Brooks and Elwyn are the main antagonists of the Nickelodeon's 17th feature film Charlotte's Web, based on the combination of the 1952 children's novel and even the 1973 animated film of the same name by E. B. White. They are two greedy crows who steal food and antagonize animals, especially a rat named Templeton whom they are obsessed in killing just for fun.

Brooks was voiced by Thomas Haden Church (who also played Sandman in Spider-Man 3 and Spider-Man: No Way Home, Roach in Tales from the Crypt Presents Demon Knight, Tal Hajus in John Carter, Quillgin in Regular Show, Tazer in Aliens in the Attic, Killer Moth in Teen Titans, Lyle Van de Groot in the George of the Jungle duology, Agent Stone in Twisted Metal and Dwayne LaFontant in Over the Hedge) and Elwyn was voiced by André Benjamin.

Personalities[]

Brooks and Elwyn are two crows who participate in trying to steal food such as corn from a cornfield, but they never succeed due to a scarecrow guarding it. They also have a habit of bullying any small animal that comes across them such as Templeton. When they first meet Templeton, they resort to simple bullying, but when he outsmarts them, the two crows develop a powerful grudge against the rat. Elwyn shows himself to be the more patient and smarter as Brooks is slightly incompetent and impatient.

Appearances[]

Brooks and Elwyn are two large muscular black crows that look almost alike, with only a few subtle differences. Brooks is slightly larger than Elwyn with a thicker beak. Their appearance also bare a strong resemblance to that of ravens, despite being crows.

Biography[]

Brooks and Elwyn are first seen spying on a scarecrow in a cornfield. Brooks is frustrated since he and Elwyn have been waiting for a long time and is still determined to get some corn, but Elwyn tells him to be patient while they pointlessly wait for the scarecrow to move. Later, when the rotten goose egg breaks, the crows can sense it from a distance while they are overlooking the barn. Elwyn asks if Brooks passed wind, but when he replies that he didn't, the two mistakenly believe the stench is coming from the scarecrow, assuming that it was trying to repel the two birds from the cornfield.

Later, Brooks and Elwyn try to lunge at another scarecrow after mistaking it for the same one, only for it to scare them and send them flying away in fear. As they recover from that, they suddenly notice Templeton the rat (who is looking for a word for Wilbur) in a nearby junkyard. Deciding to have a little fun, the two crows then swoop down to attack Templeton. Luckily, he lured the two birds into a trap where Brooks and Elwyn crashed into some sand and pink paint. The two left and plotted revenge against the rat, mostly for escaping their clutches and humiliating them.

Later on, while Templeton was having a good time at the county fair, Brooks and Elwyn went to the fair, looking for all kinds of food to eat. When they eventually notice Templeton, they attempt to finish what they started by attacking the rat again, but he leaps into a scarecrow carnival game and tricks the two crows into getting trapped in a net, where they discover that the scarecrow is not a real person and furiously state that they could have been getting the corn the whole time. Brooks and Elwyn weren't seen again afterwards as they presumably never bothered Templeton anymore, though it is very likely that the two crows are very likely to be sent to a zoo after they were trapped at the county fair.

Trivia[]

  • Brooks and Elwyn are both named after what the author's initials stand for; E.B. stands for Elwyn Brooks.
  • Unlike most characters in Charlotte's Web, Brooks and Elwyn do not appear in both the original 1973 cartoon version and the original 1952 book.
