Trivia
Notice that the "Our Gang" character of Waldo was clearly the role model for the Waldo of the "Where's Waldo" find him books. Looks just like him.

Quotes
Alfalfa: Will you let me know when Nelson Eddy gets here? I want to shake hands with him 'cause he's a pretty good singer too.

Makin' A Movie With The Little Rascals

After thoroughly disrupting the opening of a new Hollywood movie, the Gang decides to make their own film, The Misterryus Mistery. At THE BIG PREMIERE, with the neighbor kids in attendance, cinematic chaos ensues...

Few real laughs in this otherwise innocuous little film. Made after MGM got direct control of the Gang, and with the kids themselves noticeably growing up, it bears scant resemblance to the Rascals' classics of yesteryear.
