Is Bridge to Terabithia safe for children?

Jesse Aarons trained all summer to become the fastest runner in school. So he's very upset when newcomer Leslie Burke outruns him and everyone else. Despite this and other differences including that she's rich, he's poor, she's a city girl, and he's a country boy the two become fast friends. Together they create Terabithia, a land of monsters, trolls, ogres, and giants where they rule as king and queen.

This live-action film has a calm, character-driven narrative with natural pacing, though it's better suited for older toddlers and preschoolers rather than infants due to some emotional intensity in the storyline.
