Young Jess and Leslie meet in school and soon learn they have several things in common, including a need to explore their imaginations. Leslie’s family has just moved in next door to Jess. Soon the two are inseparable and off to a wooded area that becomes a fantasy land of their own making called, “Terabithia.” There the two of them fight hairy vultures, living trees and other creatures. There is a tragic twist in the film which is handled gently and appropriately. Jess doesn’t have a close relationship with his dad and he yearns for that. Until that time comes, he loses himself along with Leslie in Terabithia.
So, close your eyes and keep your mind wide open! Travel to Terabithia, where anything is possible.Terabithia is an imaginative adventure for the family. We recommend this film for ages twelve and above, due to thematic elements.
