Synopsis

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!
