  • Magnum Opus: Charlotte's egg sac in-story, and arguably for E.B. White, the story itself.
  • Protagonist Title Fallacy: The title spider is more the mentor to the actual protagonist, Wilbur.
  • Tear Jerker: Charlotte's death. Wilbur's reaction in the 1973 film sells it pretty well, too.

  • 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.
  • Wangst: Even though he's faced with becoming a bacon side-dish, Wilbur still manages to be over-the-top.

  • 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.
