn't that what kids have in mind?

The fairy tale of the ordinary life of adults

Children will be amused by the humorous plot and cute animals, while adults are hard-pressed not to be captivated by the warmth and wit the film exudes.

We often feel that, like other animals on the farm, we carefully follow the rules and move closer to the "established goal", but instead we live in accordance with the rules, unhinged, and life is boring.

Without the step-by-step and intrigue in the adult world, Wilbur not only constructed a paradise of innocence for himself, but also infected the friends around him, making them more willing to discover and enjoy the fun in ordinary life.

He proved to us that even the humblest creatures have beauty and dignity; ordinary us can live our own uniqueness.

Sometimes, if the mind is simple, the world is difficult to be complicated.

As Charlotte said, "Maybe miracles are all around us, all around us every day, and we just don't know where to look."

Charlotte's Web quotes

  • [Templeton is being chased by two crows and finding shelter inside a tin can]

    Templeton: The rat... is not... uh, uh, enjoying this! All this for slop? The rat is desperate. The rat is trapped. The rat needs to stop calling himself "the rat".

  • Wilbur: [about Charlotte] She's dying! She can't go home with us. So I need you to help me take her egg sac with us.

    Templeton: Did you say "eggs"?

    Wilbur: It's an egg *sac*, and it's right up there, and it has her children in it. And I can't just leave it here. What if something happened to them? Now, I can't reach it, so I need you to get it for me. And I need you to do it *now*!

    Templeton: I don't think I like your tone.

    Wilbur: Can't you just once in your life think of someone other than yourself?

    Templeton: Once? Once?

    Wilbur: Come on.

    Templeton: No, *you* come on! Who got his hindquarters pecked to make you "radiant," huh? Templeton, that's who. And who interrupted the gorging of a lifetime so you could be "humble"? Why, I think it was... Templeton! Templeton, Templeton, Tem-ple-ton! And do I get thanked? No! Well, has it ever occurred to you that even a rat might like a little appreciation? A little, dare I say, *love*?

    Wilbur: Do it and you'll get dibs on my slop for the rest of my life.

    Templeton: Done.
