Unfortunately, it appears that no movie titled "Tuck Everlasting" was released in 1981. However, I can provide a brief overview of the novel upon which the 2002 film of the same name was based. "Tuck Everlasting" is a beloved children's novel written by Natalie Babbitt and published in 1975. The story follows the life of a young girl named Winnie Foster, who longs for adventure and escapism from her sheltered, privileged life. One day, she discovers a group of mysterious strangers camping in the forest near her home, including a boy named Jesse Tuck. Against his family's wishes, Jesse reveals that they possess a secret that has kept them alive for over a century: they drank from a magical spring that granted them eternal life. However, this immortality comes with a heavy price, and the Tucks have become outcasts as a result.

As Winnie becomes more involved with the Tucks, she learns the complexities and consequences of immortality, as well as the responsibility that comes with it. The novel addresses themes of morality, the cycle of life and death, and the beauty and tragedy of aging. Ultimately, Winnie must decide whether to join the Tucks in their immortal life or return to her own mortal existence.

The novel has been adapted into several adaptations over the years, including a stage musical and a feature film in 2002, which starred Alexis Bledel and Jonathan Jackson. While it has faced some controversy for its portrayal of immortality and death, "Tuck Everlasting" remains a classic work of children's literature that continues to captivate readers of all ages.
