Darby O'Gill and the Little People - WTF fiddle scene

[@heranmouada9864]

Magic, excitement, music, action, fantasy, thrills, and adventure. What an entertainment with King Brian and all the other leprechauns dancing to the music of the fiddle played by Darby O'Gill, the frisky old storyteller. The fun goes on forever and ever and it never gets old. I love the song. It's also for people of all ages, young and old. You're never too old to be young.

Why this film wasn't even nominated for Best Visual Effects is fucking amazing.

Interestingly enough though, when this movie was about to debut in Ireland, a few politicians there wanted to prohibit screenings. They felt that it was offensive and stereotypical.

I love this film. I used to watch all the time when I was little and reminds me of my childhood spent with my grandfather. That Banshee still scares me 25 years later! You can tell that our folklore was researched and the seanchai were consulted. Unlike some atrocious films such as 'Leap Year'.

[@TheHessian123]

Or the Leprecaughn horror movies.

[@KittyStarlight]

The movie wasn't actually based directly on folklore. It was based on the Darby O'Gill Stories (which are from an old book which I've never read). Disney obviously got every bit as bewitched and enchanted and fascinated with the book as I am with the movie. ☘️ I think he did also do a fair amount of research, however. (Somewhat mentioned in "I Captured the King of the Leprechauns" which appears as an extra on the DVD and which also appeared for many years on the Disney Channel 'round about this time of year.)

[@KrimzonFlygon1]

According to the lore of the movie, the Leprechauns were angels who didn’t get involved in the war in Heaven because they were too scared. They didn’t get sent to Hell with Lucifer because they didn’t fight for him, but God kicked them down to Earth to punish them because they didn’t help Him either.

[@BJDJMusic]

[@russellstorm4224]

Same with me

[@90geekgirl06]

King Brian's put the Come Hither on Darby, and Darby essentially is a prisoner of the Leprechauns. But Darby knows a Leprechaun cannot resist booze, dancing, and hunting. By playing a song, he gets them to dance away any suspicions they may have had of him trying to escape their kingdom, and by playing a song about a hunt, they decide to go for a hunt. It all makes sense if you watch the movie all the way through.

[@samsmith2635]

[@Redeadwalker13]

In the day of CGI this scene may not seem impressive, but these are astounding visual effects! And... the scene makes perfect sense; Darby gets the leprechauns so caught up in the merriment that he is able to escape.

This is a classic. The affects, the music, the acting, it’s a shame that the “new” versions on dvd are dubbed because of the Gaelic accent of Sharpe and O’Dea, as well as the rest of the Leprechaun actors. As Darby said the three things that the little people were fond of was dancing, whiskey, and hunting, there are three things that still scare this grown adult, the Death Coach, The Banshee, and the theme music to Unsolved Mysteries.

[@lynnelimehouse9128]

I wondered why they dubbed it when I watched this on Disney plus. Why would their Gaelic matter though that they needed to dub it?

[@Cokehead_Drug_Addict_Zelensky]

Do what??? I guess there are probably still some laserdisc versions floating around out there with the original Gaelic accent but that sucks that they would dub this classic like that.
