I was just a little too old to have read the book when I was a kid, so I don't know how the film compares, but I can say it is a wonderful fantasy film.
Jess is a budding young artist who's picked on at school, he befriends the new girl, Leslie, a social misfit who encourages him to dream in spite of his father's constant admonishments to "get your head out of the clouds". Together Jess and Leslie visit the magical woods of Terabithia, their after-school refuge. But real life has a funny way of throwing you curve balls when you least expect it, and life changes so fast when you're an adolescent.
'Bridge to Terabithia' is a beautiful and unforgettable film filled with lessons about love and loss, friendship, regret, family, and the value of imagination, hard work and compassion.
