Critique:

This is one of the few movies made for the younger crowd that actually contains a strong story, poetically portrayed by its cast, without too many over-the-top special effects. The Bridge to Terabithia is a perfect balance between imagination and realism, with everything in between. It's not just a film for the younger crowd though—it's one for all ages.

Hutcherson is great in this role, in fact, there was not one performance in Bridge to Terabithia that was less than spot on. Of all the movies sporting the Disney brand over the last few years for young adults, this one stands out the most.

The feature film is enough reason to buy this fabulous DVD. The featurettes are just little sprinkles on top. If you like a good story; if you are a fan of this award-winning novel—if you believe there is still a little magic left in such a sad, sad world...that is reason enough to place this DVD on your shelf.
