Bullied at school, and with worries at home, young Jesse Aaron (Josh Hutcherson) sets his heart on being the fastest runner in the 5th grade. When the day of the race finally arrives however, his dream is shattered when new girl in school, Leslie Burke (Anna Sophia Robb), beats him to the tape. Despite this initial setback, the pair soon realise they have a lot in common, and a friendship develops. Discovering that they both share creative talents, (Jesse loves to draw, while Leslie is a keen storyteller), they invent the magical kingdom of Terabithia, a fantasy world reached by swinging on a rope over a stream near their homes. Once inside Terabithia, they become the rulers of all they see, embarking on magical adventures, fighting evil, and learning how to triumph over bullies. Review: A good movie, inspired by real-life events, but rather misrepresented by the TV trailers - My 11 year old son and I went to see this movie on the strength of the Disney TV trailers that really gave a totally false impression of what the film was about (it seemed perhaps it would be a great fantasy adventure similar to 'The time bandits', 'Narnia' or the recent 'Stardust'). In fact the film is more like a standard US teen movie, with typical school yard, home-life and school bus scenes. However the quality of the movie is simply in another league to most teen flicks, and it's got some visually stunning moments (not unlike quality films such as 'Alice doesn't live here anymore' and 'Fried green tomatoes'). It's got an intelligent script aimed squarely at an older kid audience, a fine young/adult cast, and is simply a good movie. It's not for most, if any, under 9s though as it deals with late preteen/teenager childhood friendship and school problems. It has also got quite a few pretty children's fantasy sequences which my son happily took to be real, Narnia style - and it's not that scary, although it is emotionally intense. I don't want to give away any more of the plot though, just try it for the family as it's ideal to rent or perhaps buy. I can't see many kids watching it often though, as its power works best on first viewing - unless someone ruins it by giving away the storyline. That said, it's likely this will be a childhood movie they will remember. The book, and film, was based on the author's son's real childhood friendship with a girl schoolfriend (although they were both eight at the time and not twelve as with the character's in the movie). I don't think the themes are unsuitable for older preteens - I enjoyed weepies Old Yeller and Bambi at 5 or 6 and in some respects the movies final scenes are quite uplifting. Besides the storyline is dictated by real events, not a Disney scriptwriter. It might be a good idea to watch the movie with youngsters though, not only because it's a good film, but also so that you can talk about it afterwards. My son and I really enjoyed 'Bridge to Terabithia', even though it was almost the exact opposite of what we expected given the Disney promotional trailers [and it's not really fair to blame the film or it's creators for that]. This DVD movie's run time is 1 h 32 min, in 16:9 widescreen, it's rated PG (age 7+), with Dolby Stereo & 5.1 audio, and the it has English HoH subtitles. The PAL UK Region 2 locked DVD has quite a few extras: Map of the forest, The 'Bringing Terabithia to life' documentary, 'Behind the book' featurette, four audio commentaries (Director, Producer, Writer, Cast), and the 'Cast and Crew Interviews'. Rotten Tomatoes rate the film highly at 85%. Review: Recommended - Well Worth Watching - This is an excellent film to watch and I highly recommend it - if you're in the mood for a heart-warming, emotion-pulling family movie. Contrary to what some other reviewers have said, this film DOES have a happy ending, but in order to get to that point you do have to navigate a poignant moment - but this is crucial to the story's ultimate triumph. The visual effects (done by WETA, who worked on Lord of the Rings, King Kong, Narnia and many more) are very delicately done, like exquisite decoration on a grand tapestry - they are introduced subtly and grow only to enhance the imaginative sequences of the movie and never become the movie (unlike some films which get lost in their own cgi cleverness). The film itself is expertly played by all the central characters but especially by the two child ones and so it becomes easy to be drawn into both their 'make-believe' and harsher 'real life' worlds. The storyline develops through alienation, awkwardness, transformation, maturation, sadness, friendship, love and triumph as seen through the eyes and lives of these two children; a down-at-heel boy and a newcomer girl, who are both 'outsiders' in their separate ways but become the best of friends. I loved this film, it doesn't require too much thinking, yet it conveys the simple beauty of real friendship, and the simple truth that friendships change and in this way it was slightly reminiscent of "Pay It Forward". The author wrote this story many years ago around events in her own son's life who, now as a grown adult, co-produced and co-wrote the screenplay for this movie, therefore, imparting intimate understandings of the characters that other writers and/or producers would not have been able to convey. The Special Features are a bit hit and miss; the "Behind the Book" and "Digital Imagination" sections are both informative and worth watching but unfortunately the "Map Quest" is just a waste of time. Finally, if you've seen the trailer above (as I have just now whist writing this review) please ignore it - the scenes ARE from the movie but it presents a COMPLETELY misleading impression of the film. But don't let that put you off, this is definitely a movie to watch more than once. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | AnnaSophia Robb, Bailee Madison, Cameron Wakefield, David Paterson, Devon Wood, Gábor Csupó, Hal Lieberman, Josh Hutcherson, Kate Butler, Latham Gaines, Lauren Clinton, Lauren Levine, Robert Patrick, Zooey Deschanel Contributor AnnaSophia Robb, Bailee Madison, Cameron Wakefield, David Paterson, Devon Wood, Gábor Csupó, Hal Lieberman, Josh Hutcherson, Kate Butler, Latham Gaines, Lauren Clinton, Lauren Levine, Robert Patrick, Zooey Deschanel See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 479 Reviews | | Format | PAL | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Icon Home Entertainment | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 1 hour and 35 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** PAL - **Contributor:** AnnaSophia Robb, Bailee Madison, Cameron Wakefield, David Paterson, Devon Wood, Gábor Csupó, Hal Lieberman, Josh Hutcherson, Kate Butler, Latham Gaines, Lauren Clinton, Lauren Levine, Robert Patrick, Zooey Deschanel - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 35 minutes - **Colour:** Colour ## Images ![Bridge To Terabithia [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91r+ohI7yYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good movie, inspired by real-life events, but rather misrepresented by the TV trailers *by C***J on 21 August 2007* My 11 year old son and I went to see this movie on the strength of the Disney TV trailers that really gave a totally false impression of what the film was about (it seemed perhaps it would be a great fantasy adventure similar to 'The time bandits', 'Narnia' or the recent 'Stardust').

Snuggled up in bed with chocolate & a glass of wine is perfect movie viewing when the day has been too much & don't want to view anything heavy & one isn't in the mood for overzealous humour. I love the chemistry between the superb acting of the youngsters in this. Although the story does take an emotional turn, it is handled beautifully & not over dramatic,also no annoying background music to ruin the moment. This never fails to make me smile when I've had a crappy day. There are several issues addressed in the film, beautifully weaved together & yet doesn't make you feel exhausted afterwards. The acting is beautifully executed & actually puts some of our 'experienced' adult actors to shame. If there is a film that you are wanting to watch with your child or youngsters (I watch with my nieces & nephew ages - 11,6 & 2) & they were hooked, I highly recommend this . It doesn't contain foul language or violence etc.. In-fact, just watch it also when you're alone & don't apologise for it :) Enjoy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bridge To Terabithia [DVD] - Bridge to Terabithia (A Puffin Book) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/56464043-bridge-to-terabithia-dvd](https://www.desertcart.at/products/56464043-bridge-to-terabithia-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
