3.0 out of 5 stars
a little disappointing, April 24, 2011
This review is from: Our Gang 4-pack DVD: The Our Gang Story; Little Rascals Greatest Hits; Our Gang Comedy Festival #1; Little Rascals Varieties. (DVD)
There just wasn't a good explanation of this collection, so here it is. you get ONE disc (Greatest Hits)of actual full-length episodes;
1)Shrimps For A Day
2)Fly Me Kite
3) Hi Neighbor
4) Beginner's Luck
5) Kid From Borneo
They look great - very clean. Very happy with that disc. The Other three are mixed baskets. "The Our Gang Story" is a documentary on the Rascals, and is very interesting...once. Lots of fun facts, along with footage. Did you know that Alfalfa was in "It's A Wonderful Life"? neither did I.
"Our Gang Comedy Festival" is bits from different shorts. Fun, but, not complete episodes.
Little Rascals Varieties" is interesting in that it's a compilation by Hal Roach that was released to theaters in the '50's of old shows where the kids put on a musical show. Again, fun, but not full episodes.
There's alot of duplication in these - I bought it for next to nothing, so I'm not really upset, just wish it was all full episodes. It definitely has whet my appetite for more, full length films.
So I wouldn't recommend it unless you get it CHEAP (mine was $6)and just wanna see some Rascals once and put it away.
