Special
Delivery – Tuck Everlasting
Most
people are familiar with the 2002 Disney remake of this film but chances are
that most of the people who watched it have never seen the original film from
1981. Both films are based on Natalie Babbitt's 1975 children's book of the
same title.
The
story revolves around Winnie Foster, a girl from a well-bred, strait-laced, upper-class
family who feels suffocated and longs to make her own choices in life. One day
while she is taking a walk in the woods her father owns she meets Jessie Tuck,
a young man with a secret. Soon they are met by Jessie’s mother and brother; as
they begin to talk they hear Winnie’s mother calling for her. Afraid outsiders
will discover their secret they kidnap Winnie to protect their secret but not
before they run into the man in the yellow suit.
Who
is he and what is his connection with the Tuck family? Find out in the original
1981 version of “Tuck Everlasting.”
