Meet all the fascinating characters: Wilbur (Cate Costello, Geneva), an endearing piglet in grave danger of becoming bacon; Fern (Madi Connors, Geneva), a young girl who loves animals and wants to save him; Templeton (Lily Mehren, Geneva), the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; and Charlotte (Ally Hayden, Geneva), the wise and winsome spider who proves what true friendship is all about.
