Line 8: A major source of [[Nightmare Fuel]] due to the banshee. Possibly also because this is one of, if not the only, times you will ever hear Sean Connery sing on-camera. No, seriously, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTwmjOySDjA see for yourself]. ----▼ ~~=== This movie contains examples of: ===~~ ▲---- * [[Balancing Deaths Books]]: Darby uses his third wish to go in {{spoiler\|his sick daughter's place when Death comes to claim her.}} Ultimately averted though, as {{spoiler\|King Brian tricks Darby into making a fourth wish which negates the previous three wishes, but by that time his daughter has already recovered.}}▼ {{tropelist}} ▲* [[Balancing ~~Deaths~~Death's Books]]: Darby uses his third wish to go in {{spoiler\|his sick daughter's place when Death comes to claim her.}} Ultimately averted though, as {{spoiler\|King Brian tricks Darby into making a fourth wish which negates the previous three wishes, but by that time his daughter has already recovered.}} * [[Christmas Cake]]: Katie gets warnings about becoming one of these if she doesn't settle down soon. * [[Chroma Key]]: Two remarkable examples are the moments where Darby plays "The Fox Chase" on a fiddle to an audience of dancing leprechauns and, most notably, the Banshee sequence. Line 20: * [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Darby makes one {{spoiler\|to save Katie's life. Not that he ends up actually sacrificing his life, though.}} * [[Jerkass]]: Pony Sugrue * [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold]]: King Brian. Yes, he does just about everything he can to trick Darby, but he goes out of his way to be nice to him. He takes Darby into his kingdom with the intention of having him live a light-hearted existence there for the rest of his days and even though Darby ''didn't'' wish for Katie to fall in love with a steady young man, he still tries to get Katie and Michael together because he knows that Darby would want that. Plus, one of the times he ''does'' trick Darby, the trick works in such a way that it works out excellently for Darby. * [[The Kindnapper]]: King Brian. When he hears that Darby has been evicted from the gatehouse, he decides to put the come-hither on Darby so that he can come live in the leprechaun kingdom instead. It's rather nice down there, too, with merriment, riches, and a Stradivarius violin for Darby to play, so it's obvious why King Brian sees it as a favor to Darby. However, King Brian doesn't intend to let Darby leave, and Darby doesn't want to stay down there, either. * [[Leprechaun]] * [[Literal Genie]]: King Brian, any chance he gets. {{spoiler\|Including the climax, when he uses it to save Darby's life.}} * [[Meddling Parents\|Meddling Parent]]: Pony's mother, Sheelah Sugrue * [[Not Even Bothering ~~With~~with the Accent]]: Sean Connery ** [[The Untouchables\|Foreshadowing?]] * [[Not -So -Imaginary Friend]]: King Brian * [[Oireland]] * [[Our Banshees Are Louder]]: The banshee that appeared to warn that {{spoiler\|Katie was about to die. It also summoned the Cóiste-bodhar (Death Coach) to take away her soul to the afterlife}}. Line 34: * [[The Rival]]: King Brian to Darby. * [[Romantic False Lead]]: In the first scene of the film, we see Sheelah Sugrue telling Katie what a good man her son Pony is, but Katie ends up with Michael instead. * [[Take Me Instead!]]: Darby volunteers to take {{spoiler\|Katie's}} place {{spoiler\|in the Death Coach}} * [[Three Wishes]]: "Three wishes I'll grant ye, great wishes an' small! But you wish a fourth and you'll lose them all!" * [[Wishplosion]] Line 40: {{reflist}} [[Category:Films of the 1950s]] [[Category:Darby O Gill And The Little People]]▼ [[Category:Disney]] ▲[[Category:Darby O 'Gill ~~And~~and ~~The~~the Little People]] [[Category:Film]]
