  Review by Boy Roarbison [fka Nag Champion] ★★★★ 5

  Step #1: Get super duper stoned.
  Step #2: Watch 1959's Darby O'Gill and the Little People. [That shit's politically correct, man. Way ahead of its time.]
  Step #3: Trip the light fantastic.
  Step #4: Thank me later and/or apologize for ever doubting me.

  Long live King Brian!

  Review by Leighton Trent ★★★ 2

  Introduced the kiddos to this in honor of Sean Connery. They couldn't have cared less, but man is this a good bit of weird late 50's family fun from Disney, and my gosh was Connery an ungodly kind of handsome with some singing chops to boot.

  RIP Sir Sean. One of the best to do it.

  Review by Travis Lytle ★★★★

  A surprisingly solid bit of Irish-centered fantasy from Disney, Robert Stevenson's "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" combines leprechauns, banshees, and a young Sean Connery for an endearing and enduring piece of work. Revolving around an Irishman whose greed lures him to run afoul of the indigenous and titular leprechauns of the film's village setting, the narrative is a refreshingly layered combination of wish-fulfillment, adventure, romance, and effective chills. The robust story is supported by a production featuring textured designs, evocative faces, and energetic pacing. The film offers a pleasing and satisfyingly engaging experience.

  Review by Lebowskidoo 🍿🛸 ★★★★

  "What kind of man are you at all, who doesn't believe in the little people?"

  Well, fiddle-dee-dee, could this be more Irishy? They went all out and just a wee bit more to make it so.

  Darby O'Gill is the type of man so full of blarney that he would be easy to blow off as having had one too many Guinness servings when he starts spouting off tales of little leprechaun men. But, turns out, he speaks the truth. There's also a mean old banshee to be wary of. Oh, and Sean Connery sings!

  This movie finds the right lane to travel in, not too silly and not silly enough. Helps if you're drinking while watching.

  Review by Jacob Martin (formally known as The Movie King) ★★★½ 3

  Ok, Walt Disney, let me get this straight? A movie that features Sean Connery, the original Bond James Bond, playing a singing Irishman? Seriously, Disney, a singing Sean Connery? That is the creepiest thing I have ever seen in my life! Especially since we all know him for playing the super-cool killer spy all these years!

  But in all honesty, Darby O'Gill and the Little People has a smart and clever story in there that makes up for that creepiness (and his bland role in general). The film is actually about this old Irishman named Darby O'Gill and his relationship with teeny leprechaun men. What follows is a film that full of smart comedic wit and surprisingly a touch of…

  Task #1: Revisit a film you enjoyed in your childhood.

  I've written before about what a strong affect this film had on me "as an eight-year-old among the first films I ever saw in the cinema. It's got Ireland. Leprechauns. Banshees. Sean Connery. What's not to love?" I may have seen it twice when I was young, but I don't think I've watched it again in more than half a century. Let's see how it holds up to my childhood memories of it.

  Things I never forgot:

  What fun this was! Old Darby O'Gill (Albert Sharpe) telling stories of leprechauns in the local pub. O'Gill's pretty daughter Katie (Janet Munro). Lord…

  From my LIST Confessions of a Cinephile 

  1970 October
  My grandfather took me to see this on Halloween.
  Not St Patrick's Day, which you think would have made more 
  sense. A terrifying ghost scene, that had me hiding
  behind my popcorn bucket, explains it all.

  More Here!

  One of Disney's best
  live action family films.
