In this retelling of E.B. White's perennial best-selling novel, a young farm girl teams up with a spider named Charlotte to save a p ig named Wilbur from the butcher's block. E.B. White's classic tale gets a Babe-like makeover in Charlotte's Web, a delightful and well-made film that is sure to become a family classic. Directed by Gary Winick ( 13 Going on 30), the new version eschews the musical numbers of the 1973 cartoon and mixes CGI with live-action animals. Dakota Fanning brings the right amount of chutzpah to Fern, the young farm girl who rescues a runt, Wilbur, from death and visits him every day at her Uncle Homer's farm. But it's Wilbur's friendship with Charlotte the spider (voiced by Julia Roberts) that ultimately saves him from the "smoke house" (a kid-friendly alternative term to the slaughterhouse), for Charlotte's talent for weaving praiseworthy words about Wilbur into her web turns the Zuckerman farm into a tourist attraction. The more tragic elements of the book are handled sensitively by Winick, working from a script by Susannah Grant ( Erin Brockovich), and Roberts' soothing, maternal voice (who knew it would work so well?) makes it all go down easy. It turns out to be just one of many perfect celebrity voice-casting choices, for the farm animals, voiced by an all-star cast including Oprah Winfrey (the goose), Robert Redford (the horse), Steve Buscemi (Templeton the rat), and John Cleese (the sheep), lend plenty of sharp humour. But it's two corn-hungry crows, voiced by Thomas Haden Church ( Sideways) and OutKast's Andre "3000" Benjamin who steal the show. -- Ellen A. Kim

Great website – Item in Perfect Condition, Worth the Wait
I ordered a Funko Pop + Tee set from Yachew and had a great experience overall. The item arrived in perfect condition — clean packaging, no damage, and exactly as described. As a collector, I really appreciate when things are handled with care, and this definitely was.
Although the order arrived about a week later than expected, it wasn’t a big deal to me. What stood out most was Yachew’s quick and helpful communication. I had a couple of enquiries along the way, and they responded promptly and professionally, which gave me peace of mind while waiting.
All in all, I’m very happy with the purchase and the customer service. I’d definitely buy from Yachew again — highly recommended!
