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

Don't change
your summer
plans
If you're qoing to spend a
lot of this coming summer
around the water sailing
and swimming you'll want
the protection of Tampax
tampons.
Girls have frequently
wondered about swimming
during those difficult days.
0!d -fashioned napkins
make swimming
impossible, but with
Tampax tampons the
message has always been:
"Go ahead and swim."
You're dependably
protected internally. And
you never have to
worry about anything
showing under
swimsuits because internal
pi election is invisible
prelection.
So don't change your
summer plans just
because your period might
interfere. Tampax tampons
let you sail, swim, water--.

any other day of the month.

The Hanna-Barbera production has added
several songs which heighten the youth appeal.
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.
