Bridge to Terabithia : Movie Review


Bridge to Terabithia is an example of a movie that does not deliver what the marketing campaign promises. Instead, it delivers something richer and more meaningful. Disney, in its infinite wisdom, is trying to make the film look like a watered down Harry Potter or Chronicles of Narnia. While there are elements of fantasy within the story, they exist to support Bridge to Terabithia's themes, not as a legitimate entity in and of themselves. This is a movie about imagination and friendship, not about swords and sorcery. Those who are familiar with Katherine Paterson's Newberry Award winning children's book will be aware of this. Those who are familiar only with the film's trailer will not.
