It won an Academy Award for Best Original Song . David and Bacharach also won Best Original Score . The song was recorded by B.J. Thomas in seven takes , after Bacharach expressed dissatisfaction with the first six . In the film version of the song , Thomas had been recovering from laryngitis , which made his voice sound hoarser than in the 7 - inch release . The film version featured a separate vaudeville - style instrumental break in double time while Paul Newman performed bicycle stunts . The single by B.J. Thomas reached number 1 on charts in the United States , Canada , Norway and reached number 38 in the UK Singles Chart . It topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in January 1970 and was also the first American number - one hit of the 1970s . The song also spent seven weeks atop the Billboard adult contemporary chart . Billboard ranked it as the No. 4 song of 1970 .

He chose instead to record the song `` Sunday Morning Coming Down '' , written by Kris Kristofferson . Bob Dylan is supposed to have been approached for the song , but he , too , reportedly declined . The trumpet solos in the song are performed by Chuck Findley . In 2004 , it finished at number 23 on AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema . In 2008 , the single was ranked 85th on Billboard 's Hot 100 All - Time Top Songs and placed 95th in the 55th Anniversary edition of the All - Time Hot 100 list in 2013 . Billboard Magazine also ranked the song 15th on its Top 50 Movie Songs of All Time list in 2014 . The song , initially when it came out , I believe it was October of 69 , the movie did n't come out until December , it did get some bad reviews . It was a very unique and different sounding song , Bacharach and David never had any qualms about trying to do anything different , or push the envelope so to speak . So nowadays , it sounds pretty tame , but back then , radio resisted it to some degree . But , when the movie came out it hit hugely and sold about 200,000 to 300,000 records a day ( and continued selling ) for about three years . -- B.J. Thomas , Interview , Pods o ' Pop ( August 22 , 2011 ) On December 3 , 2013 , the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences announced that the single would be inducted into the 2014 Grammy Hall Of Fame . `` Raindrops Keep Fallin ' on My Head '' was used in the film Spy Hard , which parodied the scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid . Police Constable Pan-Am sings the opening lines at the end of his appearance in Series 2 , Episode 4 of Monty Python 's Flying Circus . It is on the soundtracks to Forrest Gump and Spider - Man 2 , in the latter accentuating Peter Parker 's blissful mood after abandoning his Spider - Man identity and its responsibilities . It was used in the Kevin Smith film Clerks II . The first episode of the second season of the popular medical drama Grey 's Anatomy is named after the song . It is also used in The Simpsons , episode 16 of the fourth season , called `` Duffless '' , at the end of the episode , while credits are presented . It was also used in a season 1 episode of Arrested Development entitled `` Altar Egos '' . It was also used in the 2003 film The In - Laws starring Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks , which was a remake of the 1979 Peter Falk / Alan Arkin film .

Paul Mauriat recorded it with his Grand Orchestra it 1973 . It was the only known cover in the USSR . The Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers cover version is credited with adding greater nuance to the song , the Financial Times citing their recording as transforming the song from carefree optimism to `` an exhortation to keep going in the face of tragedy '' and noting that Bradfield 's voice `` added grit to the facile lyric '' . The group often spent their downtime on the tour bus watching the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid , and incorporated the song into live sets . After the disappearance of lyricist Richey Edwards , the band decided to continue rather than split up . Having booked studio time in France to record their fourth album , Everything Must Go , they were invited to record for the War Child album The Help Album . The project required all songs to be recorded in one day . While band biographer Simon Price has described the recording and release of the record as a `` coded message '' that the band still existed , Bradfield recalls the events differently : `` ... us putting it out was n't planned as us saying ' We 're OK , guys ! ' , but the deadline was the next day after we 'd arrived in this place , for some kind of new beginning . '' The band 's recorded version of the song contains the first recorded instance of drummer Sean Moore performing on trumpet , and also appears on their 2003 B - sides and rarities compilation album Lipstick Traces ( A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers ) . The Manics further reference the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with the B - side `` Sepia '' . The Barry Sisters covered the song in a Yiddish version ( `` Trop'ns Fin Regen Oif Mein Kop '' ) on their 1973 album Our Way . Lisa Miskovsky covered the song in the extended version of her self - titled ( 2004 ) album .

The secret society was formed to protect the rights of the colonists and to fight taxation by the British government . They played a major role in most colonies in battling the Stamp Act in 1765 . The group officially disbanded after the Stamp Act was repealed . However , the name was applied to other local separatist groups during the years preceding the American Revolution . In the popular imagination , the Sons of Liberty was a formal underground organization with recognized members and leaders . More likely , the name was an underground term for any men resisting new Crown taxes and laws . The well - known label allowed organizers to make or create anonymous summons to a Liberty Tree , `` Liberty Pole '' , or other public meeting - place . Furthermore , a unifying name helped to promote inter-Colonial efforts against Parliament and the Crown 's actions . Their motto became `` No taxation without representation .

The men also poured hot tea down Malcolm 's throat ; note the noose hanging on the Liberty Tree and the Stamp Act posted upside - down In 1765 , the British government needed money to afford the 10,000 officers and soldiers living in the colonies , and intended that the colonists living there should contribute . The British passed a series of taxes aimed at the colonists , and many of the colonists refused to pay certain taxes ; they argued that they should not be held accountable for taxes which were decided upon without any form of their consent through a representative . This became commonly known as `` No Taxation without Representation . '' Parliament insisted on its right to rule the colonies despite the fact that the colonists had no representative in Parliament . The most incendiary tax was the Stamp Act of 1765 , which caused a firestorm of opposition through legislative resolutions ( starting in the colony of Virginia ) , public demonstrations , threats , and occasional hurtful losses . The organization spread hour by hour , after independent starts in several different colonies . In August 1765 , the group was founded in Boston , Massachusetts . By November 6 , a committee was set up in New York to correspond with other colonies . In December , an alliance was formed between groups in New York and Connecticut . January bore witness to a correspondence link between Boston and New York City , and by March , Providence had initiated connections with New York , New Hampshire , and Newport , Rhode Island . March also marked the emergence of Sons of Liberty organizations in New Jersey , Maryland , and Virginia . In Boston , another example of violence could be found in their treatment of local stamp distributor Andrew Oliver . They burned his effigy in the streets . When he did not resign , they escalated to burning down his office building . Even after he resigned , they almost destroyed the whole house of his close associate Lieutenant Governor Thomas Hutchinson . It is believed that the Sons of Liberty did this to excite the lower classes and get them actively involved in rebelling against the authorities . Their actions made many of the stamp distributors resign in fear . Early in the American Revolution , the former Sons of Liberty generally joined more formal groups , such as the Committee of Safety . The Sons of Liberty popularized the use of tar and feathering to punish and humiliate offending government officials starting in 1767 . This method was also used against British Loyalists during the American Revolution . This punishment had long been used by sailors to punish their mates . New York ( edit ) In December 1773 , a new group calling itself the Sons of Liberty issued and distributed a declaration in New York City called the Association of the Sons of Liberty in New York , which formally stated that they were opposed to the Tea Act and that anyone who assisted in the execution of the act was `` an enemy to the liberties of America '' and that `` whoever shall transgress any of these resolutions , we will not deal with , or employ , or have any connection with him '' . After the end of the American Revolutionary War , Isaac Sears , Marinus Willet , and John Lamb in New York City revived the Sons of Liberty . In March 1784 , they rallied an enormous crowd that called for the expulsion of any remaining Loyalists from the state starting May 1 . The Sons of Liberty were able to gain enough seats in the New York assembly elections of December 1784 to have passed a set of punitive laws against Loyalists . In violation of the Treaty of Paris ( 1783 ) , they called for the confiscation of the property of Loyalists . Alexander Hamilton defended the Loyalists , citing the supremacy of the treaty . Flags ( edit ) In 1767 , the Sons of Liberty adopted a flag called the rebellious stripes flag with nine vertical stripes , four white and five red . A flag having 13 horizontal red and white stripes was used by Commodore Esek Hopkins ( Commander - in - Chief of the Continental Navy ) and by American merchant ships during the war . This flag was also associated with the Sons of Liberty . Red and white were common colors of the flags , although other color combinations were used , such as green and white or yellow and white . Notable Sons of Liberty ( edit ) Samuel Adams -- political writer , tax collector , cousin of John Adams , fire warden . Founded the Sons Of Liberty , Boston Joseph Allicocke -- One of the leaders of the Sons in New York , and possibly of African ancestry . Benedict Arnold -- businessman , later General in the Continental Army and then the British Army Timothy Bigelow -- blacksmith , Worcester John Brown -- business leader of Providence , Rhode Island John Crane -- carpenter , Colonel in command of the 3rd Continental Artillery Regiment , Braintree Benjamin Edes -- journalist / publisher Boston Gazette , Boston Christopher Gadsden -- merchant , Charleston , South Carolina John Hancock -- merchant , smuggler , fire warden , Boston Patrick Henry -- lawyer , Virginia John Lamb -- trader , New York City Alexander McDougall -- captain of privateers , New York City Hercules Mulligan -- tailor , spy under George Washington for the Continental Army , friend of Alexander Hamilton James Otis -- lawyer , Massachusetts Charles Willson Peale -- portrait painter and saddle maker , Annapolis , Maryland Paul Revere -- silversmith , fire warden , Boston Benjamin Rush -- physician , Philadelphia Isaac Sears -- captain of privateers , New York City Haym Salomon -- financial broker , New York and Philadelphia James Swan -- American patriot and financier , Boston Isaiah Thomas -- printer , Boston then Worcester , first to read Declaration of Independence in Massachusetts Charles Thomson -- tutor , secretary , Philadelphia Joseph Warren -- doctor , soldier , Boston Thomas Young -- doctor , Boston Marinus Willett -- cabinetmaker , soldier , New York Oliver Wolcott -- lawyer , Connecticut Later societies ( edit ) At various times , small secret organizations took the name `` sons of liberty '' . They generally left very few records . The name was also used during the American Civil War . By 1864 , the Copperhead group the Knights of the Golden Circle set up an offshoot called Order of the Sons of Liberty . They both came under federal prosecution in 1864 for treason , especially in Indiana . A radical wing of the Zionist movement launched a boycott in the U.S. against British films in 1948 , in response to British policies in Palestine . It called itself the `` Sons of Liberty . '' Modern references ( edit ) The patriotic spirit of the Sons of Liberty has been used by Walt Disney Pictures through their 1957 film adaptation of Esther Forbes ' novel Johnny Tremain . Within the movie , the Sons of Liberty sing a rousing song titled `` The Liberty Tree '' . This song raises the Liberty Tree to a national icon in a manner similar to the way in which George M. Cohan 's `` You 're a Grand Old Flag '' revitalized respect for the American flag in the early twentieth century . In the 1995 alternative history novel The Two Georges , the Sons of Liberty are depicted as a nativist terrorist organisation whose aim is to make the North American Union independent of the British Empire ; their attempts include the theft of the titular portrait for a fifty million pound ransom and two assassination attempts on King - Emperor Charles III . The flag used by the Sons of Liberty and the Independence Party alike is a variation of the North American Jack and Stripes with the Union Jack in the canton being replaced by a bald eagle . The Sons of Liberty are referred to in the 2001 video game Metal Gear Solid 2 : Sons of Liberty . It refers to them in the title , and a group within the game calls itself the Sons of Liberty and models itself after them . In 2015 , a three - part mini-series aired on the History Channel with the same name . The Sons of Liberty are referred to in the 2015 Broadway show Hamilton . In the song `` Yorktown ( The World Turned Upside Down ) , '' the character Hercules Mulligan sings , `` I am runnin ' with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin ' it . '' In an episode of the Claymation children 's TV show Gumby , entitled `` Son of Liberty '' ( first aired in 1966 ) , Gumby becomes a member of the Sons of Liberty .

Cowan Pat Foley Production company Hanna - Barbera Productions Sagittarius Productions Distributed by Paramount Pictures Release date February 22 , 1973 ( 1973 - 02 - 22 ) ( Premiere - New York City ) March 1 , 1973 ( 1973 - 03 - 01 ) ( United States ) Running time 94 minutes Country United States Language English Box office $2.4 million ( rentals ) Charlotte 's Web is a 1973 American animated musical drama film produced by Hanna - Barbera Productions and Sagittarius Productions and based upon the 1952 children 's book of the same name by E.B. White . The film , like the book , is about a pig named Wilbur who befriends an intelligent spider named Charlotte who saves him from being slaughtered . Released to theaters by Paramount Pictures , Charlotte 's Web features a song score of music and lyrics written by the Sherman Brothers , who had previously written music for family films like Mary Poppins ( 1964 ) , The Jungle Book ( 1967 ) , and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ( 1968 ) . It is the first of only three Hanna - Barbera features not to be based upon one of their famous television cartoons , Heidi 's Song ( 1982 ) and Once Upon a Forest ( 1993 ) being the other two . Charlotte 's Web was recorded in 1972 and released on February 22 , 1973 , to moderate critical and commercial success . The film has developed a devoted following over the following years due to television and VHS ; in 1994 it surprised the marketplace by becoming one of the best - selling titles of the year , 21 years after its first premiere . No other non-Disney musical animated film has enjoyed such a comeback in popularity , prompting a direct - to - video sequel , Charlotte 's Web 2 : Wilbur 's Great Adventure , which Paramount released in the US on March 18 , 2003 ( Universal released it internationally ) , followed by a live - action film version of the original story , which was released on December 15 , 2006 .

Deciding to let Fern deal with nurturing the piglet , John allows Fern to raise it as a pet . She nurtures it lovingly , naming it Wilbur . Six weeks later , Wilbur , due to being a spring pig , has matured , and John tells Fern that Wilbur has to be sold ( his siblings were already sold ) . Fern sadly says good - bye to Wilbur as he is sold down the street to her uncle , Homer Zuckerman . At Homer 's farm , a goose coaxes a sullen Wilbur to speak his first words . Although delighted at this new ability , Wilbur still yearns for companionship . He attempts to get the goose to play with him , but she declines on the condition that she has to hatch her eggs . Wilbur also tries asking a rat named Templeton to play with him , but Templeton 's only interests are spying , hiding , and eating . Wilbur then wants to play with a lamb , but the lamb 's father says sheep do not play with pigs because it is only a matter of time before they are slaughtered and turned into smoked bacon and ham . Horrified at this depressing discovery , Wilbur reduces himself to tears until a mysterious voice tells him to `` chin up '' , and wait until morning to reveal herself to him . The following morning , she reveals herself to be a spider named Charlotte A. Cavatica , living on a web on a corner of Homer 's barn overlooking Wilbur 's pig pen . She tells him that she will come up with a plan guaranteed to spare his life . Later , the goose 's goslings hatch . One of them , named Jeffrey , befriends Wilbur . Eventually , Charlotte reveals her plan to `` play a trick on Zuckerman '' , and consoles Wilbur to sleep . The next morning , Homer 's farmhand , Lurvy , sees the words , SOME PIG , spun within Charlotte 's web . The incident attracts publicity among Homer 's neighbors who deem the praise to be a miracle . The publicity eventually dies down , and Charlotte requests the barn animals to devise a new word to spin within her web . After several suggestions , the goose suggests the phrase , TERRIFIC ! TERRIFIC ! TERRIFIC ! , though Charlotte decides to shorten it to one TERRIFIC . The incident becomes another media sensation , though Homer still desires to slaughter Wilbur . For the next message , Charlotte then employs Templeton to pull a word from a magazine clipping at the dump for inspiration , in which he returns the word RADIANT ripped from a soap box to spin within her web . Following this , Homer decides to enter Wilbur in the county fair for the summer . Charlotte reluctantly decides to accompany him , though Templeton at first has no interest in doing so until the goose tells him about all the food there . After one night there , Charlotte sends Templeton to the trash pile on another errand to gather another word for her next message , in which he returns with the word , HUMBLE . The next morning , Wilbur awakens to find Charlotte has spun an egg sac containing her unborn offspring , and the following afternoon , the word , HUMBLE , is spun . However , Fern 's brother , Avery , discovers another pig named Uncle has won first place , though the county fair staff decides to hold a celebration in honor of Homer 's miraculous pig , and rewards him $ 25 and a gold medal . He then announces that he will allow Wilbur to `` live to a ripe old age '' . Exhausted from laying eggs and writing words , Charlotte tells Wilbur she will remain at the fair to die . Not willing to let her children be abandoned , Wilbur has Templeton retrieve her egg sac to take back to the farm , just before she dies . Once he returns to Homer 's farm , he guards the egg sac until the winter . The next spring , Charlotte 's 514 children are hatched , but leave the farm , causing Wilbur to become saddened to the point of wanting to run away . Just as he is about to do so , the ram points out that three of them did not fly away . Pleased at finding new friends , he names them Joy , Nellie , and Aranea , but as much as he loves them , they will never replace the memory of Charlotte . Voice cast Henry Gibson as Wilbur , a pig who was almost killed due to being a runt . Over time , however , he grows so much that one would never have known he was once a runt . When he learns of his fate of being slaughtered , Wilbur instantly breaks down into tears , until Charlotte tells him that she will do whatever it takes to save him . Wilbur is a friendly pig , but also prone to anxiety . Debbie Reynolds as Charlotte A. Cavatica , a spider who lives on a web in a corner of Homer 's barn above Wilbur 's pig pen . She is very loving and motherly , but sometimes grows frustrated at Wilbur 's anxiety issues . At the end of the film , she dies after laying 514 eggs , but three of them decide to stay with Wilbur . Paul Lynde as Templeton , a care - free , egotistical rat who lives at Homer 's farm . He helps Charlotte get new ideas for her webs on the condition that he is promised food . At the end of the film , as well as the sequel , he has four bratty children of his own : Henrietta , Lester , Ralphie , and Junior . Agnes Moorehead as the Goose , an unnamed goose who is the one that encourages Wilbur to speak for the first time . Her seven goslings later hatch , although there were actually eight eggs ( one was rotten ) . In the sequel , she was named Gwen . Don Messick as Jeffrey , a young , undersized gosling whom Wilbur befriends shortly after his birth . He initially lives , eats , and sleeps with Wilbur rather than his mother and siblings . At one point , Avery remarks that he sounds more like a pig than a gosling , which pleases Jeffrey . When Wilbur is loaded into a crate destined for the fair , Jeffrey casually walks in to join him , amusing the humans but they still remove and restrain him nevertheless . International VHS releases show a deleted scene in which Jeffrey is briefly seen riding with Avery in the back of the Arables ' truck , until it stops so Avery can put him down in the middle of the road . Distressed at being separated from Wilbur , Jeffrey tries to catch up with the truck to no avail , leaving him heartbroken . His mother gently directs him to the pond to join his siblings . Despite his previous insistence that they be friends forever , Jeffrey does not reunite with Wilbur when the latter returns from the fair nor does he appear in the rest of the film . Herb Vigran as Lurvy , Homer 's farmhand who is the first to notice the messages in Charlotte 's webs . Pamelyn Ferdin as Fern Arable , John 's daughter who convinces him to spare Wilbur 's life . Martha Scott as Mrs. Arable , Fern 's mother who first tells her of what was going to happen to Wilbur . Bob Holt as Homer Zuckerman , Mrs. Arable 's brother and Fern 's uncle . John Stephenson as John Arable , Fern 's father . He was about to `` do away '' with Wilbur until she intervened . Danny Bonaduce as Avery Arable , Fern 's older brother . William B. White as Henry Fussy , a boy of about Fern 's age , whom she soon starts spending time with while Wilbur is at the fair . Dave Madden as the Ram , one of the first animals Wilbur meets at Homer 's farm . He is the first to tell Wilbur that it is a pig 's fate to be slaughtered and turned into smoked bacon and ham .

Review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes reported that it has a 76 % approval rating based on 21 reviews , with an average score of 6.6 / 10 . Craig Butler of All - Movie Guide criticized the animation and the musical score , but called it a faithful adaptation , noting that `` no attempt has been made to soften the existential sadness at the story 's core '' . Dan Jardine criticized the songs and the `` Saturday morning cartoon quality '' of the animation , but also says that Hamner `` retains just enough of White 's elegant prose in the dialogue and narration to keep the film from being simply a painfully well - intended experiment . '' Christopher Null of Filmcritic.com stated that the animation is sometimes `` downright bad '' , but that White 's classic fable needs little to make it come to life . TV Guide reviewed the film with generally positive remarks , stating that `` The voices of Reynolds , Lynde , Gibson , and all the rest are perfectly cast , and the songs by the Sherman brothers are solid , although none of them became hits like those they wrote for such Disney movies as MARY POPPINS . '' When it was reissued on DVD it was awarded an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award . The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists : 2008 : AFI 's 10 Top 10 : Nominated Animation Film E.B. White 's reaction According to Gene Deitch , White wrote the following words in a 1977 letter , `` We have never ceased to regret that your version of ' Charlotte 's Web ' never got made . The Hanna - Barbera version has never pleased either of us ... a travesty ... '' White himself wrote of the film , `` The story is interrupted every few minutes so that somebody can sing a jolly song . I do n't care much for jolly songs . The Blue Hill Fair , which I tried to report faithfully in the book , has become a Disney World , with 76 trombones . But that 's what you get for getting embroiled in Hollywood . '' White had previously turned down Disney when they offered to make a film based on his book . According to the film 's writer , Earl Hamner Jr. , White -- who sometimes offered advice and suggestions to the filmmakers -- would have preferred the music of Mozart in the film , rather than the music of the Sherman Brothers .
