A new Little Rascals movie will star one of the Toddlers & Tiaras girls, which sounds about right
Universal has announced plans to once again update The Little Rascals, the series of Hal Roach-produced Our Gang shorts that so lifted the spirits of the nation in the early 20th century with their hilarious, adorable exploitation of child labor. Fittingly, the only confirmed star as yet for this, the first revival of the franchise since Penelope Spheeris' 1994 film, is 7-year-old Eden Wood, who was whelped in the same Toddlers & Tiaras mill that produced Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Unfortunately, while Wood's own spinoff, Eden's World, similarly succeeded in providing the all-important schadenfreude that comes from watching an untalented child's dreams be repeatedly crushed, it lacked fat, self-described "rednecks" farting and gleefully destroying their bodies, thus failing to capture the zeitgeist.
