Summary: So-so
Comment: I bought this because it said in great shape. But it has that thick white line of fuzz at the bottom half way through the movie. It might be only the tracking but I couldn't seem to get it to play right.

Summary: Joy Everlasting
Comment: I've seen both this and the remake. This is by far the better. The acting is better, the characterizations more believable, and some of the dialogue I would put in a class with Shakespeare and Lois Bujold. The remake merely has a bigger budget, so the picture quality is better.But it is as a *story* that this movie shines, for we are shown the world through the eyes of a young girl just on the leading edge of her womanhood, thrown into immortal peril, and given both a terrible choice and a great responsibility. Winnie and all the Tucks are brought to vibrant life, and we can empathize with each of them, and the joys and burdens their unwanted gifts bring them.
I mentioned dialogue earlier, and to this day I cannot think about Jesse Tuck's reply to the Sheriff's warning without shivering at just how profound that reply is. For that exchange alone, I would watch this movie again and again.
I hope and pray that THIS edition finally finds its way to DVD, where it, like the Tucks, may live forever.

Summary: Seeking Tuck Everlasting
Comment: I saw this movie many years ago. Like many, I can't find it anywhere unless I pay an outrageous amount for it. Since the new release, I can't get the original out of my mind. This is a movie that needs to be released again(1981).

Summary: Please Please Please Please Bring the Original Tuck back!!
Comment: The new Tuck Everlasting stinks. It has completely lost the "family" spirit that made the 1981 version so special.
It completely leaves out the final line of the original movie, which really gives the watcher the feeling that perhaps living forever isn't really what the average person thinks it's cracked up to be. I really miss the whole story told the first time making the whole story of the "fountain of youth tree" almost believeable. The idea of moving with carnivals makes sense, it sure is a way to stay anonymous. The making of merry-go-round wooden horses in the original Tuck is shorn down to one piece of a scene with John Hurt scraping wood. yuk.All the talk about killing was never in the original movie, "I guess I'll go kill the Huns now. When the original Tucks were getting suspicious they simply moved to stay out of others way, they didn't KILL the people that found them out, except one who wanted to sell the water to rich people. That line I really miss is " Everything changes with time, 'ceptn us"
