One of the few modern Disney live action films that is not stuffed to the gills with bad covers of songs or overused soundtrack standards.
Close your eyes, but keep your mind wide open to these fun facts.
It was AnnaSophia Robb who came up with the name of the Dark Master. Initially in production, it was referred to as the "Key Monster."
The name "Terabithia" is inspired by an island called Terabinthia in C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia novels.
In the scene where Jess and his father are playing with the set of cars, the song on the radio is "Keep Your Mind Wide Open," which is the song featured in this movie's music video, performed by AnnaSophia Robb.
At the end of shooting, AnnaSophia Robb fought incredibly hard to take home the shoes she wore throughout the film. Instead, she got two pairs of pants.
The Christmas celebration in the book was changed to Jess' birthday for budgetary reasons.
At the time of posting Bridge to Terabithia is not available on Disney+ but you can rent it on Amazon here. Have tissues nearby.
