Bridge to Terabithia

Mrs. Edmunds, Jess' teacher whom Jess has a crush on, invites him on a trip to a museum. He accepts without telling Leslie, as he wants to spend the day alone with his favorite teacher. When he returns home, he is horrified to learn that Leslie died that morning by drowning in the creek after she tried to cross it and the rope broke. Jess feels guilty for Leslie's death because he didn't invite her to go to the museum with him, but his father consoles him, telling that it was not his fault and that he remembers their friendship to keep her alive. Jess builds a bridge across the creek and invites May Belle, his young sister, to go to Terabithia with him, crowning her as the princess and making her his new game partner.

Bridge to Terabithia mistake picture

Continuity mistake: First day in class, when Hoager "beeps" at Jesse, Mrs. Myers writes two words. The word "verb" is over the word "subject" on the board, in the close-up. After she turns around, in the following shots, the word "predicate" appears, disappears, then reappears and "subject" is written over "verb" now. Additionally, during this scene, all the other writing on the blackboard changes between shots as well. (00:06:15)
