With apologies to Woodie Guthrie for the subject line.
I watched "Bridge to Terabithia" Sunday night. I liked the movie overall. The children playing the leads were good picks, the ending wasn't candy coated, and the imaginary world was portrayed in a really creative fashion. My one bone of contention? The soundtrack was dreadful (but that's just my opinion). Some of the scenes were just begging for a Danny Elfman-esque waltz and instead there seemed to be an overabundance of top 40's sounding ditties. It's a minor quibble, but it detracted in some of the scenes.
And tt's been eons since reading the novel, so I did a little digging to see if there were illustrations that accompanied the novel. There's a few here.

Since seeing Susan's link to the amazing Madame Tutli Putli I've been really curious about what else is out there for stop motion animation.
Over at StopMoShorts I found Susie Templeton's work - wow! Here's a link to her version of "Peter & The Wolf".
