I first saw this film when I was 6 years old and it stayed with me since then.
The special effects are so good that I REALLY believed that the "little people" existed.
(I also love Walt Disney's acknowledgement in the credits, thanking the "wee folk" for their cooperation in making the film).
I still watch the film (usually around St.Patrick's day) and after 43 years it still delights me.
The story is short sweet and to the point, the acting wonderful, especially Albert Sharpe, Janet Munro and a very young Sean Connery(who sings very nicely), and Robert Stevenson's' direction is right on the money.
The later scenes, with the death carriage and the banshees scared me silly as a child and are still quite creepy.
This is a film that holds up extraordinarily well and is terrific for family viewing.
I look forward to its eventual release on DVD.

I remember watching that over and over when I was little. Even though that Coach of Death scared the crap out of me every time! Go figure! I loved the rest of the movie, but would hide my face in the coach pillows during that part.
They don't make movies like that anymore. Which is probably a good thing, because today's kids are so spoiled when it comes to the cinema and have an opinion about everything, rather than just sitting back and enjoying a story.
Oh, well, my two cents.

He screamed in affliction till his vocal cords have been shrink, and he then would desire to in basic terms make a gurgling sound. It substitute into additionally extremely bloody. i'm usually no longer very squeamish, yet I merely could no longer watch the entire ingredient, and that i've got no longer appeared at an identical video considering. in reality, for a protracted time, i myself needed I hadn't considered this one in any respect.

Yes, I really liked this film when I was younger. Haven't seen it in ages though.
I'm sure I saw something recently that said that it was this film that pioneered the 'forced perspective' technique.
I'll need to add it to my dvd rental queue now that you've reminded me of it!
