Review of The Little Rascals (1994) by Emma V — 19 Sep 2015
The original Little Rascals short films and early television show aired in the 1920s-30s. It had several reruns, which passed it down to another generation. This movie aims primarily at kids and parents with nostalgic affection for the old short films.
Parents who remember the originals may enjoy seeing their familiar characters more than their children may. Kids of the 90s have no knowledge or connection to these characters. Most of the scenes incorporate reconstructed classic scenes and storylines from the old series.
The storyline is not amazing, but it does effectively tie together the separate retro highlights. It is still enjoyable for kids today, but there is something old-fashioned about it even though it is set in present times.
The children actors and silly situations revived from the old short films are cute. It does not stand out as particularly fun or funny. It attempts to get by on cuteness more than anything.
