Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

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.

Im shocked at how few people know of this movie! I list this on my Facebook page and I have only four other movies there. Im a parent & grandparent, so that added to my understanding. This took me to the extremes of all emotions more than any other movie. Make sure youve got a full box of tissues because even the happy scenes made tears stream down my face and drip off my jaws--and Im a tough guy. The Bonus Features are great too.

I adore this movie and wasnt able to find it in stores anywhere. Im so glad I found it finally! Brand new, plays fine!

I watched this movie for the first time last weekend with my 10 year old granddaughter (my wife had read the book and had seen the movie years before but had never brought it into the family). She is going into a new school and the first assignment was to read the book...500 pages in one week. She was somewhat stressed. The movie helped get her calm and remembering keys themes. Key themes were solid and perfectly understood by her: friendship, love, sacrifice, grief. Now in my family imagination is paramount. With an imagination one can solve any problem; with imagination one can dream dreams. Imagination is vital to the human condition, and we make sure that our children and grandchildren are well equipped with it. This story also comes so close to my own childhood beginning with the building of the tree house and then the bridge. Even the rope was over our swimming hole and with each year got closer to the water. I would put this movie along with our favorites: The Never Ending Story, Willi Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Princess Bride. All are must haves; and all should be revisited annually. This will compliment our collection.

This is a really good movie. I had only heard about this movie and that it was good. So without knowing about its dark side, I planned an evening to watch it at home, with my wife & two of my daughters (23 & 21). After a mostly lighthearted beginning, most of the way through the movie, there is a dark turn of events. We were all kind of in shock and my daughters were crying. Ive heard that the BOOK is widely read around the [....] or so, so many kids are familiar with the story line. I WOULD NOT recommend it for viewers younger than about 10. There are a numnber of good elements. It shows the power of imagination. The friendship between Jess and Leslie is powerful. Teachers are portrayed in a POSITIVE light. And in the end, Jess builds a bridge and introduces his sister to his and Leslies magical place. The dark turn should provide a talking point for parents of teens. This is without regard to your personal beliefs. Religion plays only a very small part in this movie. You should take the opportunity to talk with your kids about the topic. (Im avoiding mentioning the exact nature of the dark turn to avoid being a spoiler. But you can probably take a good guess.) So, Id recommend it highly. Just be prepared for a good discussion afterwards.

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.

A group of teenagers came over and begged to watch this movie. I bought and found a group of 15 years old crying and said they loved it. I can only use their tears and how much they talked about loving it as a gauge of how good it 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.

This movie started out seeming as if it were going to have a moral of you can do anything with enough imagination which is what I thought was going to be though out the movie. I have not read the book so did not know the story. That was not exactly the case, to a point yes but there is a sharp turn in the movie toward the end. We enjoyed the bulk of this movie but toward the end where it takes it sharp turn it lost us and we have never watched it a second time. I would not recommend it for small children there is some stuff that is way over their head and will likely just upset them or confuse them at best. (spoiler alert* stop reading if you do not want to know what happens in the movie) I would not have let my small girls watch this movie if I had known that the girl was going to up and die in the end in a stupid accident that should not have even happened. The whole thing seemed forced and just plain awful to me. It just seemed like they killed the character off for shock value (I do not know if she died in the book or not or if the author of the book did it for the same reason of shock value or what I can only speak toward the movie) I just felt that it was not necessary and I hate movies that get you invested in a character only to kill them off in the end in a stupid did not do any good other than to upset people type move. sorry.... this is not a movie that has ever left the shelf a second time in our house in the last several years since I first got it.

Great movie..
