I was scrolling through Disney+ recently, and I happened across a film that had long lingered in my memory as a particularly devastating watch: "Bridge to Terabithia." I don't recall ever revisiting it since seeing it as a kid in 2007 (nor was I familiar with the book it's based on), but I immediately recalled the emotions that I felt while watching it back then. As such, I couldn't help but wonder whether it would hit the same way all these years later.
I may have watched "Bridge to Terabithia" the first time through uncritical, 10-year-old eyes, but post-viewing, I'm happy to report that I'm still very fond of this fantasy film, and that it's still just as powerful as it once was. I'd be more than happy to recommend it if you're struggling to find something on the streaming service — with one caveat. If you're not prepared to bawl your eyes out, you might want to look elsewhere.
