Bridge to Terabithia (2007)

Throughout the summer, Jesse Aarons dedicated himself to honing his running skills, aspiring to claim the title of the fastest student in school. His aspirations are dashed, however, when a new student named Leslie Burke effortlessly outpaces him and the entire student body. Despite their contrasting backgrounds – she hails from affluence while he knows the struggles of poverty, she's accustomed to urban life while he thrives in the countryside – a profound friendship blossoms between them. Collaboratively, they craft Terabithia: an imaginative realm teeming with monsters, trolls, ogres, and giants, where they reign as the esteemed monarchs.
