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!|Production on the 1959 film began in the mid-1940s when Walt Disney discovered H. T. Kavanagh’s “Darby O’Gill” stories and in 1946, sent artists to Ireland for background material.|Sean Connery appears in the film — in a singing role –three years before he became famous as James Bond.|Leprechaun means little body in Gaelic, and according to legend, they are 21 inches tall, usually dressed in grass green, 5,000 years old, and immeasurably wealthy.|The film contains one of the scariest scenes ever to appear in a Disney movie â the wail of the hideous Banshee and the arrival of death coach Costa Bower.|With the aid of lavish matte shots, the film was shot entirely in California.
