Our Gang

Our Gang, also known as The Little Rascals or Hal Roach's Rascals, was a series of American comedy short film  about a group of poor neighborhood children  and the adventures they had together. Created by comedy producer Hal Roach, the series is noted for showing children behaving in a relatively natural way, as Roach and original director Robert F. McGowan worked to film the unaffected, raw nuances apparent in regular children rather than have them imitate adult acting styles. 1936
