I saw this movie as a small child. My parents taped it for me one evening. Since then and for almost twenty years, I watch every year around St. Patrick's Day. I have been waiting for Disney to re-release the movie so I could purchase it on DVD. It was not available ANYWHERE for the longest time...
This is a movie about an old Irish man named Darby O'Gill and how he spends the last years of his life telling stories in the local pub about the little people. Only a fool would not believe him. Darby lives with his daughter Katie. Darby discovers that Michael MacBride (played by a VERY young Sean Connery) will replace Darby in his position of looking after the the Lord Fitzpatrick's land. King Brian, king of the leprechauns, and Darby out wit each other constantly throughout the film. For if you catch a leprechaun, you get three wishes..."3 wishes I grant you, 3 wishes are small, but if you wish a 4th one you lose them all!" This is a timeless piece you will enjoy.
score 9/10
