Forreal like? "I wanted to protect you" as if Irish Americans didn't coexist with other Americans in the year 2001. Could have just left that Leprechaun part out lol
@@sassygrilledcheese true but the biggest deal in the world for so long he had mentioned it. They probably thought he might just grow up not knowing or wanting to know. Until until obviously the heritage day came up at the school so they had to answer it
the way his parents could’ve said they were from anywhere and avoided all of this. like kyle wouldn’t have gone to the irish festival for answers if his parents had given literally any actual answer
The reason the grandpa is so obsessed with making his own shoes is because in Irish folklore, Leprechauns are sometimes depicted as cobblers. Some stories have them making shoes as a profession, while in others they just mend their own shoes after running around so much and wearing them down. It was a cheeky reference to Irish folklore that not many people pick up on their first watch!
The evil leprechaun Seamus is played by Timothy Omundson! He was in Psych, Supernatural, Galavant, and the new Percy Jackson series. He's a great actor and dancer and it's hilarious to see him in this shitty movie. Also as an Irish person, can confirm all we do is cook in the fireplace, make shoes, play basketball, create family drama, and breakdance
I knew he looked familiar! And ok, thank you for confirming these rumors about the Irish. I think its clear that breakdancing and basketball need to be added to Irish festivals across the world.
I remember this movie playing literally every st.patricks day on disney channel for years when i was a child, keep in mind I was born like 3 years after this movie came out so they were airing this for at least 7 years after it first came out. the only thing i really remembered was his mom was secretly a leprechaun and evil leprechauns were trying to attack them.
haha I was 5 when this came out so I wasn't watching too many DCOMs until a few years later. I remember briefly seeing a trailer or something for it but I hadn't seen it till making this video!
Right? I love it, too. When he was like "Get ready for a tone-deaf movie that's going to ruin your day!" I was like "Oh, it already did. 20 years ago." And yeah, we also thought it was silly.
@@animanga103 It's definitely a millennial movie! 1996 was the last year millennials were born, so gen Z was a bit young for this. Some of the elder gen Zs would have seen reruns of movies like this through the mid/late 2000s, but it was definitely more millennial.
Just FYI, the book you mention about being Irish is a reference to the book called "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask"
As someone who's real name is Kyle and is actually 1/8th Irish and plays basketball sometimes this movie hit me hard as a kid. I'm not from Ohio though (thank god)
I've never played bagpipes, but I listen to them live at Renaissance fairs all the time. From my understanding, they can be played without blowing as long as there's air in them. There's this girl named Ally the Piper who's was accused of faking because she smiles while playing sometimes, and she explained it better than I can.
You're right that if bagpipes have enough air in the bag you can still get some notes out. In order to end a tune properly, you have to let enough air out for a clean cut off. In this case though, grandpa's probably playing Uilleann pipes which are inflated by bellows in stead of a blowpipe and common in Irish trad music.
“When you make your own shoes youre the master of your own feet” i feel like they had other plotlines cut from this movie because Kyle starts dancing after the bad guy touches him, like many other people in the crowd, and the grandpa calls the bad guy a faer darrig which i looked up and its like an irish faerie so i feel like they had to of cut something out of this movie that made the shoes somewhat relevant. Idk this movie wouldve been a lot cooler if it explored more irish folklore rather than just being like “all irish people are leprechauns🤷🏼🍀”
The thing with the grandps talking about shoes all the time is because leprechauns are obsessed with shoes. Making them, cleaning them, etc. Also that wasn't an "evil leprechaun dimension" they got transported to during the climax, that's just Ireland.
The erie unsettling thing was fully intentional. You had to have been there lol. You must not have seen any of the early DCOMs. It's a lot easier to accept a boy turning into a magical leprechaun after you see a boy turn into a mermaid.
Oh jez the 13th year with Dave Coulier. Yep, Thirteenth Year, Luck of the Irish, Zenon Girl of the 22nd Century, Halloween Town, and The Color of Friendship were huge Disney Channel original movies staples back in the 2000s lol.
@@sassygrilledcheese It feels cut like a horror flick because it is cut like a horror flick. This was made back when BET was constantly playing those leprechaun horror movies. Disney responded to them by assuming leprechaun horror must be a big deal and made a movie with young children in mind.
So Seamus is actually meant to be a fear dearg (I don't know why the dialogue calls him a leprechaun unless it's just because more people are familiar with them). They're a bit more antagonistic than leprechauns. There's MAYBE some connection with the Redcaps (similar in name and appearance), who live in castles on the border between Scotland and England and kill people before soaking their hats in their blood to keep them red. So I think Kyle got off lucky that Seamus didn't start killing his friends and family to paint his hat
thank you. We're getting more and more of the story for our movie together. When Troy and and Gabriella hugged a little to long (still a kids movie) she became pregnant with their first child. Gabriella, as a Disney Star came into Disneys witness protection program after giving birth to Kyle who got adopted into a family in Ohio, that works for Disney. Troy, as a punishment was torn through time as we saw in "17 again". However, Gabriella had to leave Disney for the witness protection program and moved to Forks, under the name "Isabella Swan" (Project: Black Swan - an Undercover Princess Project) where she met a guy named "Edward Cullen" who pretended to be human at first but then guilt tripped Gabriella, no, I mean Bella, into a relationship by telling her, that she is "breakable". She got one child with him, that was totally not disturbing in ANY WAY. NOOOOOO. and named it Renesmee Kyle Cullen after her fake mom and her first son.
I just watched this movie for the first time in 20 years because I needed a st patty’s day movie to watch. You did an excellent job summarizing it and asked the same questions I did 😂
As someone who on my mom's side is part Irish, Scottish, Welsh etc and whose dad is Greek, but I didn't meet him til adulthood I totally glommed on to this movie as a pre-teen.
The one who plays Kyle's grandfather is Henry Gibson who was a cast member on Laugh-In, the voice of Wilbur the pig in Charlotte's Web and played the head Nazi in The Blues Brothers
Oh no, I forgot about this movie. I used to have a mini crush on Ryan Merriman too. I love the way you tell a story with sass and humor. Great release for St Patty Day! ♥🍀
Yea I caught that! I just thought it was weird he was banished to a lake to begin with. Would have been cooler to see him locked in the box of gold his stole for eternity.
@@sassygrilledcheesethe point of that was Kyle recognizing that his Irish heritage isn’t more important than his American heritage, and also was a trick, because Erie is the Irish word for Ireland
This whole movie just feels like one big micro aggression. Of course you have to understand how many times ive been asked if I can river dance just because I was the only Irish American with blaringly obvious Irish surname.
I've seen mixed opinions amongst Irish Americans and people who are from Ireland about this movie but overall I totally get what you're saying. People assuming you river dance is actually crazy lmao.
@@sassygrilledcheese i would like to add that I was five the first time it happened too. I think it really depends how connected you are to that heritage. Some people only have passing knowledge and some have deeper roots, either way I can appreciate what the movie was trying to do, it just didn't do it well. For me personally...it gives me flashbacks lol
Those are actually uilleann pipes which have a bellows under the elbow instead of a mouthpiece to fill the air bladder ( you can see him pumping it, even.)
I do love picking apart the movies of my childhood because they were so bad but I do have to correct you on one thing. They were accurate with the scene of grandpa playing the pipes. What most people think of as bagpipes are the highland bagpipes of Scotland but many societies across the globe have various forms of bagpipes. What is being played is the uilleann pipes, Irish bagpipes. They are one of the hardest instruments to play. You use a set of bellows on one arm to fill the bag that the other arm has to squeeze while using your hands to actually play the notes on the chanter.
@@sassygrilledcheese I loved the commentary though. I watched this recently feeling I needed some nostalgia and spent the whole movie wondering why I liked it lol. The concept was good but the execution of it was like opening a package from Wish.
5:47 oh fun fact about this scene. It was filmed at Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, Utah. I’m from Utah myself and can identify the three rides in this shot. The left must is Paratrooper, the Farris Wheel next to it is Skyscraper and the ride on the right is The Samurai. 😁
10:44 I hadn't thought of it until now, but that actually opens up a whole new set of questions. Specifically, how one of the Fae would be handling cold iron.
I started Irish dancing around the same time this movie came out (this didn’t inspire me to Irish dance, it was a coffee commercial) and I’m from Cleveland. This movie is like a curse to me.
@@sassygrilledcheese it was a Folgers coffee commercial from the late 90s, it’s somewhere on UA-cam if you search “Folger’s Coffee Irish dance.” I think it’s delightful.
@@AgathaVile Yea that's weird. I've noticed some comments aren't appearing either. I'm not deleting them I promise lol. But that's interesting I've never seen that commercial.
@@damianwaynerobin5984 Sheamus creeps me out. Plus he looks like someone who would just come in your house, blow up your bathroom, eat the last slice of pizza and leave. 😂
18:01 just fyi you don’t need to blow when playing the bag pipes. The air comes from air you blew into the bag so as long as that has air you can just squeeze to play
Eh so many things aged poorly. It’s more fun to just make fun of poorly aged movies than take the bad takes too seriously 😂 at least we know better now! (Hopefully)
What a wierd one. I looked at rotten tomotoes and this got a whopping 53% audience score which i feel is very generous. I would tell you to have a look at Leprechaun is a 1993 American comedy horror film written and directed by Mark Jones, and starring Warwick Davis in the title role, with Jennifer Aniston supporting. It is the only movie in my life I walked out of the theatre after about 30 minutes of really trying to stay. Since you just did a irish movie, maybe save it for next year. Also have a look at Demons (Italian: Dèmoni) is a 1985 Italian supernatural horror film directed by Lamberto Bava, I have not watched it in 30 years but I still remember it made such an impression on me. I dont really remember if it was good or bad, but it is memorable and Bloody. :) Lastly is it just me? I have a very strong feeling the actor that played Shamus is an Elvis impersonator when he dosen't have a movie gig.
I was SO surprised when I looked up the rotten tomatoes for it. People really love this movie and have a lot of nostalgia for it! I personally had never seen it. I've never seen that horror movie about the Leprechaun but it sounds super weird lol. I'd love to visit that in the future. Sheamus could definitely could pass as an elvis impersonator :) Thanks for watching!
Have you ever heard of or seen the movie Camp (2003)? It's one of Anna Kendrick's early films. It's an uncomfortable movie to watch, but also hard to look away.
18:54 Actually, they often didn’t get paid. Company stores and company towns in conjunction with private police forces (like the Coal and Iron Police) were a common loophole around laws against slavery, and despite what modern historical revisionists might say, forcing people to work for free and threatening them with death or imprisonment if they try to leave is called slavery.
I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information about this and I'm not a historian so I'll need to take some time to educate myself but I appreciate your comment!
@@sassygrilledcheese a few good things to look into would be The Molly Maguires, The Great Railway Strike of 1877, The Scranton General Strike, The 1902-1903 Roosevelt Coal Hearings in Scranton, and the coal mining industry in general.
@@sassygrilledcheese Coal mining companies, and other businesses would often “pay” their workers with company notes that couldn’t be used pay for anything, unless it came from the company’s store. Food, clothing, supplies needed for work and other things were kept in the store and intentionally priced very high so that workers would have to take out loans from the company. Because of the loans they’d be in debt to the company, which would refuse to pay them any more until their loans were paid off.
Not sure if anyone's said it yet, but the shoe thing is a reference to classic Leprechaun lore. They've been said to make shoes or repair shoes, depending on variations of the story. Kind of classic "elf" type stuff.
I remember when I was a kid I did not like this movie and now as an adult I see how weird it is. I barely even remember this movie cause how much I didn’t like it. I would only watch it when I felt like I had nothing else better to do. I do remember liking the actor cause I saw him in Smart House. Anyway thanks for the reaction!
the reveal that it's the mother who's irish and not the dad genuinely shocks me because the dad LOOKS more ethnically irish than she does 😭😭 idk how to explain it but he has the big irish head on him, literally looks like my uncle also crazy how this isn't even the first disney film with a less-than-stellar depiction of irish culture and leprechauns, that started way back in 1959 with darby o'gill and the little people
I vaguely remember seeing this movie, on the Disney Channel. I know I'd seen ads for it. Now that you mentioned it, it's starting to come back to me, even though I wasn't exactly the target audience for it, since I was 23 at the time, and my sister was 16, so I don't think we watched the Disney Channel all that much. It sounded pretty corny, though. Also, I've known people who are Irish American and this movie seems pretty insulting to their culture.
Yeah! I thought the same thing! Although every person of Irish descent so far have been commenting that they loved it lmao so I don't know any more hahahaha
I use the term "good" very loosely here, BTW. Part of the charm of the DCOMs back in the day was how campy they were. lol They lost some of the magic when they started getting more professional with productions. Kind of like how the newer seasons of Always Sunny in HD don't hit like the OG 4:3 standard def. eps. @@sassygrilledcheese
I dont celebrate st patricks day but i watched someone review a different disney movie that showed a bit of luck if the irish in it so i decided to watch the movie for this st patricks. The movie is so weird, the beginning is shot like a horror movie. Everytime Kyle asks about his heritage his parents act so sus.
Might be tone deaf but it was cute. They should play it again. The dialogue is what silly kids that age would say. Parents are not hiding that they are Irish. They are hiding that they are leprechauns. Watched it with my little kid and it inspired him to come up with his own jig. :)
There are some amazingly weird and awkward movies from the mid-late 90's. Here's a fun cringe starter set... The Pest, House Arrest, Carpool, The Stupids.
Omg just noticed how many views this has gotten!!! I'm so proud 🥹
lol I was worried about how different my audio sounded but guess it didn't matter. Thanks so much I appreciate your support! Everyone go subscribe to @bunniixbee we may have some stuff planned later so you don't wanna miss it!

It’s my first time ever hearing about this movie (I’m Irish) and I’m CRYING 😂😂😂 incredible
god i VAGUELY remember this movie when i was a kid. i can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers!!!
I never even knew it existed until a few months ago lmaooo and thank you that’s so nice of you to say!
Hear hear for Kyle from Ohio ending racism!
our lord and savior, Kyle from Ohio.
18:01 just fyi you don’t need to blow when playing the bag pipes. The air comes from air you blew into the bag so as long as that has air you can just squeeze to play
I'm (actually) Irish and I sure hope this film is portraying my culture well! Oh -
hahahahahahaha
Please never stop making these ‼️👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I enjoy making them so I'm glad you enjoy them!
I enjoyed this movie as a kid, but I'm curious about the bad takes of a bygone era now.
Eh so many things aged poorly. It’s more fun to just make fun of poorly aged movies than take the bad takes too seriously 😂 at least we know better now! (Hopefully)
At my elementary school, this was nobody's favorite DCOM
oh no! lmaooooo
I still watch this every st patties it’s like the only tv special us irish americans grew up with :,(
It’s St. Paddy’s 😊
As someone from Northeast Ohio who just got back from Ireland after marching in the St Patrick's Day parade, this movie is like a fever dream lmao
This was one of my favorite DCOMs!!!!! Yes it's cringey now but it was soooo good when I was a kid 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who doesn't love a good cringey DCOM????? Thanks for watching!
What a wierd one. I looked at rotten tomotoes and this got a whopping 53% audience score which i feel is very generous.
I would tell you to have a look at Leprechaun is a 1993 American comedy horror film written and directed by Mark Jones, and starring Warwick Davis in the title role, with Jennifer Aniston supporting. It is the only movie in my life I walked out of the theatre after about 30 minutes of really trying to stay. Since you just did a irish movie, maybe save it for next year.
Also have a look at Demons (Italian: Dèmoni) is a 1985 Italian supernatural horror film directed by Lamberto Bava, I have not watched it in 30 years but I still remember it made such an impression on me. I dont really remember if it was good or bad, but it is memorable and Bloody. :)
Lastly is it just me? I have a very strong feeling the actor that played Shamus is an Elvis impersonator when he dosen't have a movie gig.
I was SO surprised when I looked up the rotten tomatoes for it. People really love this movie and have a lot of nostalgia for it! I personally had never seen it.
I've never seen that horror movie about the Leprechaun but it sounds super weird lol. I'd love to visit that in the future. Sheamus could definitely could pass as an elvis impersonator :) Thanks for watching!
This movie gives me the same vibes as my uncle who acts like he's Irish because he likes the Boston Celtics (we're not Irish at all)
665 subscribers? Dang I found a hidden gem of a UA-cam channel!
ahhhh thank you!
@@sassygrilledcheese hey, no problem man! Hope the whole UA-cam thing goes well.
Never heard of you before today, but this was a pretty funny video. Subscribed.
Yay thank you! 😊
didn’t like this movie, but I saw it 1 year after it was released.
I feel all Disney Channel’s movies are tone deaf. Even High School Musical.
we do not disrespect High School Musical in this house!!!!!
(but you're not entirely wrong)
god I remember loving this movie when I was little. I don't remember it being this fever dream-ish
Those were simpler times...
Have you ever heard of or seen the movie Camp (2003)? It's one of Anna Kendrick's early films. It's an uncomfortable movie to watch, but also hard to look away.
I have not I’ll have to check that one out! I just looked it up and it sounds cringy. 😂
The "My father's from Cleveland" line has lived in my head since I was ten
“The worst thing is being from Ohio”
Well nowadays it’s considered suffrage so…..
can I just say I love your style of commentary ! :)
I appreciate you saying that so much
How did I not remember detective Lassider in this??
okay but why you gotta come for ohio like this
IM SORRY I JUST REALLY WANTED TO MAKE JOKES ABOUT OHIO
@sassygrilledcheese still a 10/10 video if I overlook the ohio slander 😂
@@Nova_the_starcatcher Thank youuuuuuu!
This came out when I was 6 and I was obsessed. I think it was a solid movie for the time. DCOMs used to be better imho. More dark and real.
18:54 Actually, they often didn’t get paid. Company stores and company towns in conjunction with private police forces (like the Coal and Iron Police) were a common loophole around laws against slavery, and despite what modern historical revisionists might say, forcing people to work for free and threatening them with death or imprisonment if they try to leave is called slavery.
I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information about this and I'm not a historian so I'll need to take some time to educate myself but I appreciate your comment!
@@sassygrilledcheese a few good things to look into would be The Molly Maguires, The Great Railway Strike of 1877, The Scranton General Strike, The 1902-1903 Roosevelt Coal Hearings in Scranton, and the coal mining industry in general.
@@sassygrilledcheese Coal mining companies, and other businesses would often “pay” their workers with company notes that couldn’t be used pay for anything, unless it came from the company’s store. Food, clothing, supplies needed for work and other things were kept in the store and intentionally priced very high so that workers would have to take out loans from the company.
Because of the loans they’d be in debt to the company, which would refuse to pay them any more until their loans were paid off.
Why was I so convinced this was peak film making when I was a kid? I am an old cinephile now and everything that is my childhood just makes me sigh.
Because we didn’t know any better but the good news is they’re so much more fun to make fun of when you’re older 🤗🤗
Im irish and we do this
i will not accept this cleveland slander 😤😤😤
(everything else is valid)
IM SORRY I JUST REALLY WANTED TO MAKE A JOKE ABOUT OHIO
@@sassygrilledcheese we forgive you, you will Not be banished to lake erie 👍
@@alexaf4186 hahahahahahahaha
Not sure if anyone's said it yet, but the shoe thing is a reference to classic Leprechaun lore. They've been said to make shoes or repair shoes, depending on variations of the story. Kind of classic "elf" type stuff.
I remember when I was a kid I did not like this movie and now as an adult I see how weird it is. I barely even remember this movie cause how much I didn’t like it. I would only watch it when I felt like I had nothing else better to do. I do remember liking the actor cause I saw him in Smart House. Anyway thanks for the reaction!
Literally so annoyed I found you so early in your UA-cam career. I have already binged all your videos. More please!!! TIIA
More to come!!! Thank you!!!
the reveal that it's the mother who's irish and not the dad genuinely shocks me because the dad LOOKS more ethnically irish than she does 😭😭 idk how to explain it but he has the big irish head on him, literally looks like my uncle
also crazy how this isn't even the first disney film with a less-than-stellar depiction of irish culture and leprechauns, that started way back in 1959 with darby o'gill and the little people
I vaguely remember seeing this movie, on the Disney Channel. I know I'd seen ads for it. Now that you mentioned it, it's starting to come back to me, even though I wasn't exactly the target audience for it, since I was 23 at the time, and my sister was 16, so I don't think we watched the Disney Channel all that much. It sounded pretty corny, though. Also, I've known people who are Irish American and this movie seems pretty insulting to their culture.
Yeah! I thought the same thing! Although every person of Irish descent so far have been commenting that they loved it lmao so I don't know any more hahahaha
I thought this was going to be about Darby O’Gill and the Little People
never seen it!
CinemaSins? Is that you?
No my name is Casey
Thank you for covering this movie. 😂
it was the weirdest thing ever.
intro alone made me subscribe
Thank you!!
I remember back when we had cable as a kid I watched half of that movie and was so weirded out by it
This movie would have def weirded me out when I was younger.
I watched this movie so much as a kid and now I'm like "oh wow. uhhh what a stange movie"
it was SO weird lol
This movie brightens my day. It's a classic. Back when Disney made good movies.
Glad you were able to revisit a movie you love! Thanks for watching :)
I use the term "good" very loosely here, BTW. Part of the charm of the DCOMs back in the day was how campy they were. lol
They lost some of the magic when they started getting more professional with productions. Kind of like how the newer seasons of Always Sunny in HD don't hit like the OG 4:3 standard def. eps. @@sassygrilledcheese
I dont celebrate st patricks day but i watched someone review a different disney movie that showed a bit of luck if the irish in it so i decided to watch the movie for this st patricks. The movie is so weird, the beginning is shot like a horror movie. Everytime Kyle asks about his heritage his parents act so sus.
Yea this movie felt like a fever dream for sure lol
18:52 I finally understand that now😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the reaction is the best 😂
Might be tone deaf but it was cute. They should play it again. The dialogue is what silly kids that age would say. Parents are not hiding that they are Irish. They are hiding that they are leprechauns. Watched it with my little kid and it inspired him to come up with his own jig. :)
As an irish kid with a family full of Cleveland Browns fans, I've loved this movie since I was like 6. Leave me alone xD
hahahahahahahaha
Lmao I remember loving this movie as a kid. I had the BIGGEST crush on the main character.
Timothy Omundson to this day ridicules his own accent in this film.
now i just binge your videos 💀
These types of movies were much better at building culture and good values than current Disney films.
The subdivision they live, is surrounded by mountains.
Since when does ohio have so many mountains?
Just found this Channel, good work, how about Eddie’s million dollar cook off
Thanks! And omg that's a good one!
I guess if I didn’t see the title, 8d assume he was had in witness protection, and it would be useless to tell him
The intro gives me Pee-Wee Playhouse vibes, and I'm here for it.
Thank you!
Hit thumbs up during the "didn't expect that dialog" music...
There are some amazingly weird and awkward movies from the mid-late 90's. Here's a fun cringe starter set... The Pest, House Arrest, Carpool, The Stupids.
couldn't tell you why but this was one of my fav movies from ages 2 to 10....
This movie is very stereotypical
Yes, very!
