Our Gang, also known as The Little Rascals, was a series of American comedy short films about a group of poor neighborhood children and the adventures they had together. Created by producer Hal Roach, Our Gang started in 1922 as a silent short subject series.
Roach changed distributors from Pathé to MGM in 1927, went to sound in 1929 and continued production until 1938, when he sold the The Little Rascals to MGM. MGM in turn continued producing the comedies until 1944. A total of 220 shorts and one feature film, General Spanky, were eventually produced, featuring over forty-one child actors.
