Production for the film began on February 20, 2006, with a budget of $20–25 million. Principal photography for the film was shot in Auckland, New Zealand within 60 days. Film editing took ten weeks, while post-production, music mixing, and visual effects took a few months. The film was finished by November 2006, because the crew "had to rush" to meet the February 16 deadline. The film was directed by Nickelodeon's Rugrats co-creator and former Hanna-Barbera animator Gábor Csupó, who was first recommended for the job by Walden Media President Cary Granat. Although Csupó had never worked on a live-action film before, it "didn't worry Granat in the least". Csupó stated that he was interested in making the film because he "had the ambition to do a live-action film for a long time", but that he "didn't like anything until I read this book". He described the book as "beautiful" and said that it "moved [him]". Bridge to Terabithia was cinematographer Michael Chapman's final film before his retirement. Chapman mentioned in the film's DVD commentary that he retired after shooting this film because he wanted his last film to be a good one; "this is such a beautiful story, and it's exactly the kind of movie I want to do at this time in my life".

A touching fairy tale, which, as I understood, was supposed to make you believe in a miracle and encourage you to dream. But somehow it didn’t work out. I never really liked such cute stories. The film is so sugary that you really want to wash it down with something closer to reality, down to earth 6.5/10
Fantasy is here insofar as. The entire fantasy part is a figment of children’s imagination. The film is more of a drama, although there is probably only one sad moment here, closer to the end. And he was able to knock a tear out of me.
A film from my childhood. In part, their childhood was reminiscent of mine, because it is such games that are much more interesting to play. Fantasy is limitless, and you need to use it while you can, you need to have time to be the King of the Elves. And then a complex reality, as the film shows.
At first it all looked like a typical Disney movie with stereotypical evil parents and the same classmates, but this famous twist in the film left an indelible impression on me. The movie is about growing up, and also about grief and acceptance of loss. Holy shit, I cried again
a movie from my childhood but is funny a little bit how the ending tries to pretend that everything is normal but from this it seems like you only want to cry even more
