Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale is a 2006 (very low-budget) All-CGI Cartoon by Spark Plug Entertainment, better known as the creators of the infamous A Car's Life series. Ostensibly an ersatz of Charlotte's Web (as the DVD cover seemingly implies), the film's actual narrative is almost entirely different, save for the shared species and broad roles of its two main protagonists (a naïve young male pig and a maternal, advice-dispensing female spider). The story revolves around the misadventures of Walt, an impressionable and troublemaking piglet from a dynasty of prize boars who constantly tells lies (often in the form of rap numbers) to get himself out of trouble, much to his mother and his friend Tiffany the Spider's dismay. One day, a snake by the name of Noiman Ja Rahr comes to the barn, and takes Walt (accompanied by Tiffany, fellow spider Crystal and Gilbert, an ambiguously French wasp wishing to be a bee) to Viperwood, a.k.a Hollywood, claiming he has big plans for Walt. Following a tumultuous journey (in which the group is attacked by both an inexplicably animate and predatory TV and silverfish with missile-launching motorcycles), Walt, his inverterbrate acquaintances and Ja Rahr arrive in Viperwood. Walt subsequently undergoes a series of disastrous auditions (due to Ja Rahr fabricating his abilities in documentation), leading Ja Rahr to shift tactics and transport an unknowing Walt to the slaughterhouse with the intention of processing him into sausages. The plan backfires, when Tiffany, Crystal and Gilbert arrive, incapacitate Ja Rahr (via the latter's sting) and save Walt from the meat grinder.Yeah, It's one of those films. | |

Trailers Always Spoil: DO. THEY. EVER. The trailer for this movie spoils the entire movie! The only thing they don't spoil is whether Walt will die or not, but it's SO painfully obvious that you might as well not even watch the movie. | |

Only Sane Man: The spiders Tiffany and Crystal. They're the only ones in the beginning who catch on to Walt's obvious lies, and distrust Ja Rahr from the start and try to urge Walt to go home. There’s also Tiffany’s reaction to Walt claiming his homework ate the dog, with her thinking that story is too ridiculous to even comment on. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: Played straight and averted. The villains are snakes, but the movie also shows that most of the snakes in Viperwood are actually nice people. Moreover, Walt is helped out by two spiders and a wasp. | |

What the Hell Is That Accent? | |
| Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale / int_8829dfa0 | comment |
What the Hell Is That Accent?: Tiffany's accent is seemingly intended to be a kind of Yorkshire dialect (possibly similar to that from the Leeds area), but it comes out as something more Jamaican or Scottish, somewhere in between. Her friend Crystal likewise alternates between southeastern American dialects depending on the scene. Gilbert's accent similarly fluctuates between (incredibly broad) approximations of French and German between scenes, accidentally yielding a kind of composite somewhere between Inspector Closeau and Dexter vocally. | |

Spoken Word in Music: The entirety of Walt's "song", as he tries to explain how his mother's pie went missing. And then he comes up with another one to explain how the ghost broke the pot, and one for the homework eating the dog, and finally, one for his own barnyard rap, "Barnyard Roots". And ALL the "songs" have the same tune and rhythm. | |
