Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

This is a great movie and I am glad I own it on dvd now.

Sweet story. Book was way better though

I rented this movie I never bought it but okay I’ll review it I guess ?? A great movie, different than I remember from when I watched it when it first came out.. sad ofc and imaginative. Will watch again when in need of a good cry jk lmaoo

I have seen this movie several times, and I still cant get through it without crying. Im not an overly emotional kind of person, but this one hits right in the feels. Its a great movie though. Excellent actors, phenomenal storyline and visuals, wonderfully directed. My kids have requested it several times. Its a bit heavy for small children (mine are 3 and 4), but they love how the kids use their imagination to create a world full of magic and adventure. Its the kind of movie that sticks with you and its one of my favorites.

I hope my grandchildren will like this as much as my own children did when the movie came out

The trailer did not do this movie justice. It didnt show what the movie is really about which is friendship. Its an amazing adventure about the power of imagination. Not nearly as otherworldly, but more grounded which actually makes it better that what youre expecting. There are not enough words to say how awesome I thought this movie was.

Disney brough out the film version of a book called Bridge to Terabithia, which whether or not you are famliar with the book, you should have either a fun or a not so fun watching this movie. But like anybody looking to see this movie, you should be warned before watching that there is a death that happens in the movie, and I perfer not to spoil it for you, of who dies in this movie, but thankfully the death occurs off the screen. The book was written by Katherine Paterson, and now they have the film version. Jesse Aarons (Josh Hutcherson) is beginning a new schol year, and spents part of the first morning running around his familys farm. His father Jack Aarons (Robert Patrick) works at a hardware store, and also runs the farm, and is also strict as stern. Jesse has 4 sisters, and he is the only boy out of the family. The new school year brings Jesse 2 teachers, if he has more, the others are off the screen, they are Mrs. Myers (Jen Wolfe) and music teacher Ms. Edmonds (Zooey Deschanel). The first day also brings a new classmate, a girl named Leslie Burke (Charlie and the Chocolate Factorys AnnaSophia Robb), who also enters a race that Jesse has been trainning for. But they soon become best friends, along with being neighbors. There are also 2 bullies at the school Scott Hoager (Cameron Wakefield) and Janice Avery (Lauren Clinton) who even stands outside the womens bathroom, and charges $1.00 just to use it. Growing tired of their home, and school lives, Jesse and Leslie creates their own world, which they become rulers of, which they name Terabithia. They keep their new world a secret from their own famiies, which includes Jesses younger sister May Belle Aarons (Bailee Madison), who just wants to even spent time with them, even if it does bother Jesse.

Casting & acting (even small roles) were very well done, especially Hutcherson and Robb. I read the book many years ago and dont remember it enough to compare to this movie. Special effects were excellent, just the right amount and not over the top, which I believe can ruin an otherwise great movie. I would recommend this movie to everyone 12 yrs and older. There are many very real life situations portrayed that allow for great discussions for parents & kids.

More exciting thre first time you watch it, than the 2 nd

Bridge to Terabithia is a work of childrens literature about two lonely children who create a magical forest kingdom. It was written by Katherine Paterson and was published in 1977 by Thomas Crowell. In 1978, it won the Newbery Medal. Paterson drew inspiration for the novel from a real event that occurred in August 1974 when a friend of her son was struck by lightning and killed. Bridge to Terabithia is the story of fifth grader Jesse Aarons, who becomes friends with his new neighbor Leslie Burke after he loses a footrace to her at school. Leslie is a smart, talented, outgoing tomboy, and Jesse thinks highly of her. Jesse is an artistic boy who, in the beginning of the novel, is fearful, angry, and depressed. After meeting Leslie, Jesses life is transformed. He becomes courageous and learns to let go of his frustration. The novels content has been the frequent target of censors and appears at number eight on the American Library Association list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books for the decade 1990–2000.[1] The book is studied in English studies classes in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States. Bridge to Terabithia has been adapted for the screen twice: a 1985 PBS TV movie and a 2007 Disney/Walden Media feature film.
