The Little Rascals Online Videos: Dogs of War (1923)

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.
