Tuck Everlasting (1981 film)

"Tuck Everlasting" is a 1981 film based on the children's book of the same title by Natalie Babbitt published in 1975.

Story

The story involves the Tucks, a family who drank from a magic spring from The Foster's little forest and became immortal (hence the name "Tuck Everlasting").

In the novel, set in the late 19th century, the protagonist is ten-year-old Winifred Foster. She comes from a well-bred, straitlaced family and becomes lost in the woods one day during an attempt to escape her smothered lifestyle. In the woods, she encounters the Tuck family, a band of immortals due to a spring from which they drank years ago. The novel ultimately puts up an argument for mortality and why it is necessary by using the Tucks as an example.
