Bridge to Terabithia is a 1977 novel by Katherine Paterson. It has twice been adapted to film, first as a 1985 Made-for-TV Movie for PBS, and again as a 2007 theatrical film produced by Walden Media and distributed by Disney, starring Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb and directed by Klasky-Csupo co-founder Gábor Csupó.Jesse, the main character, is a young boy who lives in a small rural town, not too far from Washington, D.C. A bit of a loner, he practices running all summer so he can be the fastest in his grade at school. Being the fastest boy sure beats being the quiet boy who loves drawing more than he should.However, on the first day of school, Jesse's new next-door neighbor, Leslie Burke, completely overtakes him. What starts as resentment and annoyance between the two turns into an extraordinary friendship, because Leslie is an extraordinary girl. With her gift for words, she and Jesse create a kingdom together in the nearby woods — a kingdom that they call "Terabithia," with a castle stronghold to fight imaginary monsters and plot battles to fight real monsters — starting an adventure that will completely change Jesse's world.The story is known for its Bittersweet Ending and by proxy being a grade-A example of Death by Newbery Medal. It has been banned on more than one occasion for a supposed Teacher/Student Romance and other non-existent sexual content note Jesse has a crush on one of his teachers, something everyone who's reached the age of 12 can probably relate to. She invites him to the museum, and insists on paying on the grounds that she's a liberated woman and invited him (and, more practically, she's a teacher and can afford it better). That's literally as far as it goes — there's zero evidence that said teacher has any inappropriate feelings or is aware of his crush. as well as religious content and some swearing. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Unlike in the book where Brenda was more matter-of-fact in saying their mother thought Jesse was dead, she says rather angrily, "We thought you were dead!", when Jesse gets home from the museum. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: The animal freed from the greenhouse was meant to be a Virginia, or American, opossum, but a common brushtail possum was substituted because of New Zealand's very strict prohibitions on importing non-native wildlife. It counts as a "behind-the-scenes" example, too; Brushtail possums are not native to New Zealand either, but because they were introduced there decades ago, there was no need to specifically import one for the movie. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: Quite possibly one of the most baffling cases in modern movie history. The trailer for the 2007 film made it seem like a Narnia-esque fantasy movie where Terabithia was real. Apparently, the filmmakers were none too pleased with the way the movie was marketed, either. Especially since the key screenwriter was David Paterson, the son of the original author and on whom Jesse is based. This also led to confusion with fans who hadn't read the book, as they watched the movie waiting for Terabithia to "become real" only to realize it doesn't. | |

Parents as People | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_20989d05 | comment |
Parents as People: Leslie talks with Jesse about how she's beginning to understand her father Bill more as a person by working with him on renovating their house. Jesse is confused by the prospect, thinking that parents aren't people he needs to understand so much as obey. This changes as he begins to spend more time with Bill and comes to understand him as a person, and then after Leslie's death, when he works through his grief with his previously-aloof father. | |

Cool-Down Hug | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_2fd1d68a | comment |
Jesse's family is rather hard on him, with his older sisters often teasing him and his parents being distant. When Leslie dies, and they realize Jesse doesn't know, they all noticeably lighten up on him. Mrs. Aarons makes Jesse pancakes and gives him seconds, and his older sisters give him space to grieve. Most notably, Mr. Aarons stops being so aloof and comforts Jesse directly. He spends the rest of the story doing Jesse's chores, not punishing him for hitting May Belle in a fit of anger, and giving him a Cooldown Hug when his son has a breakdown in the woods. | |

Secret Message Wink: Jesse' baby sister Joyce Ann bursts into tears, worried Santa won't know how to bring gifts to their chimney-less house. As Jesse reassures her that Santa knows the way, he winks at his wiser sister May Belle to tell her that he bought all their Christmas gifts. When Jesse helps Leslie and her parents redo a room, Leslie calls the room "worthy of..." Jesse looks up, fearing she'll let the secret of Terabithia slip, but she finishes with "...of a palace." She looks over to Jesse and winks, reassuring him that Terabithia is still their secret. | |

Manic Pixie Dream Girl | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_46290b93 | comment |
Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Funnily enough, the film casts MPDG queen Zooey Deschanel as Ms. Edmunds. The character she plays is one of her few roles not of this type. She comes off that way to Jesse, though, compared with the other adults in his life, hence his infatuation with her. Leslie fills something of a platonic version of this trope — especially with her Adaptational Attractiveness and Girliness Upgrade. It's her influence that gives Jesse the courage to stand up to bullies, encourage his imagination and die tragically, leaving him with Character Development. But unlike completely straight examples, Leslie learns things from Jesse too (he encourages her to comfort Janice) and she seeks him out because she wants a friend. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Jesse's father, Jesse Sr. He is very strict towards his son, and even harsh at times, but it's understandable given the family's level of poverty. He's also shown to be a good parent in spite of it all, and the scene where he comforts his son after Leslie's death is one of the more poignant moments, especially in the film. | |

Silence of Sadness: Jesse Aarons is noticeably more quiet in the final scenes of the Disney adaptation, returning to school after his friend Leslie's funeral. He doesn't say a word when Kenny the bus driver offers him a few words of condolences, doesn't even flinch when giving the class bully Scott a well-deserved punch for making a tasteless joke over the death, keeps completely silent when his class teacher Miss Myers tries consoling him, and is completely voiceless, preferring to bury his head in his hands during Miss Edmunds' music class. | |

Mistaken for Gay | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_561dab6b | comment |
Mistaken for Gay: One of the book's plot points, and the main source of conflict between Jesse and his dad. Set in the 70s, Jesse is into art and his only friend is a tomboyish girl, so his parents are quite uncomfortable with him spending so much time with Leslie. In turn, he's insecure about how others perceive him; he hides his art from everyone besides Ms. Edmunds and Leslie, and when asked to write about his hobby, he lies about being into football to fit in with the other boys. This is Adapted Out in the 2007 film adaptation. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: In the film, the setting is changed to the present day, so there's less focus on Jesse wanting to be an artist, which was the main conflict between him and his father in the book. It also doesn't make a big deal about Leslie being a Tomboy. | |

Middle Child Syndrome: Jesse gets a pretty bad deal out of this trope, since he's not only the very-middle child out of five, he's also the only boy. Not to mention his older sisters bully him and the youngest daughter is a particularly bratty baby; the only one who really likes him is May Belle, and even she gets annoying because she always wants to be around him, whether he wants it or not. Oh, and he's a "Well Done, Son" Guy to boot. | |

| Bridge to Terabithia / int_84c5ec0b | comment |
Free-Range Children: Deconstructed. Because of the setting and time period, the kids can spend as much time as they like outside, provided they're home for dinner before the sun goes down. While Leslie comments that this means they have the freedom to create their own fun without any adults interfering or looking the other way when a bully is around, it also means there are some cases where the adults arrive too late to deal with a real emergency. Mr. Aarons in the film has a guilty look on his face when he tells Jesse that the adults knew the whole time about Jesse and Leslie using the rope to get across the river, and it's implied he blames himself for not replacing it or putting a sturdier crossing. If an adult had interfered, Leslie wouldn't have drowned. | |

Reality Is Unrealistic | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_85557b38 | comment |
Reality Is Unrealistic: The real-life inspiration for Leslie was Katherine Paterson's son's childhood friend, Lisa Hill, who was killed by a lightning strike on a sunny day while climbing some rocks on a beach. The author originally intended to finish off Leslie the same way but ultimately changed it to a drowning because her editor felt it would be more believable. Probably right, but ironic. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Jesse and Leslie play a mean prank on Janice to get back at her for stealing May Belle's Twinkies, writing a fake love letter to make her look like a fool. Later, they find her crying in the girl's room, and assume that it must be about their prank. It isn't; it's because she has an abusive father, and when she confided about it to her friends, they told the entire school. When Jesse gets back from the museum, we (and in the book, he) expects he's going to get in trouble for going to the museum without permission. (In the book, he knew full well his mother was half-asleep.) The truth is far worse. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: After getting antagonised by Janice on the bus, Leslie almost mockingly waves goodbye to her as it drives away, leaving the bully momentarily confused. This foreshadows that Leslie will befriend Janice and bring about her Heel–Face Turn. There was a scene in the film where the camera focuses on Jesse's arm becoming robotic and Jesse punching a Squoager. Near the last half of the film, Jesse confronts the Squoager's real life counterpart and punches him. Complete with the camera focusing on the arm, as if Jesse was pretending that it would become robotic. There's also lots of shots of the water rising and the rope close to breaking. Jesse even warns Leslie to be careful about the rope because it's been around for longer than the Aarons have lived in the house. Leslie's essay is entitled "Self-contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus", depicts her fictional life as a scuba-diver, and the last few lines talk about how wonderful life is because of how short it is. All foreshadowing her untimely death, as if she knew the whole time. If you listen closely while Jesse is looking around at the funeral after Leslie's dad talks to him, Leslie's dad tells Jesse's parents that he and his wife are moving back to their old home to put Leslie to rest. When Jesse and Leslie talk about what their parents do for a living, Leslie asks Jesse in response to him saying that it makes sense that her parents are writers that if he's good at hardware because his dad works at a hardware store. Jesse answers no, but the end of the movie where he constructs a literal bridge to Terabithia proves otherwise. | |

Parting-Words Regret | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_aa79bac | comment |
Parting-Words Regret: In the movie, it's implied that this is why Mr. Aarons goes easier on Jesse after Leslie dies, along with the tragedy of the situation. Mr. Aarons's last big interaction with Jesse was yelling at him for misplacing the keys to the greenhouse and saying he couldn't draw "damn money". It turns out it wasn't even Jesse's fault; May Belle was the one who took the keys and gave them to Leslie to use for Terabithian window chimes, not knowing any better. Once Jesse got the keys back, he sullenly returned them to his dad without saying a word, refusing to put the blame on May Belle. His dad noticeably looks guilty after Leslie dies, since the family was worried that Jesse had died as well. | |

Setting Update: Instead of the 1970s (when the book was published), the movie takes place in the then-present day of the mid-2000s. This doesn't really affect anything other than the fashion, the updated values, the presence of electronics (the Aarons are too poor to afford anything electronic beyond a small television and a landline; Mrs. Myers has a ban on electronics; and two kids are seen hiding their gaming devices — presumably Game Boys — and will be given detention for plagiarizing off the Internet). | |

My Greatest Second Chance | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_b4696332 | comment |
My Greatest Second Chance: Jesse blames himself for not being there when Leslie fell, because he was at the art museum with his teacher and admits he didn't want her to join him. When May Belle gets trapped on a fallen log, Jesse is scared about her falling into the river the way Leslie did. He quickly pulls her to safety, and is relieved she wasn't hurt. This convinces him to introduce May Belle to Terabithia. | |

If it weren't for the technology, the film could be set at almost any time between 1977 and 2007. | |

It's subverted later on, as her father Bill says that they had moved into Lark Creek for Leslie's sake — after she dies, they move out again. | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: Ms. Edmunds references the Japanese myth of the sun (Amaterasu) hiding in a cave. The name "Terabithia" derives from "Terabinthia", a location in the Narnia series. In the book, Leslie explicitly compares their hidden kingdom to Narnia, even giving Jesse some of the novels and telling him to read them. | |

Five Stages of Grief | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_c7e7529c | comment |
Five Stages of Grief: Jesse suffers these in alternating waves after Leslie dies in a very realistic sense. First there's denial, in the book because he knows Leslie is a good swimmer. Then he runs out in anger and kicks his wardrobe before going to bed. For a long time he talks as if Leslie is alive which doubles as bargaining, and lashes out at May Belle for following him across the log in the movie; in the book he's more relieved she's okay. He only breaks down into depression when his emotions catch up to him in the woods, as does his father and finally comes to accept what happens. | |

Write Who You Know | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_df9eda66 | comment |
Write Who You Know: An in-universe example from the 2007 film. Jesse and Leslie base the creatures and inhabitants of their imaginary world on people they know. In particular, the Squoagers and Hairy Vultures are monsters based off the bullies Scott Hoager and Gary Fulcher and even resemble them to a degree. The troll is based off Janice Avery, and does a Heel–Face Turn after Leslie comforts her, while the Dark Master is based off Jesse's father, and disappears at the end, when the two of them finally understand one another. The wish fulfillment of this helps them both — but Jesse in particular — to grow stronger in Real Life as well. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
| Bridge to Terabithia / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Jesse's family is rather hard on him, with his older sisters often teasing him and his parents being distant. When Leslie dies, and they realize Jesse doesn't know, they all noticeably lighten up on him. Mrs. Aarons makes Jesse pancakes and gives him seconds, and his older sisters give him space to grieve. Most notably, Mr. Aarons stops being so aloof and comforts Jesse directly. He spends the rest of the story doing Jesse's chores, not punishing him for hitting May Belle in a fit of anger, and giving him a Cooldown Hug when his son has a breakdown in the woods. In the film, Mr. and Mrs. Aarons tell Jesse he needs to help out more with the chores after his dad needs to take more shifts. Normally, Jesse would fuss about this. Instead, he smiles and quotes what Leslie's parents said while they painted the living room. This baffles his mother and father. | |
