Our Gang / Little Rascals

(1922-1944)

Comedy / Silent

A series of American comedy short films, Our Gang (also known as The Little Rascals and Hal Roach's Rascals) was about a group of poor neighborhood children and various adventures they experienced.  The producer was Hal Roach and the shorts were filmed at his studio starting in 1922.

According to Hal Roach the idea for Our Gang came to him in 1921 when a young girl came in to audition for one of his films.  It was clear she had been prepped and over-rehearsed.  After she left the audition he noticed some children across the street in a lumber yard having an argument.  He observed them for a bit and came up with the idea of a series that just showed children acting like children.
