Bursting at the seams with ludicrous physical comedy, the short silent film Dogs of War produces belly laughs that can stay with a viewer for days. Starring in this film are The Little Rascals, one of the most successful comedy groups in American cinematic history. Dogs of War features ridiculous childish pranks and play, including a war reenactment fought with rotten vegetables. But aside from the always fun gags, The Little Rascals are also historically significant because the gang was composed of mixed races and genders which were treated equally, no comic relief stereotypes. The kids are great, the encounters are hilarious, and the movie works through and through. Dogs of War is a keeper.

The Little Rascals Our Gang Comedy Movie: School’s Out
The Little Rascals are one of the most successful and well known groups in film history. The Rascals were the first group to incorporate whites, blacks, males, and females in one group and treat them equally, breaking down a long standing barrier in cinema. Here in School’s Out, part of the Our Gang short film series, the Rascals are back and in school and worried about their teacher. Jackie is in love with Miss Crabtree, and when a man comes in from out of town to see her, he gets nervous. The jokes are nonstop, and the kids show surprising comedic abilities. At one point, Farina says, “I’m not getting married, and I’m raising my children the same way!” Showcasing the natural child acting that the series is famous for, School’s Out is another winner in the Little Rascals movie shorts.
