In search of a Christmas tree, a boy accidentally releases a bad-tempered banshee from her pine-tree prison.

This is perhaps peak Rankin/Bass insanity. Roughly two-thirds of the script is exposition...

The special understands that none of this makes sense, so half of its 25 minutes are give over to the leprechaun narrator explaining the lore.

It's just so strange that it's hard to not give in to its charms.

Rankin/Bass give us an Irish flavoured Christmas special that seems to be centered around the classic song Christmas In Killarney. Although a tad short on plot it's quick and painless.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
