Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

this movie remains one of my all-time favorites. they just dont make movies like this one anymore.

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.

Sadddd movieeee

My daughter asked for this movie for Easter. She actually asked for the DVD which shocked because Im so used to just renting or buying digital versions of movies. She loved this movie so much she said she wanted it physically in her hands. Its a nice movie for anyone in your family. It stars Josh Hutcherson of The Hunger games and AnnaSophia Robb of televisions The Carrie Diaries. Both actors are a bit young, as this movie is seven years old. The movies theme is one of friendship, imagination and loss. It made me cry my eyes out but my daughter loves it. She has watched it three times since it arrived. Im really glad we ordered this and in co inclusion its a great family movie but might be a bit sad for younger children or older mommies :)

My 3 year old daughter loved it! Very heartfelt story.

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!

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.

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.

I was bored on a Saturday afternoon and decided to flip through the channels. When I came to this movie it was about a third of the way into it. I cant tell you what hooked me but it brought back many childhood memories for me. It drew me back to playing with my sisters and brothers or friends in intricatly designed fantasies from our forts of cardboard boxes to the evil neighbor kid who taunted us. This movie was a way back machine and brought out some emotion I hadnt expected.It takes you up and down and up again. It made me laugh and cry. I dont often watch kids movies anymore but I was so wanting to see it from the beginning that I looked for it and bought it. I gave it to a friend who I thought could use the fantasy and now I have to buy myself another copy. I would love to have shared this with my kids when they were younger but not too young to understand what was happening.

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