- Hey guys! Welcome to what was supposed to be the first in a two part St. Patrick's Day project that's late so now it's just a Sunday upload...also I'm Irish all year round so it's fine. :D
Today we're talking about The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns (Night One) because apparently this was a two part event for Hallmark in 1999.
This is a very fun and very weird movie about the rivalry between the fae and leprechauns...there are also other Irish folk figures in it but I forget which ones. I'll post part two soon enough but until then I hope you enjoy this video.
Thanks for watching and hanging out in my little corner of the internet. Stay safe and have a great day/night/unit of time. I'll see you in the next video...bye!
"It's the headless horseman, but he's even more of a goth kid than before." Love it!
He should have gotten way more screentime! I could watch a whole movie about head-tossing jokes! 😜
Tanks Addam for your request, i feel like otherwise there would be no RUclipsrs covering this film. It brings back old memories.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
"I can you see you dripping" is filed in the same category as Buffy Summers saying "Isn’t that bizarre? Aren’t you just going, 'Ooooh….'"
I don't wike it 😭😅
I think the thing with the chick passing out at the sight of leprechauns is simply.. well, as an example.. you can hear about ghosts and believe in them your whole life, but it's an entirely different thing to meet/encounter them.
Even if she was raised in a culture that mentioned leprechauns in folklore, doesn't mean she was ready to actually see them.
wait, the COUSIN of the fairy princess starts brawling the Leprechauns because of their historic rivalry? This is DEFINITELY Romeo and Juliet
It's like the writer was on some substance when pitching to Hallmark:
Writer: Okay, so, it's just a simple story of a greedy businessman moving to a small town to develop it but that all changes when he falls in love with a firecracker of a woman and--
Producer: Perfect, that's all we need--
Writer: But, there's this whole other story of Romeo and Juliet but with Leprechauns and Fairies. AND the Leprechauns can fly but only when they're in love!
Producer: ...uhm, couple of thoughts...
Lol, yes! It's more Romeo and Juliet than 10 things I hate about you was taming of the shrew and that was the whole point of ten things I hate about you 😅
I have been looking for this film for YEARS!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A DREAM. I love it so much, but I couldn't remember the name!! Thank youu😢😢😢
Anytime! It's what I'm here for. 🙂
Eyyyy you did it lol.
Fun fact the Leprechaun mom played madame hooch in the first Harry Potter
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED HER!! Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff here yeah any time! Definitely made my day. All the nostalgia lol
Hah! I knew these series existed. Good to see a nostalgic review on a piece of my childhood. Good old times.
Thank you for watching!
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff Thanks for dedication of your time to it. It is good to know that I wasn't the only one who saw this tale and share same bittersweet nostalgia.
Went looking for a video about this movie, found a hidden gem channel instead!
🥺🥺🥺 thank you so much! Welcome!
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff Such cozy vibes, thanks for having me 😊
Wait a minute Warwick Davis isn't in this.
I miss his presence in this movie as it would have made it that much better. 🙂
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff He makes every leprechaun related thing better simply being there.
Can you do a review of the 90's tv movie of Alice in wonderland or the 10th kingdom
I'll look into that! I never knew it existed. 😅
Oh my gosh, I LOVED the 90s Alice in Wonderland! I would also recommend it.
@@lizan2678 googling it as we speak 😂
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff It has alot of famous people, Gene Wilder, Martin Short, Woopie Goldberg and Gene Wilder sings
@@magicalpasta5462 oooh that sounds wonderful!
Hehe love your personality (: great video.
YES! Thank you for doing this one. I was about to suggest it. This is one of my faves.
I had a lot of fun with this one! And I'll have the video about the second one out soon 🙂
I found your channel a couple weeks ago and I'm having so much fun with your nostalgia comedy here. Way to spread humor in tough times. Now here's a challenge for you: Rigoletto from 1993. Last I saw you could find here on RUclips.
Welcome to the channel! I'm glad you're having fun here, and I'll be sure to check that one out. ☺️
Oh wow, blast from the past! Almost forgot about this leprechaun Romeo & Juliet. I loved watching all these 90s mini series. This one, Merlin, and 10th Kingdom. Highly recommend reviewing 10th Kingdom as well! Modern people portal into the world of classic fairytales. Lots of great drama, humor and romance!
Those sound great! I saw another person recommended 10th kingdom today so I'll make sure to cover that soon. 🙂
I'm not even 2 minutes in and I already thought about 10th Kingdom as well. A movie series I have very conflicted feelings about, while everyone else seems to love it.
@@adrianaheiler9794 I'll have to check it out since I only learned about it from you guys :)
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff everyone is gushing about it, but I've only watched it once, mainly because John Larroquette was in it and I like him (despite all those crappy roles he keeps getting way too often), but I had the same problem with the Wolf character that you had with Jack: I found him massively unlikable. He was just a leering horndog and even as a dog lover/owner I wanted to drag him to a neutering appointment SO bad!!! 🥚🥚✂️
And I probably would have liked the trolls more if they were just puppets instead of looking like one of Jim Henson's creations mated with Al Bundy (that actor who plays him is one of the trolls and they all look so gummy and weird).
@@adrianaheiler9794 I love your vivid description haha I will check that out 😅
I saw a leprechaun movie when I was a kid (about late 80s) that has haunted me forever. All I really remember is kids going with the leprechaun/s, traveling on a huge rainbow slide, and the end of the slide landed them in this big pool of milk or like liquid marshmallow. Traumatizing apparently. I wish I knew what the hell it was.
That does sound horrible 😳
Eww what, that's so specific yet so awful
I thought Jack was fine as a character lol I bought the DVD.
Whatever Noah's doing? You mean building a giant arc, rallying up two of every animal (one boy and one girl), gathering his wife, his kids, and their wives, and riding out the inevitable 40-day-and-40-night megaflood apocalypse, when just earlier he was just living a happy life on the farm with his family??
Yeah basically 🙃
This video is so entertaining
Thank you!
proposed Ship name for Jessica and Mickey:
Jessey (like Jessie)
Love this movie, thanks for reviewing it! Can you possibly post the scene where Mickey and Jessica meet The Grand Banshee? I want to check something about the scene with the door guards. If you can, thanks!
Thanks for watching! I don't post scenes straight up for copyright reasons but I may be able to direct you to somewhere to see the scene.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff Thanks - I actually was able to find it eventually ... Really enjoyed your analysis, my family loved this! We still drop lines, like "the PL- word", and "everything is better with butter ... " lol
@@rajohnson8170 thank you! This really was a fun pair of videos to do! It's so cheesy but sometimes those are my favorite movies.
8:04
Amo esas alas..😳
Yeah I've never seen this either. One of the rarities of looking for obscure stuff is The Adventures of Candy Claus from 1987. This tv special (that i think is split 2 parts maybe more?) was made oh boy Yoram Gross Studios aka now known as Flying Bark Productions yeah that one again, much like some of earlier works, only 2 voice actors (one of which is the voice of Blinky Bill from the 90s). I think the Flying Bark Productions, Jonathan M. Shiff Productions & Australian Children's Television Foundation playlists was some of my fav created playlists i've made on my channel. Most of the other Aussie tv/movie productions, even some animation studios idk too much about, but they are some i know more.
FilmRise has a lot of these late 90’s-early Hallmark tv films for free streaming. Definitely do The Odyssey, 10th Kingdom, Merlin, The Snow Queen. Most of them were big events on NBC Sunday night
Wow, someone of this year is talking about this? Im gonna need to sit down lol
Haha, we like to go old school on this channel 😂
Wait, where can we eat h this. I was obsessed with this as a kid
Pluto tv!
If you're doing hallmark stuff I'd love to see you cover Hallmarks Timeless Tales. It's hosted by Olivia Newton John. I had them recorded on a vhs at my grandmas house.
I've never seen those but I've been wanting to cover something to pay tribute to Olivia so I'll have to figure out where I can work that in. 💛
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff they're really cute but then again I haven't watched them in years so it might be worse that then I remember
I REMEMBER THIS I REMEMBER THIS I REMEMBER THIS! It's like Romeo and Juliet with leprechauns and a surprising amount of Star Trek actors, right? For some reason I would watch the Dulahan scene over and over again! Also... wow, they really cast Randy Quaid as their lead, didn't they? That didn't age poorly AT ALL (/sarcasm).
Yes! Romeo and Juliet with leprechauns is a great way to put it! Also I don't know anything about randy quaid personally but dang he's unlikable in this movie good lord. Everyone else is super fun. 😅
Although, upon watching your video, Jack IS kinda secondary, so yay, that helps! Also oooh, Zoe Wanamaker is in this!
@@lizan2678 yeah it almost feels like they knew we wouldn't like jack 😂
Ya know, considering this is 1999, and a low budget hallmark movie, those tree people aren't that bad. In my opinion the bubble animation was worse than them.
While I love reboot (the 3d animated kids show and it's 200% not the animators fault and it's been talked about how they were working on making a 3d animated show since 1984, were told they can get a tv showing since 1991, and were only finally allowed on air after a bunch of censorship changes by the studio in 1994, with a new tech that really hadn't taken too many steps forward). It was around the same time as this, it looks pretty good.
Sure some parts of the face are a bit more rubbery than that wood texture they got, the way that one arm when he points and bends it isn't the best but they took the time to mimic the bark of the trees in the shot, they even adjusted the lighting accordingly. While it's not beauty and the beast 3d levels there, it's not too far from it either.
In all honesty, I wouldn't be shocked if the tree men ate quite a bit of their budget.
It's true this is something that impressed me with it's sheer scale given it's a pair of made for tv movies.
Speaking of fairy tale stuff, You should do a video of this movie from 1994 called, "Beanstalk." It's pretty much a modern version of Jack and the Beanstalk, but it's an okay movie.
I think I have that on the list but I'll double check because it sounds fun!
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff cool. I also would like to hear what you have to say about the Hansel and Gretel movie from 2002.
Regarding some of the drinking and whoring jokes that I've seen so far, I have to paraphrase a quote from a rather old Flash cartoon:
"It's a good thing all Irishmen are white males or this would be offensive!"
I love made for TV movies like this. I mean they are not the greatest but there is a certain charm to them you can't get anywhere else. Same goes for some of the straight to "Insert media type here" type of movies. I am huge into them just for how cheesy and weird they are. But as always great review Avery can't wait for the next one.
I totally agree! People are missing out if they don't watch a super cheesy movie from time to time.
18:45 I feel jack might be annoying because they portray him as:
“I am business man how can I use this nature for the good of capitalism?” guy
Which really isn’t my vibe.
That very well could be a huge part of it. 😂
But still. Onto the movie at hand. At least these leprechauns aren't encouraging arson.
Maybe if he was more like cousin Eddie, he would've been more entertaining? I had never heard of this before and after seeing it here, thank you for saving me some time lol. Don't forgot to do your weekly Portuguese lesson :)
Haha, I won't! Thanks for watching!
Man, say that fives fast, “Magical Legends of the Leprechauns”.
Right?? It's a lot 😂
Tell me that's Randy Quaid. I've seen him in the weirdest movies, from ID-4 to Nash Pluto to one of National Lampoon christmas movie sequels. This does look like a neat movie. I'll keep an eye out for it.
Me personally, for St. Patrick's Day, I skim through the 7 Leprechaun movies (6 with Warwick Davis playing the leprechaun). The 7th one is weird, they took it too seriously. The only fae-ish? movies I have ever seen (I also own 2 of them) are the Tinkerbell movies that came out not too long after this movie. I wish they had more movies like this one.
Yup, that is indeed Randy Quaid 😂 Both of these leprechaun movies are on Tubi for free if you feel like watching them. I've never seen any of the Leprechaun movies with Warwick but I love him so I'll have to check them out! And the Tinkerbell movies are adorable ☺️
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff ooh ooh! thank you! I'll try to check them out asap! oh, and yeah, Warwick's take on the leprechaun is a trip. The movies get weirder and weirder as they go along.. I think they took cues from the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street franchises.
@@Wario7793 I've definitely had requests to cover them here so I'll have to check that out soon. 😅
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff Cool! I'll check out your reaction video(s). I think you'll like them.
BANSHEE ESCALUS
BANSHEE ESCALUS
Wait! So this movie says that leprechaun's apparently have magical eyebrows. Does that mean the Grinch from the Halloween special is a leprechaun since his brows straight up did their own little jig and he's green?
That's a good point! He is green 👀
Can you review “The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus” (2000)? It used to air on Cartoon Network. I found a dvd of it on Amazon! Santa being raised by a fairy in a mystical forest and having to fight demonic rock monsters just lit up my child mind
Oooh, I'll have to either do that at Christmas or do a Christmas in July week haha 🙂
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff Keep it in mind! I don’t mind waiting for it until then. I meant to say it to you in December but it slipped away from me heh. Put it on your list though :) thank you!
@@Taylor-lm5op haha, yeah there are so many great Christmas things that I forgot or ran out of time to do half of what I wanted to do this past December
Yes!! Such a unique Rankin Bass Christmas movie, no one else seems to know about 😜
The dad leprechaun! That's fucking Colm Meaney! From Star Trek!
Oh I didn't know that!!
spent all day working on arranging sheet music and I just now realized I need to go to bed at a reasonable time. I couldn't have discovered this video at a better time, and I agree that this (5:29) is awful.
Lol, I feel that about going to bed on time and right?? I hate that line. 😂
No, nobody remembers the Bugs episode of Supernatural. Shhh.
Sorry, forgot we weren't talking about that one. 😅
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff 🤣
Where can I find this film?
I watched it on Tubi I believe and it may be on some other free (and legal) movie sites like crackle
Jickey?
😂😂😂
I have no idea what this is and I'm not sure how to feel about.
That is the correct reaction to have I think 😅😭
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff Also think the character of Jack could have very much worked if they had, A). better writing. Or B). And I know this is going sound superficial and feel bad for saying it, I guess better looking actor🤷♀. I legit feel bad for saying that🥴
Haha, well if it makes you feel better I think the reason we find him unattractive is because of his bad behaviour. I think a combination of better writing and better interpretation of the character could have made him endearing which in turn makes the character attractive. Or maybe that's just me and I'm strange 😅
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff Oh no, you make a great point. I think the main problem is that we don't see him become better. I have seen this kind of character done way better in other stuff. Like Naveen or Flynn Rider.
@@shelbymckinney8888 yeah those are two wonderful examples of character growth (and two of the best Disney princes in my opinion) ☺️ maybe we'll see him have some growth in the second movie 🤷♀️
We had both movies on one VHS tape with no break in between them, so I always thought it was just one movie. BTW, when watching a movie made before all this wokeness crap started happening, you have to take your "woke" glasses off in order to appreciate it.
