Editorial Review:
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

Rating:  - When You Wish Upon A Star
Disney has released some good movies the last few years but nothing can beat the movies they released 20 to 30 years ago. I love the older movies and really enjoyed this one as a child as well as after I became an adult. The special effects are pretty good too considering the era in which the movie was made.
Rating: - Great Gift
I bought this a as a gift for my sister in law and she absolutely loved it!
Rating: - Sure to make you glad of your Irish heritage
Long ago, back in old Ireland, there lived a caretaker named Darby O'Gill (played by Albert Sharpe), who had many tales of his encounters with the king of the Leprechauns. But who could have known that they were not made up? And when Darby's replacement shows up (played by a young Sean Connery), it throws everything into an uproar. But never sell Darby O'Gill short, nor King Brian.
This is an excellent Disney movie that dates back to 1959. It's a lot of fun, sure to make you glad of ... Read More
Rating: - Really great movie especially during St. Patricks Day
Fun movie. It's an older Disney movie but still had fun special effects and a really young Sean Connery (007) who I had never seen in this type of role. My kids have watched it at least 50 times since we bought it so it was money well spent. There's little people, singing, scary banshees, and pots of gold. Especially fun durning St. Patty Day.
Rating: - Excellent image quality, charming special effects.
First of all, it must be said that unlike the videotape version, which is blurry and almost unwatchable, the DVD version is crystal clear and is as sharp any contemporary television program.
The story is excellent for kids. There is the contrast between good and evil, namely, a sneaky brute who likes to pick fights, versus Sean Connery, who is honest and charming.
Fantasy scenes abound, for example we see a leprechaun being changed into a rabbit. We see mountainsides spontaneously ... Read More
