Bridge to Terabithia is a movie that is not short on emotion. It is the story of a boy that longs for the attention of his father, and a new girl in school with an imagination that stretches beyond many. The girl’s name is Leslie Burke, portrayed more than adequately by AnnaSophia Robb. She’s the daughter of a couple of writers, and shares in their knack for creativity. The boy is Jesse Aarons. He has some trouble with some of the kids at school, and doesn’t seem to have any friends. Until Leslie came to town, he seemed to find the solace of friendship within the characters that he created through drawings and artwork.
