Bridge To Terabithia (DVD)

Bridge To Terabithia This weekend while visiting a friend we decided to have a relaxed afternoon and stick on a film and have a glass of wine. As her ten year old son was with us we decided to watch the children’s movie Bridge to Terabithia. I have heard of the film before but didn’t really know much about it. I didn’t know who was in it, what it was about or who made the film which sometimes I think it is a good idea not knowing anything about ...
...be around him. Bridge to Terabithia was adapted by the novel which I really want to read now to compare. The story had a good pace with plenty to keep children interested. I liked the fact that even though it is a PG it had elements to keep the adults interested too. The ending was really outstanding and I was really surprised. It is not predictable at all and I found myself really involved. I think it has a different ending to most children’s films ...

Review of Bridge To Terabithia (DVD)

...unknown to us perhaps because Bridge to Terabithia is only Csupo’s second Directorial contribution since he directed a little known film called Dance in 1980. However, he has worked as producer and writer on a number of television series and films, most of which are aimed at the younger audience including The Wild Thornberrys and The Rugrats films. Notably, he has also worked as Animation Director on a number of projects including several episodes ...
...or more complex dialogue. Bridge over Terabithia does the opposite. It embraces the power these kids have and the script portrays the emotions involved in growing up, dealing responsibility, happiness, grief and guilt. The two main characters in particular were given freedom through the script to demonstrate that kids know more than adults give them credit for. It was funny in the write places, heart-wrenching in others and above all, the sentiment ...

...bad needs work etc Bridge to Terabithia Through the beginning, the movie sets itself up nicely and we are introduced to some of the main characters, and we soon find the story revolving around a quiet boy who is really good at drawing. Then we meet the new girl in town who beats all the other boys in a footrace. Soon we find out that this girl, named Leslie, has quite the imagination, and has a knack for telling stories, which quickly has the two ...
...with the children in this film, especially the two leads. Their performances were wonderful, and at this point the story began to pick up nicely as the two characters began exploring the woods in their backyard, and started to dream up a fantastic kingdom they named Terabithia. I wouldn't have had any other person direct this film other than Gabor Csupo, he really knows how to capture the lively imagination of a child, and I became engrossed in this ...

Some times I would like to have words with Disney. I mean, what ever happened to the charming musical films they used to make like beauty and the beast or snow white? Although in parts this film was visually stunning i really did feel it was let down by the lack of stoyline. Ok ok maybe they just got caught up in the "what fact of life can we teach kids about in this film" idea and forgot about a solid plot. Although it may seem like a light hearted ...
