Charlotte's Web is a video game of the 2006 film developed by Backbone Entertainment, Sega and Atomic Planet Entertainment and published by Sega and Blast! Entertainment Ltd.; the game was released in 2006 for Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and Microsoft Windows, and in Europe for PlayStation 2 in 2007.

The Windows version of the game is called Charlotte's Web: Wilbur and Friends, and features nine mini-games based around the characters from the film. It is a title designed for young children, ages 4–7.

The DS and GBA games, both titled Charlotte's Web, are action-platform titles. There are several mini-games in each; the DS version supports a 'Nintendogs' style pet simulator, which kicks in during every mid-level save point.

Both titles feature the voice of Dominic Scott Kay, the actor playing Wilbur in the motion picture.

Reception

The DS and Game Boy Advance versions received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[5][6]
