What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the novella by Katherine Paterson, "Bridge to Terabithia" (1977).
- The role of Leslie was originally offered to Dakota Fanning.
- The television series that Jess and her sisters constantly watch is “Hannah Montana,” also produced by Disney. The song “I Learned from You” from the soundtrack of the first season of this series also appears in the film and is included in its soundtrack. In the series, it is performed by Miley Cyrus and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, while the version in the film is performed solely by Miley Cyrus.
- In the scene where Jess and her father are playing with a toy car, the radio plays “You’ve Got to Keep Your Mind Wide Open” performed by AnnaSophia Robb.
- The animal trapped in the greenhouse is a common opossum, or brushtail possum, an Australian marsupial that has become established in New Zealand, where the film was shot, and is not found in North America.
- This is the last film by cinematographer Michael Chapman.
- The story in Katherine Paterson's novel takes place in 1977. In the film, it has been moved thirty years forward, to the present day.
- The word "Terabithia" sounds very similar to the name of the island Terabinthia in The Chronicles of Narnia. The author does not deny intentionally allowing this coincidence. However, the similarities do not end there – the film was shot in New Zealand, where the film adaptation of “The Chronicles of Narnia” was also created, and WETA, the company responsible for the visual aspects of “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Chronicles of Narnia,” worked on the special effects.
- AnnaSophia Robb's single "Keep Your Mind Wide Open," from the film's soundtrack, ranked 90th on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a week.
- During casting, the director initially considered AnnaSophia Robb too attractive for the role. However, during the audition, the girl demonstrated a deep understanding of the character Leslie and received the role.
- David Paterson wrote the screenplay and was one of the film's producers. The novel "Bridge to Terabithia" was written by his mother, Katherine Paterson, and his name is mentioned on the first page, where it is indicated that the book is dedicated to David Paterson and Lisa Hill. The story written by Katherine Paterson is based on the real friendship between her son David and Lisa Hill, who died from a lightning strike when they were eight years old.
- In the first scene, before Leslie (Anna-Sophia Robb) appears in her new class for the first time, someone rewrites the inscription "Mrs. Myers" three times on the blackboard.
