Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1Audience Rating: G (General Audience) Binding: DVD EAN: 0786936233599 Format: Color, DVD-Video, NTSC Label: Walt Disney Video Languages: Manufacturer: Walt Disney Video MPN: D33570D Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Walt Disney Video Region Code: 1 Release Date: August 03, 2004 Running Time: 91 minutes Studio: Walt Disney Video Theatrical Release Date: June 26, 1959 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 Description: 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! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - DisappointedI was delighted when the DVD arrived but, very disappointed when I realised that I would not be able to view it on my Aussie TV because it was not the correct format for Australia :( Regards, Miss Terry O'Connor Rating:  - back to my childhoodFirst seen when Sean Conery and I were both a lot younger. A great fantasy of celtic culture and music - a movie all the family can watch. Rating: - Darby....Cute classic from Disney. It is very entertaining for those of us raised on these movies. I doubt it would be interesting to teens of today though. It is good and clean. I can recommend it for the whole family. Darby is full of his stories of the little people. After he catches one, all stuff breaks loose. He just has to prove that he hasn't lost his mind and get the right husband for his daughter. Rating: - Not Up To Snuff"Darby O'Gill and the Little People" is given some highly rated reviews here at Amazon.com (which is why I bought it) but it misses the mark, I think, when it comes to being the type of movie we want to watch again and again. Darby O'Gill is the name of an old Irish man who is a poor caretaker for a rich man's estate in a small Irish village around the year 1900. Darby and his daughter Katie have lived in the gate house (on the estate) for more than 20 years, but old Darby would rather ...

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. |
