...I would not give a thraneen for an Irish film industry which was responsible for “Darby O'Gill and the Little People”. I do not want a Darby O'Gill Bill. I want the little people kept far away from the Irish film industry...

Maybe include this quote ? - FrancisTyers 01:23, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: It appears to be just someone's opinion that Irish filmmakers should not make family-friendly fantasy movies. 5Q5 (talk) 15:33, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

GEN. EDIT; ^^^Its a Disney Picture... so that's just an unpopular opinion^^^.. how ignorant... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:7034:5400:A01C:C1A:9840:AB91 (talk) 18:49, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

[edit]

Questionable, unsourced statement — remove? Rlquall 05:45, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"A popular misconception is that the duet, A Pretty Irish Girl, was actually sung by Sean Connery and Janet Munro." - I question this statement as the bonus material included on the disk includes "Mr. Connery goes to Hollywood" in which Connery himself states that he and Janet sang the duet and that it was released on the soundtrack.

I watched this film last night, and whoever's singing sure sounds like Sean Connery. It's certainly an "untrained" voice. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 20:35, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Four Wishes

[edit]

Does anyone here know what the words in the movie were to the little rhyme about trying to make a fourth wish, then having none? Please let me know what the exact words were, if possible. Threyon 13:24, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Three wishes I'll grant you, big wishes or small. But wish your fourth wish and you lose them all" Cable2001 (talk) 14:26, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've got the video, and I'm hearing, "Three wishes I'll grant you, great wishes or small. But you wish a fourth one, and you lose them all!"

Also, when Darby O'Gill recalled the rhyme, he changed the words, "So that's good of you. Three wishes I'll grant you, great wishes and small, but if you wish a fourth, then you get none at all." PatrickLMT (talk) 10:32, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seán Mór and the Little People

[edit]

Just wondering was the film or indeed the books by Kavanagh influenced by the Irish Fairy tale Seán Mór and the Little People. The article cites a meeting by Walt Disney and he Folklore Commission in Ireland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8084:2860:3A80:7D82:3421:2B98:8220 (talk) 14:31, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
