Is anybody here seeing Bride to
Terebithia from Disney and Walden Media ?
My friend Stephanie are seeing it this Friday. 
You know, I was going to make a thread on this and never did. Thanks for
reminding me to write a review ā heheh.
I went to see this picture on opening day
ā Friday ā with my second eldest sister. I was partly curious about the film for its story handling and special
effects, and half-interested to see if any Ratatouille trailers would be shown
during the filmā¦
Well, I must say that I was extremely impressed beyond my
expectations after I walked out of the theater that day. To tell you the truth, I havenāt seen a more
motivating, heart-warming, and delicately crafted film this good since Happy Feet.
It completely blew me away story-wise and character-wise. I was smiling through 90% of the film, and thatās
saying somethingā¦
Please bear in mind that the special effects are few, and that the plot centers
mainly on the friendly relationship between a boy and his tomgirl-ish friend, Leslie. One reason why I love this
movie so much, actually, is because the kids act more like kids and because I could relate so much to both the
girl and boy charactersā¦interests included.
Also bear in mind that there is a rather depressing ending, and
there is some language that is rather strong for young children.
Other than that, I absolutely
loved it. Best movie this year, so far, in my opinion!
And hereās the bonus part: They showed the
Ratatouille teaser trailer before the film!! Sure, itās the same old teaser, but it
did get the most laughs out of the audience. My sister and I were shaking like crazy
from the excitement.
Iām going to see
it, but I wanna read the book first. I love fantasy films, and Iām afraid my novel will rip off of an existing
fantasy story, so Iām making sure to watch/read a lot of them- plus, they rock. It looks awesome- itās a shame
I never heard of it as a child; I wouldāve loved it then.
Oh I am planning on watching this. My brother read the book and said it was a wonderful book.
Sadly, my parents think that a movie about kids in a fantasy world is for kids.
I wasnāt very interested in this movie at first, but with all these positive reviews
popping up all over the place, Iām getting kind of interested. I knew next to nothing about the story before
last weekend, but now it sounds like the kind of movie I would enjoy.
TSS - Do your parents feel the same
way about The Chronicles of Narnia?
I just read the book and asolutely loved it! One of the most
moving books Iāve ever read. However, it looked like in the movie trailer, that they had spruced up the action
and added a bunch of fighting scenes. Terebithia actually played a small part in the book, and nothing (thatās
right: nothing) came alive or fought each other. There were no bizzare creatures or anything. Now Iām not trying
trying to wright a movie bash here, 'cause I havenāt seen it. But what Iām asking is: did they have these
things in the movie? IMO it would be really sad if they did! On the other hand it looked like a good movie and I
plan on seeing sometime. (Maybe on DVD)
Mitch- LOL! I saw a
Ratatouille spot at my showing of [i]Night
at the Museum[/i], and I was like WOW!. Iāve watched the trailer probably 50 times now, but when I
was watching it with everybody else, I felt like I was proud of Pixar. I donāt know, it was just exciting
hearing everyone laugh at the parts I love and whisper and snigger after the trailer was over. 
I donāt
plan on seeing this. It looks good, but not for my taste.
Gasduude - Awesome! The book is usually always better than the eventual film, and
Iām glad that you gave the novel a positive āthumbs upā. Now Iām really looking forward to reading
itā¦when I have the chance.
Off-topic: Puh-ha! I know ā itās pretty
funny. Even though youāve seen the trailer a billion times itās still fun to hear the audience laughing from
the mere hilarity of it. My sister and I acted out all the parts and silently quoted all of Remy and Emileās
lines when they showed the teaser. 
I didnāt get to read the book but I saw the movie last night. It was really good, but
depressing towards the end. But overall good. I just didnāt like how it ended.
But the film reminded me
of me, and I no longer feel like a nutcase! Not that I hallucinate or anything ā¦ <__< heheheh ā¦
FONY - Yeah, it was rather depressing. Iām glad the film did end with a touch of a
pleasurable note, though.
And yep ā this film remind me of myself, as well. Tomboy-ish; drawing; making
up stories; climbing up into treehousesā¦
We read the book in school about 7 years ago so i dont
remember at all what happened. I do remember it was my best friendās fav book at the time, but she has since
grown out of that. I dont plan on seeing it cuz those fantasy type movies arent my kind of thing, but it looks
pretty decent.
i know i read this book, but dont remember whats it about
Well, according to a movie summary, "An 11-year-old
boy has his life changed forever when he befriends the class outsider, a girl. Together they create the world of
Terabithia, an imaginary kingdom filled with giants, trolls and other magical beings."
