All versions.

  • Fridge Logic: People see a lot of positive things written about a pig in a spider web and are thus impressed with the pig. No one seems to care that there is a literate spider.
    • Mrs. Zuckerman points this out, stating that they don't have a remarkable pig, they have a remarkable spider. Mr. Zuckerman dismisses it. The unspoken conclusion is that God put the words in the web, not some ordinary gray spider.
  • Funny Moments: This moment is pretty memorable:

Charlotte: Does anybody know how to spell TERRIFIC? [to write on her web]
Gander: I think it's T double E double R double R double I double F double I double C C C C C.

Charlotte: What kind of acrobat do you think I am?

  • Magnum Opus: Charlotte's egg sac in-story, and arguably for E.B. White, the story itself.
  • Tear Jerker: Charlotte's death. Wilbur's reaction in the 1973 film sells it pretty well, too.

The 1973 film.

  • Awesome Music: Arguably the entire soundtrack, but especially "Mother Earth And Father Time." Its hope filled lyrics about enjoying our short time on Earth is really emotional.
  • Ear Worm: "Chin up, Chin up. Everybody loves a happy face!" From the 1973 animated film.
  • Moment of Awesome: The Barber Quartet singing to Wilbur. Never has a song to a pig been so damn awesome to This Troper.
  • Wangst: Even though he's faced with becoming a bacon side-dish, Wilbur still manages to be over-the-top.

Wilbur: I DON'T WANNA DIE! I DON'T WANNA DIE! I DON'T WANNA DIE!

The 2006 film.

  • Ugly Cute: Charlotte. Aside from having only two eyes and several "eyespots," she otherwise looks like a real spider. And yet, somehow, she comes off as beautiful.
