Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

The task of devising a story that gives children hope in real-life situations is a daunting one. Each of our children face adversaries on a daily basis in their neighborhoods and at school. This amazing story celebrates a childs capacity to sort through these types of problems from within the combined world of fantasy and daily life. It is truly a tale that acknowledges a childs perspective and captures their indomitable spirit. Kudos to the author and screen writer who so effectively express *childrens ability to stand their ground while treating an adversary with compassion; *a childs unique aptitude for understanding their parents perspective; *childrens need for allies when among peers and family; *misunderstandings turned to empathetic gifts of understanding. YEP - Kudos to this movie and all it expresses!

Its very rare that a movie is so true to life and so well done. As it deals with death issues, Id recommend parents of young children watch the movie with them to explain the loss of Leslie and aftermath. There is so much in this movie that can be discussed with children as a teaching tool. This movie will be around for a long time, thank you for offering the movie and all the people who had a hand in filming it.

I thought that this movie was going to be like something like Narnia or Spiderwick, boy was I surprised. Thats one of the reasons why I was hesitating to buy it because well I really wasnt a fan of those films. I thought that the movie was going to be mostly about Tarabithia, but no it was about friendship, this film was truly amazing. Though what I would had liked to see more was the friendship between Jesse and Leslie, yes the friendship was believable, but I think the ending would have been more powerful if more development would have been done, it still managed to make me cry like a baby towards the ending, the performance of Josh Hutcherson was amazing and powerful and so were the other actors. One of the reasons why I wanted to watch this movie was because of Josh. Zooey Deschanel, from New Girl, was also in this movie, which made me happier, though she didnt have a huge role in it. This movie is definitely amazing, this movie should had been praised a lot more then it was, I think it should have even been nominated for an Oscar, for best picture or something. This is an amazing movie. Everything about just made me say wow, the only reason why I didnt give it a 5 star was because I think the friendship, between Jesse and Leslie, there should have been more scenes/detail as to how strong their friendship was.

Really deserves 5 stars, but the sudden death of the girl brings angry feelings of blame and irresponsibility to be placed on the boy. That would be a load to carry in reality, but skimmed over in the plot.

My 11 year old daughter wanted this movie and she loved it.

I love this movie for the imagination of the characters. I have my grandsons watch it, to teach them that its okay to use your imagination and have fun with it. The hardest part, (if youve seen it you know. If you havent, Im not telling) is what happens, and having to explain it to my grandsons. They were saddened by it, but enjoyed the movie as a whole.

It was an enjoyable exploration of trials and triumphs of growing up. The movie was enjoyable and good to watch with kids. I gave it 4 stars for being a bit hokey at times... but overall, a great movie - and good for a long cry.

Jesse grows in confidence and joy after meeting his new neighbor Leslie, whose unconventional ways and wonderful imagination take them on marvelous adventures. Although I loved it, there were ways in which it didnt live up to the amazingness of the book. The parents were more likable in the movie; it left out how the dad thought drawing was effeminate, and how the mom favored the teenage sisters. What the movie did so well was to capture Terabithia. The squogles (imaginary squirrel monsters) were fabulous.
