35 - Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
Manage episode 310675772 series 3068029
What would you do if you lived forever? Would you even want to? Disney found a way to make it look enticing - once again giving us unrealistic expectations about life. Check out our predictions of how we die and what we would do if we had all the time in the world. Alexis Bledel is perfect for this role, a wild Victor Garber appears and we remember our younger selves oogling a discount Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
