I watched the very cute movie “Charlotte’s Web” last night with the family. I was awed by the technical aspects of the film combining live animals, puppets (there’s probably a better term), and virtually generated animals.

In the times of this economic stress, I have to think they’re a little scared — family vacations are likely the first thing to get cut.
