Joy, Aranea and Nellie (Charlotte's Web 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure)

Joy, Aranea and Nellie are minor characters of Charlotte's Web (1973) and supporting characters of Charlotte's Web 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure.

They are Charlotte's very beautiful daughters. In Charlotte's Web and the sequel, they are now in the stages of adolescence. Nellie serves as the leader of the trio. Joy is the cynical, sarcastic member of the trio. Aranea is the kinder and gentler member of the trio and always gets upset because she cannot spin a proper web.

They are voiced by Anndi McAfee, Maria Bamford and Amanda Bynes.

Why They Suck Now

 * 1) Each of the three siblings have been given off-color hair.
 * 2) Nellie is a generic leader
 * 3) The song they sing about not giving up on creating a web like Charlotte did ("Charlotte's Kids") is horrible and poorly written, and it seems to come out of nowhere.
 * 4) They have been [flanderized], as Charlotte's Web 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure now uses them to talk down to kids and treat them like idiots so they can communicate. This is inexcusable, as the 1973 Charlotte's Web film managed to convey serious concepts that few children's movies at the time would dare to even touch (like Wilbur overcoming his fear of getting sluaghtered and Charlotte's 511 children leaving the farm). With Nellie, Joy and Aranea now being a generic, bland, uninteresting trio of spider girls and singing about giving up on creating a web like Charlotte did in the sequel, the movie believes that its target audience's minds are that of a goldfish.
 * 5) They treat their audience like Cera, Littlefoot, Ducky and Petrie from TLBT sequels do.
 * 6) Joy is quite cynical, as she acts like doesn't care about Arenea when she tries to spin her own web by saying "Are you nuts? You've never even caught a fly!"
 * 7) Aranea is a whiny, spoiled brat who gets upset over being unable to spin her own web.
 * 8) All three of them have no real personalities or character development.
 * 9) Their singing is bad.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Their voice acting is great, at least when they're not singing.
 * 2) Their designs are cute.
