I find it hard to believe you can't always find this movie running on St. Patty's Day! I finally bought it on DVD and can't believe how many people have not seen this flick. Sean Connery is so young and the scenery, songs and effects are so good for the time it still makes me smile and laugh out loud. Of course the characters are classic Disney and the lessons are as relevant and timeless as this movie. We're already planning a screening as part of the St. Patrick's Day events. I really want to watch it tonight, but I'll wait. I'm just about 58 years old now and I'll watch this flick every year as long as I can. Top O the Day to you now!!!

I have to admit that I watched this (in re-runs) as a child. It was one of my favorite movies growing up. I just saw it again on cable and could not believe it.......crazy how these type of movies are still worth watching. I actually decided to record it on my DVR so I could see if my kids have any reaction to it (good or bad). Just goes to show there was a time when movies actually made a positive impact on children's lives. Everything I have seen in the last 30 yrs has not stuck with me like movies from this era. Anyway, if you want a good movie night with your kids (without having to worry about some scene popping up that is just NOT cool)......run with this film and it should be at least a good time.Cheers,

Such movies enhanced imagination, was six then, now 53!!! WOW!!! the name never left me like Walt's Bambi. :) but then, we do have many new ones, latest ones are also very good, they have got better machines to do the graphics and visual effects, however, making in those days when there was so much limitations to production and Fox effects, it enchanted a person with a grand imagination. Treasure Island was one of the wonderful ones, journey to the center of the earth was another which amazed and the list goes on and on, the classics were also made films but without belittling today, excellent cartoons are made today, the colors were amazing. Hope so the art continues to give audience wonderful thoughts. Thanks.

An extremely charming fantasy from Disney with accents straight out of an Irish Spring commercial. Darby O'Gill, teller of tall tales, captures the king of the leprechauns and hopes to get his pot'o'gold. The cast of character actors are a delight to watch -- Albert Sharpe as Darby, Jimmy O'Dea as the leprechaun, Estelle Winwood, Kieron Moore, Walter Fitzgerald and Denis O'Dea. Sean Connery and Janet Munro ("The Crawling Eye") are the romantic leads. The ending, complete with scary banshees and a death coach, approaches the death of Bambi's mother on the childhood-traumameter, and will possibly leave adults and kids alike teary-eyed.
