Day 22: favorite documentary
I Captured the King of the Leprechaunts (1959)
Walt Disney, Pat O'Brian, Albert Sharpe, Janet Munro and Shaun Connery
Disney in person travels to Ireland in order to recruit the king of the leprecaunts for his next movie: Darby O'Guill and the Little People.
This is a very interesting story through Irland's famous legends and folklore. I was a little girl when this program came to national TV in the late 60s and it was my favorite documentary for many years to come. Without taking the magic away, Disney and Pat O'Brian explained the myths that make Ireland a land of magic and mystery.
