The Little Rascals is a movie adaptation of the classic black and white 1922 to 1944 series of short comedy films about a love-sick junior crooner named Alfalfa trying to win the affections of a little girl named Darla while dealing with a pair of bullies, general opposition by his other friends and members of their club, and a rival who is wealthier than him. At times cute and endearing, the language is slightly updated while everything else is very faithful to the old shows and can be very dated. Look out for Mel Brooks, the Olsens as kids, George Wendt, Whoopi Goldberg, Reba McIntyre, Daryl Hannah and even Donald Trump! OK, but with recycled skits and gags. Might appeal to very young children and very nostalgic adults.

Other mistake: When Alfalfa takes some flowers to Darla, Waldo (the rich boy) turns up and Darla's friends comment on the rich kid. As one girl is saying her line, 'He's smoother than a baby's bottom' you can see the girl next to her mouthing the same line.

Uh Huh: Actually, I've always had a rather extensive vocabulary, not to mention a phenomenal grasp of grammar and a superlative command of syntax. I simply chose not to employ them.

Trivia: In the movie, Spanky and Alfalfa's last name are Switzer and McFarland. These were the last names of the actors who originally played them in the 30s.

More trivia for The Little Rascals

Answer: Because MGM owned the rights to the "Our Gang" trademark, when the early films were re-released and new series started, the name was switched to "The Little Rascals" (for example, the 1982 cartoon) and that's what most people know them by. After that, it gets tricky with which companies own which rights, and King World Productions has some of "The Little Rascals" distribution rights.
