a unique and fascinating manuscript that provides a compelling glimpse of the genesis of winick's best known film. The meticulousness with which Winick approached this project is evident in the detailed camera instructions, scene descriptions, stage directions and character sketches, and includes dialogue samples and ongoing edits and observations. Winick's fondness for E.B. White's classic tale is evident in these careful and elaborate storyboards, and his simple character renderings add an undeniable and appropriate charm. The film was released in 2006 and proved to be a commercial and critical success. Dakota Fanning played the role of Fern Arable and the cast that Winick enlisted to provide the voice over work was a veritable who's-who of Hollywood A-List talent, including Julia Roberts, Kathy Bates, Robert Redford, and Oprah Winfrey.
