Product Information

Four of the tracks from the film's score, was only featured in the soundtrack, and Zigman's score was separately released from the album, in December 2007, only for promotional use. Soon one of the friends must draw on the strength of their imaginary kingdom to cope with a tragedy. On Metacritic the film received a weighted average score of 74/100 based on 25 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Well, this film is draggy, trite and all around cloying, but that's mostly because of storytelling, because in concept, this story, while minimalist something fierce, offers worthy coming-of-age subject matter that combines wonderment with grounded themes on friendship and bringing oneself to reality. Csupó explained that "it was a very conscious decision from the very beginning that we're not going to overdo the visual effects because of the story's integrity and the book's integrity", because there was only a brief mention of Jess and Leslie fighting imaginary creatures in the forest in the novel. The site's consensus reads: " Bridge to Terabithia is a faithful adaptation of a beloved children's novel and a powerful portrayal of love, loss, and imagination through children's eyes. Now, certain special effects are not all that special, with only a few being expansive, but most every visual effect, whether it be minimal or grandly well-crated, boasts a creativity that blends it into the context of fantasy themes with a lot of color.Although Csupó had never worked on a live-action film before, it "didn't worry Granat in the least". to reflect particularly glaring lapses in subtlety that, through, if you will, overdevelopment and sometimes near-grating sentimentality, undercut heart. The life of Jesse (Josh Hutcherson), an adolescent, changes when he befriends Leslie (AnnaSophia Robb), the class outsider.

Josh Hutcherson was not their first choice for the role of Jesse Aarons, but they settled with him because they "felt the chemistry between AnnaSophia Robb and him". He apologizes to May Belle for snapping at her and then invites her to Terabithia, where the siblings agree to rule together, with Jess as the king and May Belle as the princess. He rides the bus to school with his younger sister, May Belle, where he avoids the school bully, Janice Avery.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The most important thing for Paterson was to keep the spirit of the book alive while finding a way to transform it from "a novel that takes place mostly in the characters' heads to a dynamic visual medium".
