REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., Jan. 22, 2002
No one believes a man known for spinning tales full of blarney when he indeed befriends the king of the leprechauns. Director Stevenson's career is highlighted by his output of some of the best kid-friendly films of the period: Old Yeller, Mary Poppins, That Darn Cat!, and The Love Bug. The Saturday Morning Film Club continues every last Saturday of each month, and is co-sponsored by Ain't It Cool News, Sapient, The Austin Chronicle, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
