Bridge to Terabithia
Every time I see the trailer for the new movie, a little bit of my childhood dies.
Come on, people, Bridge to Terabithia isn't some fantasy novel about two kids trying to save some mystical world from evil or whatever. It isn't The Chronicles of Narnia. In fact, even though it's been a while since I've read the book, I don't remember the book focusing all that much on what Jesse and Leslie did in their made-up kingdom of Terebithia (which was just that, made-up). I certainly can't remember much, other than they made themselves king and queen and I think the dog was the prince. The book focused a lot more on what happened in the "real" world and the friendship between Jesse and Leslie.
*sigh* I can't imagine a movie adaptation less faithful to book canon based on the way it is presented in the trailer. Maybe I'm wrong, and the trailer is just amazingly misleading, but... I don't think so.
