I think this scene is in the movie because you just ought to have a silly Irish dancing to Irish music scene in a family musical about Irish folklore or folks would be seriously pondering why it isn't in there. Also, I think it's there and in the beginning to keep the audience wondering, if even a little, if Darby's just dreamt his visit with the leprechauns or not. And the film doesn't make it certain to all until the king of the leprechauns is seen by many people at once. But it's also wacko.

This scene was explained a few months back by this gentleman.

"if you just see this it's nonsensical, Darby's actually fallen into King Brian's court and uses the song (The Fox Chase) to stir all the leprechauns into a hunting mentality (three things leprechauns will always go for being dancing, whiskey, and hunting). Darby then escapes through the door that King Brian opens. It really does make sense, I promise.

Considering the time, these special effects were amazing!

Why is this nonsensical? He's getting them little ones all excited with the fox chase, to distract them, because they LOVE to dance. Then he's able to escape. Did you guys even watch the movie???? Imbecils.

[Kendra Chamberlain]

yesh, it;s like these people weren't paying attention to the movie at all.

ya, people put a lot of work in movies back then, imagine getting that many horses and riders that could synchronize like that to go around in that huge set (im assuming most of the size stuff is perspective), movies were an art back then, especially musicals, you had to be a triple threat.

King Brian's put the Come Hither on Darby, and Darby essentially is a prisoner of the Leprechauns. But Darby knows a Leprechaun cannot resist booze, dancing, and hunting. By playing a song, he gets them to dance away any suspicions they may have had of him trying to escape their kingdom, and by playing a song about a hunt, they decide to go for a hunt. It all makes sense if you watch the movie all the way through.

I see the fiddle. I see the scene. But the closest to 'WTF' that I see is you.
