Our Gang

***Our Gang*** (); također poznat kao i kao ***The Little Rascals*** () ili ***Hal Roach's Rascals*** ()  je serija američkih kratkih igranih filmova koja se snimala u Hollywoodu od 1922. do 1944. godine, a koja je za temu imala pustolovine djece iz siromašnih gradskih četvrti. Pokrenuo ju je producent Hal Roach, za čiji je pristup, zajedno sa režiserom Robertom F. McGowanom, bilo karakteristično da inzistira na prirodnom ponašanju djece-glumaca. Filmovi su ispočetka bili nijemi, da bi od 1929. bili zvučni; godine 1938. su autorska prava prodana studiju MGM. Ukupno je snimljeno 220 kratkih i jedan cjelovečernji film pod naslovom General Spanky, a u seriji je u glavnim ulogama nastupilo preko 41 djece glumaca.

Za *Our Gang* je bilo karakteristično da su među dječjom glumačkom postavom zajedno nastupali bijelci i crnci, a što je bila prilična rijetkost za tadašnji Hollywood, odnosno SAD u eri institucionalne rasne segregacije.

Od završetka snimanja serije bilo je nekoliko pokušaja da se Our Gang ponovno pokrene ili snimi remake, od kojih je najpoznatiji igrani film *[[The Little Rascals (film)|The Little Rascals]]* iz 1994. godine.
