Fern is one of only two living beings who sees that Wilbur is a special animal, while she raises him--the runt of the litter--into a terrific and radiant pig. As Wilbur moves into a new barn, he begins a second profound friendship with the most unlikely of creatures--a spider named Charlotte--and their bond inspires the animals around them to come together as a family. When the word gets out that Wilbur's days are numbered, it seems that only a miracle will save his life. A determined Charlotte--who sees miracles in the ordinary--spins words into her web in an effort to convince the farmer that Wilbur is "some pig" and worth saving.

| • Movie Trivia
|
• Most of the shooting was done in Victoria Australia. As it wasn't the correct season in Melbourne during the county fair scenes, the trees surrounding the location were spray painted with non-toxic orange and yellow paint to make it seem as though it was autumn. And, rather than have extras getting motion sickness on the rides, the art department sculpted bodies out of polystyrene and took casts of their own faces that were put onto the dummies. These dummies were painted and dressed up and strapped into rides; going round and around for about a week - and no motion sickness. Each of their faces (about 5 of them) were on all of the 60 or so dummies.
• Chloe Greenfield auditioned for the part of Fern.
• Danny Elfman dropped out of Spider-Man 3 (2007) to score this film.
• The Australian extras in the County Fair scene were told at one point to make some sounds for the microphones to pick up, to sound like real Fair-goers. After one take with their normal accents, they were reminded to be American. Most promptly started just repeating, "Oh My God" and some other modern-day Americanisms.
• There were 47 Wilburs on set because the piglets grew up so fast. Also, each one was taught only one "trick", like to stare up or to walk a certain distance.
• The spider introduces herself as "Charlotte A. Cavatica," which refers to the barn spider's scientific name, Araneus cavaticus. The old scientific name was singular - Aranea cavatica.
• Tim Burton turned down an opportunity to direct so he could direct Sweeney Todd (2007)
• The book that Fern was reading to the animals in the barn was "Make Way for Ducklings", by Robert McCloskey.
• The emblem on Fern's red jacket represents the Brownie Scouts. The emblem was a "brownie" (elf) in a trefoil. Brownies are the level of Scouts for girls in grades 1-3.
• For security reasons, early prints of the film were shipped under the title "Bacon".
• The names of the two crows, Elwyn and Brooks, is a reference to author E.B. White, whose full name was Elwyn Brooks White.
• According the the 2007 DVD Director's Commentary, Templeton's feasting at the fair sequence was expanded after a test audience missed the Sherman brothers song, "A Veritable Smorgasbord," they remembered from the 1973 Hanna-Barbera animated feature.

Charlotte A. Cavatica: Oh, Wilbur... don't you know what you've already done? You made me your friend and in doing so, you made a spider beautiful to everyone in that barn...
Wilbur: So you eat flies?
Charlotte A. Cavatica: No... no, no. I drink their blood.
Ike: [faints]
Charlotte A. Cavatica: [climbs down to Ike's face]
Ike: Please, don't hurt me.
Charlotte A. Cavatica: Well, since you said please. Hehe.
Charlotte A. Cavatica: Wilbur... we're born, we live, and when our time comes, we die. It's just a natural cycle of life.
Wilbur: No! Just climb down! I'll carry you the rest of the way! We'll go back to the barn and I'll take care of you!
Charlotte A. Cavatica: No, Wilbur... I don't even have the strength to climb down.
Charlotte A. Cavatica: No, my webs were no miracle, Wilbur. I was only describing what I saw. The miracle is you.
Charlotte A. Cavatica: Goodbye... my sweet, sweet Wilbur.
Wilbur: Goodbye, Charlotte. I love you.
Charlotte A. Cavatica: You're very kind.
Templeton: Don't go spreading it around.
Charlotte A. Cavatica: Templeton, haven't you ever heard that good things come to those who wait?
Templeton: No. Good things come to those who find it and shove it in their mouth!
