Little Rascals
Our Gang, also known as The Little Rascals, was a long-lived series of American comedy short films about a group of poor neighborhood children and the adventures they had together. The series, created by comedy producer Hal Roach, was one of the best-known and most successful in cinema history. It was noted for showing children behaving in a relatively natural way. While child actors are often groomed to imitate adult acting styles, steal scenes, or deliver "cute" performances, Hal Roach and original director Robert F. McGowan worked to film the unaffected, raw nuances apparent in regular kids.
