There Must Be Something More

There Must Be Something More

"There Must Be Something More" is a song from "Charlotte's Web" the 1973 Hanna-Barbera animated musical. The film was released by Paramount Pictures. The song is written by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman.

Fern is learning about love from a little runt she saved from an "untimely death", when her father was about to "do away with it". Fern found it to be an injustice, and relates herself, saying to her father if she had been small, would he have killed her too? Her father gives in and lets her raise the pig she names Wilbur. Fern learns about Love and Life through Wilbur, and sings a song to tell Wilbur just how much she loves him... The song goes through the first two weeks of Wilbur's life with Fern

The song is sung by Fern to a baby Wilbur in a motherly way. The song is then reprised briefly by Wilbur when Fern gets a bit older begins to show an interest in young "Henry Fussy". Suddenly Wilbur is no longer as much of a priority in Fern's life. Charlotte explains to Wilbur that this is the nature of the world.
