E.B. White's Charlotte's Web 2018

(March 1, 2018 – Los Angeles, CA) – Varèse Sarabande will release the first ever CD release of the beloved children’s classic CHARLOTTE’S WEB on March 2, 2018! The album features original songs and lyrics by the legendary duo of Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman aka The Sherman Brothers (MARY POPPINS, CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG), with performances by the film’s stars Debbie Reynolds, Agnes Moorhead, and Paul Lynde.

E.B. White’s beloved children’s tale, CHARLOTTE’S WEB, is brought to life in the 1973 classic animated film, which finds the young farm pig Wilbur (Henry Gibson) attempting to avoid a dire fate. Of all the barnyard creatures, Wilbur’s staunchest ally is Charlotte (Debbie Reynolds), a thoughtful spider who devises an intriguing plan to keep the gentle little swine out of the slaughterhouse. Although Charlotte’s efforts, which involve words written in her delicate web, seem far-fetched, they may just work.
