This is by far one of the saddest movies ever. It makes you cherish the good times. Sadly a lot of my friends are gone now. I think back to the good days and I am grateful.
Similar circumstances? In real life the friend was struck by lightning, the author basically said the real life circumstance ironically seemed too unrealistic so she came up with the scenario in the book/movie
I can't imagine what Leslie's dad was going through. The pain of losing a child has to be the worst thing ever. All parents have that belief that they should die first and not their kids
@MooreNotLessReactions This is the side of Disney I love and miss with all my heart. Disney used to have just enough of an edge to fun and thoughtful with a hint of mean spiritedness. You really hate the bullies in this movie, but they still have a purpose. Now Disney is all about pushing their political agendas instead of telling good, fun, and imaginative stories like this.
@salvadormartinez8577 Okay, maybe you're right, so let's be fair and give Disney the BOTD. Ground rules: Pixar films do not count they belong in their own category. Prequels, sequels, remakes, and franchise films (MCU, Star Wars, etc.) are disqualified. How many films are there that Disney released in the past 14 years (2010 - 2024) are considered original, bold, and creative?
Of all the sad movies, this is one that just blindsides you. The first time I'm just sitting there stunned like "Are you actually gonna kill a kid?" Apparently this one knows no bounds. I could tell you weren't prepared. Was great to rewatch with you guys!
There was a time in the late 2000s that i would always watch this when i got home from work. It never failed to make me feel. Even now, watching your video, my eyes got red rubbing the tears away. I’m glad you watched it.
@@sidewaysbonobo2107 We act like brother and sister but we are just long time friends who met in a retail store many moons ago and have been troublemakers ever since. 🍿📺
this movie was the first movie i ever cried to, it came out when i was 7 years old and had just lost my grandfather to cancer. cant watch it without crying,no matter how hard i try. thanks for the reation to it :)
The author wrote the book to help her son, David, cope with the loss of his friend who was killed by a lightning strike. She was only 8. David is the producer of this film =) AnnaSophia Robb still acts today. You should definitely look her up and see some of her films and shows =)
This is such a lovely story and yeah it’s heart wrenching literally out of no where. But yeah glad it ends well with his sister and basically keeping her memory alive. Great reaction and can’t wait to see more.
My younger sister passed not long ago, and this film was like all the times I was mean to her as a kid that can't be taken back. Good pick for reaction after that whole slew of horror films.
@@parappasan I am so sorry to hear that! I feel like we all have a moment in life where we regret the things we cannot change, and it’s unfortunately life’s cruelest lesson for us all. Thanks for watching with us!
Discovered your channel from the Sorcerer’s Stone reaction. This was a great rewatch experience with you guys! Emotional, but great lol it’d been a while since I’d seen it. That scene is still such a gut punch out of nowhere. Your dog was killing me 😂 at 3:43 he decides to look himself in the mirror lmao, stylish looking fella Look forward to more of your Harry Potter reactions! If you guys are looking for some suggestions, horror-wise I don’t really watch much lol but I’d say As Above, So Below; Donnie Darko (more psychological thriller), One Missed Call (probably not good I just remember watching it way back lol), and perhaps the 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre just to throw in a classic. Rom-coms for Shawna I’d suggest What If? (also called The F Word in some places, it actually has Daniel Radcliffe in it!), Remember Me (more rom than com but still great), Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (more com than rom but still great), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
I didn't think watching this as a reaction would make me lose it, but I lost Mom a little over 2 years ago now and I thought I was holding it together but ... damn. Great reaction as always, even if this one hurt a bit more than I thought it would.
I dont know if you take recomendstions from the youtube comments but there are 2 films that have had me crying at the pictures; this and 'Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.' If you havent seen that you should definitely do it for the channel

This was such a BEAUTIFULLY TRAGIC MOVIE!!! It's great, just a totally normal movie, everythings fine, then... AnnaSophia Robb JUST FUCKING DIES OUT OF NOWHERE!?!!? That stupid ass fucking rope swing that FROM THE BEGINNING you're probably thinking, "why would you use that rope? IT'S GONNA BREAK!". Then it ACTUALLY BREAKS and SHE FUCKING DIES!?!?! I just really hated the ending, but I understand how powerful it is, with changing everyone's life, and making everything better for everyone. She was such a positive influence on everyone, that when she was gone they were like, "I have to be a better person for HER!". Like his bully, who at the end beats up his OTHER bully, and then sits with him on the bus, in AnnaSophia Robbs seat!!
This book was made into a movie like twice. This newer version is THE better version and I have seen them both. I also remember reading the book... on my own... over the summer... and being completely destroyed by it. I even read the book to my nephews and I reach a certain point and get torn apart by the tragedy. Also, wtf said this was "light-hearted"?!? Like WHO!?
@@andidreyes5323 That’s what I get for assuming based on the one sentence description on Disney plus. I was like “oh this seems like it will be a cute kids movie.” I could NOT have been more wrong 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t like how they had leslie die at the end, they should of just had her get hurt and then go to the hospital and have everyone think she’s not going to wake up but then she does wake up
@@libertyresearch-iu4fy I have not watched the Terminator movies - I may have seen one of the later ones, but I only know some of the pop culture references.
@@Isabella-tu9fb I just felt like we weren’t shown much compassion from the dad to Jessie, like he showed the other kids. So to me I found the news of Leslie’s death coming from someone who didn’t have the “best” relationship with - even though that’s all Jessie wanted - was really crappy, especially because it was just so blunt. I feel like the book probably had a better arc for the dad. We just didn’t get to see that in the film.
I lost a lot of family by the time we covered this book in school, so both the book and the movie were just torture for me. Trivia: "[The author] drew inspiration for the novel from a real event that occurred in August 1974 when her son's friend was struck and killed by lightning." So, it's based on a true story. 🥲
@@wozing Oh I am so sorry to hear this! You can tell this was based on a true story because the story and details felt so authentic. I can only imagine how awful the book was in comparison.
"I'm gonna throw one lighthearted film in"
Oh they don't know...😂
@@starcourtfoodcourt797 Yeah I’m the king of the irony 🤣🤣🤣
That's sweet that the bus driver apologized to Jess about Leslie

I love everything the teacher said. No one should forget about who someone they lost if they don't want to. And everyone should cry if they need to
When he said "I'm gonna throw one lighthearted film in" I was like... 👀👀
@@omin231 more like BROKEN-HEARTED film 🤣
The author wrote this book after her own son suddenly lost his best friend under similar circumstances.

@ Similar as in it was some kind of freak accident, thank you very much.

I love that there's a conversation about "damning people to Hell" in a Disney movie. Back when Disney was bolder and more creative.
@@AwesomepowerJS I agree! I feel like this film does an excellent job discussing religion and death, especially for a children’s film.

It's based on a true story.
yeah my bloody mother got me with this damn movie.
i was in my early 30s home for xmas lunch, "have you seen Bridge to Terabithia?" she says... 😳🤯😥😢🤧
There was a time in the late 2000s that i would always watch this when i got home from work. It never failed to make me feel. Even now, watching your video, my eyes got red rubbing the tears away. I’m glad you watched it.

Awesome reaction. This is one of my favorites and I still cry.
@@tonyjackson6429 Yeah this one was just as rough to edit as it was to watch. 🤪

Watch “because of winne Dixie”
There's a original movie 80s i think never seen it its a television film from Disney lot people say this is superior one

@MooreNotLessReactions Movies are like that in which it doesn't do the same justice as the book doed
Do they know that it was based on a true story?
@@caitlinmalone1448 we did not know it was based on a True Story. We only knew that it was a book prior to the movie.
