Latham Gaines & James Gaylyn in "Bridge to Terabithia" (2007)

It's a Dino Thunder villains reunion in the 2007 film "Bridge to Terabithia," based on the book by Katherine Paterson. Given that this is a Disney film shot in New Zealand, it's no surprise that PR alums appear. Latham Gaines (Mesogog/Dr. Anton Mercer, Dino Thunder) appears in the film as Bill Burke, father to Leslie, the movie's heroine. Gaines appeared in several scenes of the film, where he interacts with the film's stars. Joining Gaines amongst the cast is James Gaylyn (voice of Zeltrax, Dino Thunder). Gaylyn appears in one scene as Principal Turner, who introduces Leslie to her classmates. Some of the Latham Gaines screencaps include some logical spoilers, so beware if you haven't seen the film or read the novel.
