I love this film, short and simple. Of course, there were obvious flaws, most of them relating to variations away from the book. But, as I understand, most people who watched it only watched it because of the book, in which case it would be, for most, a disappointment. Not me. The animation needed a degree of work, but that is always the hardest part of one of these films. While I will be flamed for saying so, I think this was a well-done movie.
The story was the best part, but that came straight from the book, so nothing can really be said there. The voice-acting was well done. Most character's voices fit them extraordinarily well, particularly the characters of Serena and Boyd struck me as best-cast in the movie. Words and music (mostly the trumpet)were off with the mouthing at several parts, but it was nice to have some celebrity voices in there. Little Richard was interesting, but the music itself was well-done.
The movie was better than it's predecessors for certain (Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little) in the movie category, just as I always felt the novel surpassed them. Note that I don't generally watch movies like this, but it was magic for me. I hath spoken.
