Ahhh Omgggg yay I’m excited. Hope yall have a great thanksgiving!

Biancalama

Oh my! 😭 I’m not ready!

Jana Knowles

Oh yep, grabbing tissues 😭😭

Tya

Every child in the 2000s experienced this heartbreak and we’re still not over it 😭

Azana Reed

Making us watch this sad movie on Thanksgiving is definitely a choice 🥴😭

Curtis Rice

This is an amazing movie and honestly all I feel when I hear this name is heartbreak and I don't remember why. There are a handful of movies that I only remember feeling heartbreak and haven't watched yet. I'm going to try to watch this, it's been over a decade. I just remembered why as I was typing this out.

Justin Russell

You guys come at us with such a kind Thanksgiving post and then BAM you hit us immediately with one of the saddest movies ever made 😂😂😂

Sarah

Watching this tonight after we get home from our family Thanksgiving. ❤️ 🦃 Ready to cry, and feel all of the emotion. lol

Mads

happy thanksgiving time to cry

Shna Faruq

Oh no. Here I go revisiting the trauma again

Mathilde

I cried so much reading the book. I started the movie but I was crying in anticipation not even 5 minutes in so I stopped it then. I'll give it another try, you guys can help me tough it out!

Emily G

I’ll have to watch this tonight when I get back home. Can’t cry in front of the fam.

Mari-Emm

Okaaaay hold on, let me just get my tissues and blanket next to me. After thoughts: This story needed to be made. It needed the end thing and all the stuff that came with it. This is kinda a love letter for all the ppl who've lost someone at a young age. I've been there, a lot of ppl have. It's not about liking it happening but about understanding the narrative and the meaning of the story. It was supposed to hurt because these things do hurt. You're supposed to feel conflicted since it's a conflicting thing. <3

“Bridge to Terabithia, more like Bridge to tear my freaking heart out” is a quote I saw years ago which I feel accurately sums up this movie

Stephen Hert

Had to write a book report on this one in middle school, and it tore my fucking heart out. It's soo good, but so heartbreaking at the same time. Man.

Stephen Hert

Had to skip to THAT part, and then the reaction/score first, because I knew I'd be wreck. I'll go back and watch the whole thing eventually with them, but I had to do a book report on this one in school, and my god what a gutwrenching, heartbreaking book. Traumitized me for sure. Good luck!

Ryan Towell

Man we took our daughters to see this when it came out. Not realizing they were going to be scarred for life. Anna Sophia Robb is great. I highly recommend you all watch her in the film Soul Surfer, based on a true story.. starring her, Dennis Quaid, Helen Hun, Kevin Sorbo, Craig T Nelson and Carrie Underwood

Nikki

Happy Thanksgiving. We read the book in my 6th grade class back in the mid 90s and it was loved/devastating to us. I appreciated the movie for what it was but I remember thinking I enjoyed the book more. I assumed the book was on everyone's required middle school reading list back then, so it's surprising to me that you guys never heard of it or knew it was about childhood friendship and loss.

Mo

here we go...

JJTalkz

Mason's reaction was mine when i read this in 3rd grade

ias

I love this movie and I watched it when I was really young. I was seven when it came out and although it's a sad history there's something about the delicate way of dealing with hardships, youth, loss and grief. I do cry every time I watch it tho.

Dylan Hearts

Answer told about that to Mason in the reaction.

Crispy

I personally prefer the non zooming intros 🙂

Metweet .c

Quick note, the author of the book wrote this to help their own child deal with the death of their friend. I watched this movie at 8, i didn't even know friends could die yet 😔

Raquelly Reacts

Heartbearking, the acting was amazing. Most of us watched or read this at a very young age. Although it’s a difficult subject it’s important. People want to shelter kids from death but it happens. Kids are a lot smarter and can handle tougher subjects then given credit for. And I do agree that was taking it a bit further than they had to with Janice. And that the ending could have been fleshed out a bit more. Great movie nonetheless. Oh and also I suggested my girl on the website I didn’t realize you guys already saw it

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

Middle school? My 4th-grade class read this book when it was published! I'm surprised they've moved it up in age.

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

Bridge to Terabithia was such an important book to me and to so many of my Gen-X peers. It was published in 1977, when I was eight years old, and it won the Newbery Medal (highest U.S. national award for best fiction for children) in 1978. My 4th-grade class read it. It was, for most of us, our first encounter with the idea that a child could die, not just an old person -- especially with that death coming out of nowhere (she wasn't ill; the book doesn't lay groundwork for the reader to expect a death). Important to note - *children's* literature. Nobody then questioned that kids in grade school could handle this book. Very different nowadays. Terabitiha was a vital part of my personal curriculum, yet as Oak read out in the outro from Wikipedia, it remains one of the most "challenge to ban" books in the U.S. public education system. It has been challenged because people think the book promotes Satanism, "New Age" religion, occultism, the dreaded "secular humanism," and has "offensive language" (e.g. Jess using the word "Lord" outside of praying) and it has characters who question Christianity (these folks need reminding that public schools in the U.S. are not required to teach Christianity -- at least not yet). Also, a lot of adults have a problem with the idea of young people reading stories about someone dying. As is always the case with people trying to ban books, all of their reasoning is wrong. People in the comments may say they were "scarred for life" or the like, but the truth is, learning about death is a natural part of growing up -- and it's been shown that children who encounter death in fiction first are better equipped to manage their emotions when someone they know dies than children who have never read about (or watched a TV show/movie about) death before they have to deal with it for real. I think kids reading this book now is even more important than it was then - children's lives today are scheduled down to the second, with no time for going outside and playing with nothing but their imaginations, which is such an important part of cognitive development. (I think the story loses something being updated to more modern times because of all of the tech that's revolutionized how children experience the world since then, but that could also just be nostalgia for my own childhood). Oak brings up Fault in Our Stars and Answer brings up My Girl, and they compare this film less favorably to those two films - I get it, but in those two films, you are either told from the start that the young person is dying (TFIOS), or they do a significant amount of foreshadowing of the death of a child (MG). Part of the point of Terabithia is that death often comes out nowhere, especially a child's death. It should be jarring. It should be shocking. That is a big part of the point of the novel -- what do you do, how do you deal when death was not at all what you expected to happen. Mason Quinn says in the outro that it feels like two completely different movies - yes. It's supposed to. The world changes when someone you love dies, and it feels like a completely different world - *especially* if you're a kid. If you read the novel, it feels like two different books as well -- as it should.

Here's my obligatory Bridge to Teraithia story: When this movie came out my sister was in college and she was at a hotel bar traveling with the band. She had some drinks and stared talking about how much she loved the OG movie and the book and how she thought THIS version was horrible and how much she hated it... well the man next to her (who apparently had also had some drinks) stood up and YELLED AT HER in the bar and stormed out! It ended up being Gábor Csupó THE DIRECTOR OF THE MOVIE!!!

patrick

I used to watch this movie once or twice when I was young with the knowledge of the plottwist, so I never cried watching it (as far as I can remember at least) Safe to say, rewatching it with you guys, after all those years, I started tearing up not only 10 minutes into the movie and when THAT moment came, I was a sobbing mess right till the end of the movie lol Its such a sad, yet still beautiful movie but I dont think I will ever watch it again lol

ShaniaBADDIE4LIFE🤘🐶🐱✨

Man, when Maybelle said she was worried about Jesse, and then he pushed her, uh, man, that hurt my feelings and then she ran to Dad. That broke my heart even more. 🥺

I have a funny childhood memory about this one - I went to this movie club as a kid (in Denmark), which was organized by the local cinema and the local schools. And so for a reduced price, every kid from grade zero to eight would get to see recent-ish movies together with other kids from local schools our age. One Saturday in 2008 the third, fourth and fifth graders saw Bridge To Terabithia together - I was 12, and as you might imagine it was a movie theatre full of 150 crying children, followed by the absolute chaos afterwards on the parking lot of parents picking up their distraught and inconsolable children lol

sarina

we had to read the book AND watch this movie when i was in 4th grade. i remember our whole class crying when we finished the movie

Alanna Meyers 🍌

I agree with Quinn about Janice, it’s hard for me to have sympathy for her when they are mean to her only once after she’s been mean to so many for who knows how long.

Nikki

It could've been in elementary when we first read it, it was so long ago. Haha. I just remember our class reading it when I was really young. Twice actually, once was probably elementary and the other class was middle school.

Crispy

Can I not give my opinion lol

gen

Love the camera work during the intro hahahaha XD

Natacha P

They showed this for Hønseringen?! Oh gosh that must have been chaos indeed(also Danish here so assuming it was hønseringen haha)

Iben Frederiksen

Det var godt nok i Kalundborg, men Hønseringen er et ... interessant navn for en filmklub xD

Knightmare

You guys have been voting for this for like 3 years so I hope its good

Rawaby 1204

Probably this was the most traumatic movie i have watched, i was 13~15.. the sudden turn was so shocking and realistic cause they didn’t even show it or make a memory or an imagining scene after it (I believe) , it’s like a realistic nightmare to hear it so suddenly..

Danny

Been looking forward to this since it was announced, I'm 25 now, haven't seen this movie in a good 15 years probably, still hits as hard :')

ThetaSigmaTheOriginal

While the (spoiler) is sad, sometimes the stories that need to be told, are painful, but they still need telling. Not everything's picnics and rainbows, sadly. I think I value stories like this one more, because they're brave enough to go there.

Mad Adder

I last watched this as a child...we were assigned the book in 4th grade. I knew what was coming and the tears never stopped after that final shot of Leslie. So much to process and appreciate as an adult that has experienced unexpected loss. Thank you for sharing this reaction!

Ginger

In the book, Jess punches his little sister. That bothered Josh Hutcherson because he thought that was so wrong, so he changed it up to just pushing her down. I watched this movie in the theater because the preview made it look like a Narnia type of movie and it shocked me when I realized what the movie was really about as I watched it. The movie is ok, but not one I like to rewatch.

Crispy

Traumatized me as a 10year old kid, now bout to re-traumatized myself as a father of a little girl 😩 only for you guys 😆

Aubrey

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this, but the author’s son actually co-wrote the screenplay, which makes it that much more bittersweet. Also, Terabithia is very similar to a place in Narnia, and the Narnia books play a role in the novel, so I’m sure the marketing wasn’t accidental. Answer mentioned My Girl being the first movie to make him cry—this was the first book to make me cry. I remember spending the summer at my grandparents house. I wasn’t allowed to spend much time watching TV because of the dreaded brain rot, but I also didn’t have any friends around, so I spent the veryyyyyy long days bored out of my skull until my grandmother suggested I find a book to read in my aunt’s room. My mom was only 22 when she had me, so my aunt was only 6 years older than me. I thought she was the absolute coolest, so I perked at the prospect only to realize that most of the books were my moms (ie OLD). However, this one looked relatively new, so I chose it. It, of course, destroyed me, and I spent the rest of my summer consuming the other books on that shelf—Island of the Blue Dolphin, Call of the Wild, A Wrinkle in Time, Deenie. My journey to Terabithia had reminded me to open my mind, and I spent that summer in the most vivid, beautiful places inside my head. More importantly, it led to me picking up a pencil (because Gen X - no computers yet!!) and telling stories to myself, which grew into an enduring passion. I never did become a bestselling author, but man, I still love a good book (sans the sad part)!

I'm Batman

This one, despite the imagination fantasy element, has so much real life in this one. I get the death was jarring and felt completely out of left field, but I think that's the point, there's usually a good chance when someone we know dies it can be unexpected and it hurts us unimaginably, especially when it's a kid. Death doesn't always happen when we expect it to and I think this movie encapsulates that really well. However, I do have 1 drawback from this movie and it's what Mason Quinn and Oak brought up and that's how the ending felt SUPER rushed. And while I've only seen this movie twice the last time was around 15 years ago, and even though I remember the girls death I had trouble accepting the ending so quickly after her death happened. Great movie, a real tear jerker, I give this a 4/5 as well.

Ron B.

I think the point of the story was that Jess is taking what he’s learned from his dad/ life (practicality) and fusing it with what he learned from Leslie (imagination) and him making the bridge was his way of taking those two aspects of himself and creating a better and safer world for people to live in so bad things don’t happen like what happened to Leslie. He’s basically destined to be an architect. As far as how they got back at Janise, the point was they went too far and they realized it which is why Leslie apologized. Leslie and Jess at different points challenge each other to do the right (hard) thing.

LiveLaughLoveZonZon

This movie taught me so much about grief as a young child. I will never forget watching this in the theatres and being so shocked by it. It became a gateway for my parents to teach me more about death, and it really helped me when I went through so much of it as a young child

Aria Isara

The book banning thing in the US is so wild. We don't have anything like that in France. We also don't have puritanism or a big evangelical movement.

Nova

It feels like two different movies because that's what it feels like to lose a friend when you're a child. They captured it PERFECTLY. The confusion comes from a lack of personal experience with the feeling. I saw this film when I was sixteen, not too long after my friend Alonzo, a guy who did track and theater and was friends with everyone, got into a hit and run and died along with his brother and ten year old cousin. They were on the way to IHOP after our last production of Dracula, where Alonzo played Dracula. That night, I had done his makeup for the play and everything was normal and exciting and fun. Then a new movie started where our friend was fucking dead. The biggest thing about this film, for me, was showing a bully making fun of her death - kids were harassing and mocking those of us upset about Alonzo's death. My mom shrugged and told me to shut the fuck up. I think considering the context of a child seeing this, possibly having lost a friend, versus your feelings of being a parent and seeing a depiction of child death. Children do die, and what outlet does a kid ever have when that happens? What depiction of their feelings and grief? What parent wants to acknowledge it? The icky feelings y'all had at the end is exactly why the book was banned! We'd rather pretend kids do not die than hear someone's story of their grief in a similar situation. This story is essential.

Nova

Oh and with the kids not going to adults - this was 2007. I dropped out in 2009 after petitioning the school board to allow me to transfer schools because I was being harassed to suicide by students and faculty (who were adults!). I wasn't allowed to transfer, my parents thought I was pathetic and stupid, my teachers were all disconnected jaded underpaid shells of people who didn't give a shit or would be just as bad as the kids. There are so many situations where adults are untrustworthy or will make things worse. In the film, we see Jesse getting bullied and then the teacher calling HIM out before the other kids! That's why they don't go to adults!!! This plot is just TOO realistic for folks expecting a whimsical magical story. But I work in academia and in film/theatre now as a director and dramaturge, and this level of realism is incredibly essential for the discomfort it brings. We don't like to face reality.

Ginger

The aliens look like the aliens from Independence Day.

Aria Isara

Of course, I wasn't trying to say we have no issues. Just that since we are not very religious in France, the obsession with the so called promotion of satanism, the occult or even swearing etc is not a thing here. However, the far right is becoming more and more popular, so I hope we won't take the direction of censorship. Overall it's not a religious far right, but on questions related to the LGBT community or immigration, if they were in power I'm afraid they would start banning stuff.

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

100% yeah I hear you. I do wish the country I live in were less religion-centric, and yeah that is what drives Al of these attempts to ban books.

Leah Davis

I knew y'all were unprepared for the tragedy of this. The book was rough as a kid

Christy Oliver

This was one of my favorite books as a kid. If you liked this movie though you should watch My Sister’s Keeper. Also based on a book and will make you sob. Stars Alec Baldwin, Abigail Breslin, and Cameron Diaz. You should check it out!

Knightmare

I thought it was fantastic. And so heartbreaking. This film was great.

totallynotimari

I said this already when you guys first announced it being on the watchlist but… ANNASOPHIA ROB WILL BE PAYING FOR MY THERAPY ✋🏽 Between her in this and Because of Winn Dixie? Yeah, no thank you.

Mackenzie OReally Bravo

My comment from the website: Man, I could write AN ESSAY about this movie. I probably have actually (definitely did book reports). Sorry you had to go through the trauma, but if you didn't do it as a child, you had to do it now. I think this movie is so important, especially (which you already know) about why the book was written. I think there are very few movies shown that are 'made' for children that discuss grief. Especially the part about 'if she doesn't believe in God, is she going to hell' - because being raised religious, that's definitely a real child's fear, and I'm glad that was addressed/combated, because it is a RIDICULOUS thing to teach. Relieved you have already seen My Girl, so you could skip that trauma. Would love a rewatch thou 😊 I love how you can tell how 'not into' the imagination Jess is in the beginning, and over time, he starts to believe more and more, and you can see how positively Leslie impacted him, and how much he believes at the end, so much so, that he can introduce May Belle to the world of Terabithia. Also, Ms. Edmund (Zooey D.) said the nieces/nephews COULDN'T come since there was a change of plans, so no one else was supposed to join the museum trip. I also think that when the book was written in the 70's, a teacher going on a weekend field trip with a student wouldn't have been as weird as today, where it would essentially be a near felony. I like the camera linger on the last time you see Leslie, because after the rewatch, you realize why they did that shot. It's also excellent how they allude to the Dark Master being a representation of the dad, due to the sound of the keys rattling when you see him. I think the dynamic between Jess/his dad is so interesting, because Jess just wants to be loved so desperately, and he has to earn it, compared to May Belle who just freely receives it. This book/movie literally shaped my childhood. I've probably seen it over 30 times, if not more. In elementary school, I dressed like Leslie - wore arm socks, cut my hair short, wore converse (which were very hard to find in elementary school actually), and lots of clothing layers. I had a friend of mine who was also a fan of the book/movie, and in her basement, we created a Terabithia of our own (giant paper troll drawn by our parents, fake greenery, etc.). Also, partially agree about the bullying - what Jess/Leslie did was mean, BUT, Janice literally making them pay to pee, bullying NOT just them but probably most of the school? Naaaah, get her. 😂 Sorry Oak. I think also when the book was written, bullying wasn't as much of a no-no as it is today with school 'no tolerance' policies and all. I do love how they ended up making Janice a dynamic character, even as a bully, and gave her a background and a little character arc of her own. You guys really picked Me Before You & Bridge to Terabithia in the same month, which is WILD. And on Thanksgiving? Hilarious. Probably thought this was a feel-good family film. You THOUGHT. Wish I could tell ya how the book compared to the movie, but it's been YEARS since I've read it. Might be time for a reread. Appreciate you guys watching!

Justin Russell

I hadn’t seen this since 2007 like The Whale I vowed to never watch it again and yet I just found myself rewatching it along. The minute Anna Sophia came on the screen I remembered why it’d been 18 years.

jo

i LOVED winn dixie as a kid oh my god 🥲

Silv3R2

This movie is just something else, I just think it's a masterpiece, so realistic, so incredibly good. I think it's in my top 10 easy made me cry like a little girl, I just wanted to hug Jess the whole movie.

Mad Adder

WINN DIXIE MENTIONED! Never gets enough love. Dave Mathews, Jeff Daniels...

Jane Avery

I'm so curious - what did Csupó say? Or was she too drunk/shocked to remember?

4f cigarette burn

lol what was that amazing camera work during the intros for each of you? I hope you do that more often

Gambit3838

Let's remember one thing and make one thing clear: when watching a Disney film EXPECT SOME FOR OF TRAGEDY. Just remember literally every major Disney movie ever. DEATH DEATH & DEATH. 🤷‍♂️🤦

Kdeezy Baby

I cry like a BABY every-time I watch this 😭

Loveeee Soul Surfer!! Anna is a wonderful actress.
