Editorial Review:
Take a wee bit of ancient folklore, mix in some spectacular special effects and a magical cast (including Sean Connery) -- and you've got one of the most enchanting fantasies of all time! A frisky old storyteller named Darby O'Gill is desperately seeking the proverbial pot of gold. There's just one tiny thing standing in his way: a 21-inch leprechaun named King Brian. In order to get the gold, Darby must match his wits against the shrewd little trickster -- which proves no small task, indeed! Fall under the spell of DARBY O'GILL AND THE LITTLE PEOPLE for a fun-filled evening of magic, mirth, and nonstop shenanigans!
Description of Darby O'Gill and the Little People:
Purportedly one of Walt Disney's most personal pet projects, Darby O'Gill shows the effort and care put into it. Even now the special effects hold up shockingly well. Darby O'Gill is an estate caretaker, but in his advanced years he's more fond of telling tall tales in the local pub about the wee folk than keeping the grounds. A new man (a very youthful Sean Connery) is sent in to take his place, and O'Gill doesn't know what will become of himself and his daughter. He snags three spectacular opportunities, however, when he catches the king of the leprechauns. This film is whimsical without being silly, supernatural without being outlandish, and all and all a treat for the whole family. --Keith Simanton

Walt Disney's Darby O'Gill and the Little People is a Hit with 14-Month Old Angela Kate
2009-08-28 - Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2Y0TIYKTEI8J3 Darby O'Gill and the Little People has a musical dance scene that is incredible, and the special effects and photographic techniques to film, for 1959, are very good. This little 14-month girl has become mesmerized by the whole movie and loves dancing to the scene where the great Albert Sharpe plays the Fox Chase for the Leprchauns. What fun she has and it is really good music and a fun scene. Great movie all the way around with a young Sean Connery a number of years before the 007 days changed his life. He was a young actor on loan to Disney from Fox and he still gets comments today about the movie from people who saw it as a kid and now show to their kids on DVD. I never saw the movie before, or ever heard of it for that matter, but got it for our own Leprechaun and I'm glad I did, as my Father would say, "That is a good flick."
