  • May Belle's screams are so annoying :I and she is not even cute

  • what a crap ending

  • This sucks.

  • I think I like the older one :P

  • The newer version shouldn't even be compared to this crap. 1, Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb are amazing at acting, and when they worked together it was just fantastic. 2, there's wayy more emotion in the newer one. 3, God damnit, it just beats the old version, simple as that.

  • for once the newier version is better than the old. usaily its the other way around

  • The 2007 Movie Actors of this Movie Are Way More Better

  • I loved this movie. It always made me feel nostalgic and sad.

  • The new one made me cry though.

  • @Brett34266

    I know right? Me too!

  • Holy shit that was gay.

  • @rainieshane lol right

  • Lol, I see people commenting a lot how this version follows the book more than the new one..... rofl xDDDDDD

    The old one missed the point of the movie - HIM MAKING THE FUCKING BRIDGE xD I mean, that's the point - he made it so nobody else would die trying to reach it.... It's called "Bridge to Terabithia" for a reason *facepalm* lol xD

  • That comment was a complete failure

    The making of the bridge is a metaphor between strengthening the two worlds he lived in. The real world where he was an outcast and nervous, and Terabithia where he was strong and confident.

    The bridge metaphors the coming of those two worlds, so that Jess can bring the lessons he learnt in Terabithia with Leslie into the real world.

    Also, the main theme of the book is "life is short, live it to the fullest."

    The bridge metaphor just ties the themes 2gther

  • Well, I don't agree with you. That's definitely not the theme of the book (it could be a 'sub-theme', but definitely not the theme), and that he definitely builds the bridge in the book for a reason... Either way it was stupid that they expelled it from it.

    Besides, the writer of the book co-operated with the team in the new movie, and her son wrote the script with her help, so it's definitely much closer to what it is supposed to be than this one. End of story.

  • You don't agree with me? It's written right at the end of the book :/

    "Leslie, had taken Jessie as a worker from the cow pastures, and made him into a king of a magical land."

    That IS the main theme of the book. The building of the bridge is the final representation and metaphor.

    Actually, in this movie I believe the bridge is actually naturally created. When a log falls forming a bridge.

    Perhaps it's a even deeper meaning that Leslie is helping Jess slowly pull both worlds together.

  • So we disagree. No point fighting over it, just saying that the newer version is probably closer to writer's idea since she and her son took part in creating the script. =)

  • Yea, the newer one is closer to the book most definitely. I'm just arguing about the metaphorical point of the book.

  • oh i saw this in school the class was dying of laughter

  • This version got little too old le....I prefer the the new version de..

  • this version rocks!!!

    the new one gives u everything...

    but with this one, I really have to use my imagination to see the magical things!!!

  • lol no bridge.

  • I like the forest environment much better in this movie than the 2007 one...but thats all it is too it...

    Actor/actress in 2007 is great (especially ASR)

    the imagining thing does work if we were let to..

    Man, maybe, we could combine both of this movie and the new one...

  • This version doesn't suck because it lacks "a very pretty actress", it sucks because of the acting.

  • I actually like this movie, even though theres no effects but like FLYINGMONKEY4567 said earlier you get to use your imagination and picture it what you think it looks like and imagine what the terabithians look like, sometimes that makes a movie alot more fun to watch, well in my opinion it does.

  • wow the new one wasway better

  • You would have to use a lot of imagination to imagine that there was actually a BRIDGE in this movie

  • agree. I guess most just need shining colors and a very pretty actress to call a movie 'better'.

    though I have to say the new film is nice anyway.

  • The new Bridge Ti terabithia is much more better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i didnt even know there was an old Bridge To Terabithia my parents are older than the film and they dont even know bout it and i watched this and i thought that it ended so sudden i think this shouldve included the Bridge like the knew one but i guess it wouldve been crap anyway

  • EPIC FAIL!!!!

    How do you make a movie about the book a bridge to terabitha....

    AND NOT INCLUDE THE BRIDGE?!?!?!

    Theres nothing, not even a reference to it!

  • terrible

  • Oh wow this sucks.

  • this one is better than 2007.acting sucks,but because there is no graphics,it lets you picture and create your own kingdom,to be whatever you want

  • i had to watch this when i was in 6th grade.

    i like it better than the latest one.

  • I like this one better, because it lets you use your own imagination which is what Terabithia is all about.

  • this in my opinion is the better one!

  • relax, people this was a made for TV movie in 1985...Obviously they did not have the money or the time that they had in 2007...Leslie's character was not supposed to be that damn hot, to begin with....

  • This is so suckish!

  • theres a differnece in the new version he finds her on the log and then jess pushes her on the floor on the old version he doesnt

  • "yesssss the princess of terabithia" said jesse the snake xD 2:32

    i got to agree acting sux but the story of this version is better than the new one.Because they didn't cut most of the scenes from the book unlike the new BTT2007.

    But it doesn't matter, the point is the chicks died, end of story

  • omg...wat the hell...the old ones really sucks....suck really really bad...y leslie is a boy...gay of teribithia is suppose

  • She's not a boy. Read the book, she's supposed to be sorta androgynous looking.

  • lmfao the old one fucking sucks

  • three words- what. the. hell

  • that ending sucks compared to the new one

  • yeah,i've cried too...

    i love how he punch Scott Hoager...

    that scene makes josh looks cool...

  • oohhh my,OMG!!!i've write a wrong comment...

    it must supposed to be in the bridge to terabithia new version....i've watched both video in the same time...sorry..

  • Some thoughts on the old vs. the new:

    1. The acting is MUCH better in the new. I don't think anyone can deny that.

    2. Sorry, but I don't like the "cool" Leslie. Leslie is supposed to be an unpopular tomboy, which is part of what made their relationship special.

    3. I'm glad the new one uses a rope instead of a tree as the bridge. The tree makes no sense.

    4. The new one should have included the "I hate her!" line. That was one of the most poignant parts of the book.

  • i bet in 20 years they'll make another version and the 2007 one will look so fucking bad XD (but i really think it could never happen...)

  • Yeah, I don't think it'd look back but since our movie making skills are getting better, it'd seem better.

  • umm...why do all these people suck at this version? The 2007 version is waaay better because they have better actors/actresses!!!

  • "Can you move a tall?"

    Hahahaha, what is with his accent? XD

  • uaHSHashuashaSHUSA filme velho tbm não tem emoção nenhuma!

  • pfff! it sucks! ¬¬

  • wow..Jess in this movie becomes more positive right away then the one now

  • at 2:32 he sounds like a demented snake...

  • yessssss thats right teehee

    when his older he will make a great snake in harry potter! lol

  • english muffin, triscuits and tea.......oh bloody bad acting boyle

  • they act gd la.its jus old version.

  • this is like a school project movie...

  • i swear if this london boy version of jesse doesnt shut up ima shove an english muffin in his mouth.

  • lmao

  • wtf omg da sucked so much i love da new version way better jesse sound British wtf

  • It really follow the novel. I have a novel of this which has a copyright of 1977. The movie just follow the book. There is nothing wrong with it.

  • Jesse sounds British and their acting is, no offense, bad.

  • i love that movie, but i must agree, josh hutcherson's performance is like 10 times better

  • Flashier effects and a prettier cast don't necessarily make a 'better' movie so long as the story and characters are handled well. I haven't seen the entirety of this version so I'm withholding judgement.

    The newest film was quite good but I did have some problems with how pretty and cool Leslie was (I always viewed her as more of a quirky tomboy), how over the top the CG scenes were and the way they brushed aside the issue of guilt.

    In the end the book will always be my personal favorite :3

  • this versio is bad,verybad.

  • This version sucks, the new ones way better.

  • the new one is so much better. the old version is a piece of s***.

  • Okay, the new version is so much better. And why the hell did they leave out the whole ending? Jess doesn't rescue MayBelle and then go straight into showing her Terabithia. It's supposed to be much longer. And why is everyone so fat in this version? When I saw the little sister I thought she weighed 150. Who would even like this version?

  • Maybe the creators of this version wanted more realistic characters: people with some meat on their bones. Or maybe they wanted actors who could actually act. You decide.

  • Uh, these actors can't act worth shit. Which is why the new one is so much better.

  • this version is SO not good

  • This version sucks. It actually sucks.

    It will never even be 0.1% as brilliant as the new version is. The 2007 one is just so emotional and breathtaking. The acting is great and josh hutcherson and annasophia robb are two of my favourite actors. The newer one is my all time favourite movie ever. I watch it more or less every day <3

  • why can't u see the terabithians? i like how in the new one, u can actually see them.

  • Actually, this one is more like the book. I'm sorry, but it's true.

  • 5morts: Well a) Things were different back when this film was made so... perhaps they couldn't make them?! Effects weren't so good and what not. And b) Believe it or not, there is something in the world called imagination! There's where Terabithia first came from! Jeez.

  • The new version TOTALLY rocks...

  • "I was shaking like jello" That line pretty much lets you know that this version is cheesy! The new version is alot better...Kid actors have come a long way since the 80s

  • You probably won't care but this was added a year ago today.

  • Ya acting was little dull but we cant expect a 2007 style acting from a 1985 low budget movie. The new version has got the hands of Disney over its head.And Disney in all its wisdom likes to spice up things with it creativity edge.. Thats why the new one is so emotional and exciting.

    Anyways thanks to cchase85 for uploading all these old clips. i really love this movie..

  • bwahahahaha

  • i still dont like the fact that Leslie dies...its so sad....no matter which version u watch.....heres this kid who finds sum1 he cares about and then she dies on him..... :(

  • it's leslie's death that made the story SOOOOOOOO wonderful.

  • Well,I Guess Her Death Brought Out The Whole Point Of The Movie,But Still........

  • Yes, it's a tragic tearjerker. Seems like in this version, the protagonist and his family seem more rural in their diction. When the dad in the new one says, 'Where in God's name were you?' kinda reminds me of when he said a similar line in 'Walk The Line.'

  • the actors in the old version look like they are being forced to do it.

  • I love the 2007 movie ...the actors are so much cooler ...

  • You only think that because they are the people and the type of acting you've grown up with. In 1985, this was good.

  • Yes I think your right,

    but

    -Im 19 years old and so Im grown up with exactly those movies.

    PS: it wasnt my plan to yell on the acting skills of the old actors ( I would never be able to act anything like this myself )

    I only like the new movie more, this is just my personal oppinion

  • I prefer the new movie more as well - and I'm 18. But a lot of it's still age and also the developement of new techonology and acting techniques. Just sick of people coming here to slag off the actors when, as you said, the couldn't do it any better.

  • Yes, I totaly agree with you.

    I hate it too when people post lousy comments just to post anything at all.

  • that is actually very true........

  • i have the new one ask if u want it up just tell me

  • Please put the new on youtube.

  • I agree.

    Thank God they made a new one.

    This creeps me out.

  • 2007 one is still better, this one was an alright try though.

  • it may not be as good as the newer movie, but still when Leslie Burke died, it was still sad

  • I wonder how Katherine Paterson reacted to this version. Thank God they made a new one.

  • u cant help but laugh at the crappiness of this version lol

  • I think the acting is just horrible. and "Jess" has a really weird accent! i like the 2007 version *ALOT* better!

  • Oh, my...this just isn't very good...

  • did he call God papa? I prefer "Father" as he said in the book.

  • this one sucks i preffer the remake

  • this ending sucked=P thank god for the remake!

  • dude, the crown's lopsided! and it ends like all other 80's tv stuff. it just freezes at a picture. wtf was that?

  • bence bu iki versiyonda çok güzel

    I like watching old Terabithia and new Terabithia .supeeer

  • When May Belle says "WAS" it was because it was in the book of what she said.

  • i liked the new 1 soo much better than this 1....the acting is horrible &&.. idk i just dont like it....Josh && AnnaSophia did such a better job

  • I don't like this it doesn't matter technology, I cried when leslie dies in the new one, this was like IT-DOESN'T-MAKE-CRY it's so much sad in the 2nd version and 2nd leslie was adorable, I just don't like old leslie, but the doggy is cuter than new one

    lol

  • Oh My Gosh. Im going to be honest this looks like a porady of the new on. Just horrible acting. So i give Annasophia Robb and Josh Hutcherson props

  • this one sucks

  • most people say the older films are better but in this case the second film id definitley better.

  • agree leslie look like a man

  • this is okay i guess

  • the new one is away better,, but the old one's not tht bad. in the new one,, jesse didnt save his sis. he pushed her and then she went back home...??

  • *Laughing hysterically* Wow, that was simply "mind-blowing". I feel shocked! Whooo, that just made my day!

  • The new one was great. But the old one's not that bad when you think of the technology in those days

    Both versions told the same amazing story.

  • ELVIZ ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • bad actting

  • i like to new one

  • The girl who played Leslie Burke's name is Julie Beaulieu if you eant to know. Anyone want to know the boy's name?

  • the new one is way better

  • I agree, the new movie is so much better. I had to read the book febuary last year because it was part of my school curriculum. I mean come on, give the old movie some credit there are no graphics whatsoever and yes the leslie and jessie are different in the old one but in the book they're supposed to look like that AND talk like that. Buut yes, I agree the new movie is better.

  • Haha, 01:40 - 01:42, May Belle actually says '..but I woke up this morning and you WAS gone..'. Lol, WAS gone?

  • where are the terabithians here?

  • there's no terabithians, because the filmakers didn't even TRY to add magic to Terabitha!

  • there's no magic in the book version either. the new one was made for kids to watch it.

  • I know! They just copied the book WORD FOR WORD, this sounds like a monologue!

  • the acting sucks I know this is old but come on the acting is horrible and the ending is crappy she just gets the crown and its over ? wtf

  • i cant stand the goofy sounding 80's voices

  • actually even for the time period this movie sucked! yes the special effects were not near as good as they are now but there were still good actors

  • you lie!

  • in the book jess got mad at his sister and he punched her but in the new movie he pushes her

  • WHAT THE.. older version to the newer one :O bullshit

  • Give this movie a break though, it's an old movie and I bet if we were from that time... 70s 80s around that time you would think this movie was just AMAZING lol. Now today is the time where special effects are presented and where it matters if someone can act haha. I think this movie sucked, yes. I'd rather have read the book... which I"m glad I did. The newer version is fantastic...

  • i didn't even know that there was an old version.

  • lol i knoiw

  • Oh my goodness. I heard that this kid is the son of the evil principal in "Ferris Buller's Day Off".

  • Wait, if this is a MAD TV parody, where are all the laughing tracks?

  • LOL!! acting? just sucks. But like, from those ugly actors as Jesse and Leslie, to Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb? No way!

  • I know janice is a boy with boobs and anna is much prettier than leslie in this one

  • Tnhis sucked. I was reading some reviews for this and one of them said many would prefer the old version over the new one! WTF.

  • My guess is because they changed a lot of things around for the new one, while the old one follows the book WORD FOR WORD. When I first saw the new one, I was a little surprised at how different it was, but that's become one of the things I appreciated about it; while the old one was lazy and uncreative, the new one was imaginative and moving.

  • i know lol

  • wow!!?!?!?! this was horrible!!!! i saw the new movie and its way bettr than the old one!!!!the book wuz even bettr than the old movie!!!

  • lol

  • the new version is sooooo much better! annasophia is hot too! yummy! this old version can kiss my shit

  • oomg. dude this sucked. my teacher used to read the book to us outlud and when i saw the newer version i recognized it and was so happy for some reason. but this just sucked. plain sucked. it aient even cuz it had no special effects. the actors were horrible. simply awful.
