Charlotte's Web, a children's book by E. B. White, was adapted into an animated musical film by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Sagittarius Productions in 1973. The song score is by the Sherman Brothers. The film, distributed to theatres by Paramount Pictures on March 1, 1973, is the first of only three Hanna-Barbera features not based upon one of their famous television cartoons—Heidi's Song (1982) and Once Upon a Forest (1992) being the other two—and was a moderate critical and commercial success.
Paramount released a direct-to-video sequel, Charlotte's Web 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure, in the US in 2003 (Universal released the film internationally). A live-action film version of E.B. White's original story was released in December 2006.
