It’s rare for any movie to reduce an entire generational to a smoldering pile of emotional rubble, never mind a modestly-budgeted $17 million fantasy backed by the might of the Disney machine, but audiences of a certain age will never forget the first time they saw Bridge to Terabithia.
Matters weren’t helped by a deliberately misleading marketing campaign that promised a fun-filled, whimsical time at the theater to watch two engaging young leads traverse a richly-detailed world populated full of magical creatures. But that’s not what the film was. Not even close. So much so, in fact, that the filmmakers and screenwriter David Paterson publicly disavowed the approach to selling Bridge to Terabithia.
