Bridge to Terabithia
Jesse Aarons trained all summer to become the fastest runner in school. So he's very upset when newcomer Leslie Burke outruns him and everyone else. Despite this and other differences including that she's rich, he's poor, she's a city girl, and he's a country boy the two become fast friends. Together they create Terabithia, a land of monsters, trolls, ogres, and giants where they rule as king and queen. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →Bridge to Terabithia I refuse to reread the book or watch the movie. It was assigned to us as a book to read in 5th grade. The teacher blacked out the description to hide spoilers.

unlabelledView post →Books to Films 📚=🎞️ Bridge to Terabithia (1977) by Katherine Paterson was filmed in 1985 & 2007. The 2007 film is closest & most ambitious though it changes the time period. Both delve into childhood imagination and grief, as the movie visualizes the creatures of Terabithia. 🌳🌉✍️ #filmsky #booksky
unlabelledView post →I get it. Maybe other kids in your class weren’t reading. I also love those books, but words mean things, yall More people need to revisit their fiction, but Bridge to Terabithia, the acclaimed book and movie that reduced my 4th grade class to shambles for 15 mins is not obscure in this timeline.
unlabelledView post →All the promotion reminds me of the movie version of Bridge to Terabithia, which made it out to be some generic kid’s adventure story to the point I had no idea it was the book that I bawled my eyes out reading as a kid

So it's not really the first then, is it? > An exclusive poll for Newsweek conducted by Redfield and Wilton Strategies in July found that 34 percent of viewers disapproved of Disney's attempt to add more LGBTQ+ topics to its content. This I never understand. If Disney is a for profit company, why would they not listen to their majority? Aren't they leaving money on the table like…

unlabelledView post →It's definitely one of the biggest "Never Trust A Trailer" stories of all time. right up there with Kangaroo Jack and Bridge to Terabithia For those who aren't aware... or just weren't around during those controversies - Kangaroo Jack - Was meant to be a stoner comedy about two guys chasing a kangaroo when they accidentally leave a jacket containing a mob boss' drug money, on a Kangaroo and have to track him down to get it back. When it tested poorly with audiences, the film was marketed as…

unlabelledView post →Amazing no one has mentioned Bridge to Terabithia (2007). The screenwriters disavowed the trailers, iirc. Looks like a cute kids fantasy movie, starts out leaning that way with a middle-school Manic Pixie Dream Girl, then turns **hard** into being completely real life and extremely tragic. 14-year old me was not prepared.

unlabelledView post →Y’know when I was a kid, my folks and I went to see Disney’s adaptation of “Bridge to Terabithia” because it was marketed as a fun low-stakes fantasy film. Plenty of parents with way younger kids went to the same theater as us with the same thought (again, because of the marketing). And, well…

unlabelledView post →I read Bridge To Terabithia in the 3rd grade. That definitely changed me. I’ve never seen the movie because I don’t need to. Or want to. I read it long before that was made and there’s no way it could ever have the same impact on me. Good or bad.
unlabelledView post →At this point I think I can say I've had three supremely major reactions to media. The first, was the first time I cried at a movie, probably a lot of people's firsts, at least around my age. Bridge to Terabithia, right in the theater, I was doing my best to hold back tears.

And I made him promise to watch Bridge to Terabithia (the movie) with me, after we watched the play at his school and it was hard for him to follow.

unlabelledView post →The article says it’s their first openly Christian character since the Bridge to Terabithia movie from 2007 They should’ve worded it like “Disney adds new openly Christian Character since Bridge to Terabithia” But that wouldn’t make bigots think Disney is “turning over a new leaf”
unlabelledView post →Man, ads for "Bicentennial Man" and "Bridge to Terabithia" were kind of misleading during their run. I saw both in theaters and well I found Bicentennial Man to be boring, unfortunately. As for Bridge...FUCKED ME UP! It was "My Girl" all over again! It was an ok movie, but the ads SO misleading!
unlabelledView post →Three movies this week for the Feel Good movie challenge. Classic Toy Story (1995) which was such a tight 81 minutes, Bridge to Terabithia (2007) a coming of age tale that made me cry and Música (2024), a really stylistic movie with some great music sequences. #filmsky

unlabelledView post →Made the error of watching Bridge to Terabithia earlier. There is nothing like starting a Monday off with a protracted bout of ugly crying… Given the list of films etc that set me off, I have a hideously snotty inspiration for a film festival at The Mitchester.
unlabelledView post →I watched a *lot* of horror movies with my dad when I was entirely too young to be doing that. To this day, the scariest film scenes are either a) realism or b) inescapable evil scenery. As a kid, Bridge to Terabithia changed my childhood exploration habits significantly.
unlabelledView post →Idk if it counts, since it's probably just my memory of the strong emotion I felt at the time, rather than the objective quality of the scene ( I haven't watched the movie in over 10 years) but the moment the kid finds out *spoiler* in Bridge to Terabithia always gets me when I think about it.

unlabelledView post →Welp, I made the mistake of watching All the Bright Places. It's like Bridge to Terabithia all over again. And My Girl before that. Every time I watch a film (admittedly it's like once every 15 years) like these some goober is always cutting onions close by.
