Yeah, the original wasn't exactly a flattering representation and their shortness was still played for comedic effect, but the actors got to play actual characters with personality, rather than just playing a leprechaun bit part or something.

I guess I'd be interested to hear what actual people with dwarfism from the time and today have to say about it.
