Charlotte's Review by Larry Kubort Every now and :hon it's good to escape horn the seriousness of the Sounders and the Godfathers, grab a liitlo kid by the hand and go to a movie-cartoon like Charlotte's Web. Based on E.B. White's childrens classic, Charlotte's Web is a tender tale of fiiendship, life and death. The flim delivers these adult themes to the youthful and not so-youthful audience in a discreet manner. The story is structured around a runt white pig named Wilbur, who is afraid of being raised for slaughter. Wilbur's best friend is Charlotte, a spider, who decides to save Wilbur from the chopping block. Charlotte accomplishes this by weaving into her web, phrases about Wilbur such a:.; "some pig," "terrific" and "radiant" until at last Wilbur is saved. In the end, Chat lotto Jk-s, leaving behind her egg s;rc, which Wilbur cares for until it hatches in the ,pnnq Daily Nebraskan staff applications Applications are being taken for students interested in working for the Daily N e b r a s k an 1 1 e x t fall.

Perhaps not so suprisingly, the adults in the audience enjoy escaping into the never-never land, populated by talking pigs, spiders, geese and sheep, almost more than the children. Debbie Reynolds handles the voice of Charlotte, with Henry Gibson as Wilbur. Delightful Paul Lynde speaks as Templeton the rat, whose favorite phrase in the cartoon is a snide "What's in it for me?" The animation is well handled and, although it may not be in Walt Disney style, it more than suffices. The marvelous thing about Charlotte's Web is it's ability to span the age differences of the audience. For the youth,, it's a joyful and educational tale about animals. For older children it's a chance to shed adult fears and inhibitions and return to an earlier life when things were simpler and easier. am ttf'UU irrmmrm TttniiTi (0!B3 nTi(77? liTTR OT.RTT1! ifn lisrs v3 fi Sill ?
