Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

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.

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.

Cute movie. My 10 yr old daughter liked it

This movie surprised almost at the end when something sad took place. It has a mix of little bit of everything. I love that movie and I highly recommend for those who love to dream or play with their imagination.

Great movie. Came in on time.

The book is awesome, and the movie is a fun way to reward kids who have read the whole thing. The only thing is that you will probably need a permission slip if youre doing this at school since its PG. The reason its PG is that it touches on the mature topic of death and bullying; theres nothing inappropriate, unless your little ones think the fantasy stuff is scary. When I taught the book, most of my kids had already seen the movie, since it is a modern film. The thing about Terabithia is that its a place the boy and girl made up, and all the CG fantasy stuff is a visualization of what the kids are imagining. If you see the movie before reading the book, you miss that part. It is advertised as a fantasy like Narnia, but all the fantasy is what the kids imagine. If you look at the bad reviews, you just see people who didnt like the sad ending, or who were expecting more fantasy. Obviously they didnt read the book. Keep in mind that originally the book was written in the 70s, when life was very different. The movie does a pretty good job of *showing* you e book, but they do change a few things, including the setting. It has a very sad ending, the same as the book, so make sure your kids can handle death being a theme. I would have given it five stars if it had stuck more closely to the book, but overall I understand why they changed a few things. To summarize the plot, the little boy hates his life, then he meets the girl, who is new to the school. They get bullied at school so they find a little hide-out in the first and imagine all this fantasy stuff; its not literally there, and the CD graphics are just to show you what they imagine. They go to Terabithia several times, and the story shows you the boys sad life, and how he finds a few positive things to help him get through it. I wont tell you exactly how it ends, but it *is* sad, so dont show this to little ones expecting a feel-good happy ending. You should probably talk to your kids, in fact, about issues like death and bullying. This is reality, and we need to face it. Plus, read the book first, because it has so much more to offer. Just remember, the setting is the 70s in the book.

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.

Exactly what I wanted. Perfect condition

Movie was great

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.
