Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Hot 888 Mama . . . budding mansion mogul "Wallace" invites the Unscrubbed Our Gang and their dirty mule into the innermost recesses of his palatial palace toward the beginning of HONKEY-DONKEY. The title animal, a vociferous Jackass named "Algebra," gets to take its first snooze between satin sheets, after tiring itself out running up and down grand staircases, kicking out walls, and engaging in other donkey hijinks. The socialist moles who had recently wrested control of Our Gang production during the depths of America's Great Depression take great pains to outline the sort of Reckoning Day on the horizon for U.S. fat cat One Per Centers with HONKEY-DONKEY. This impending Judgement Hour will see the unwashed masses surging like THE BLOB across the arrogant aristocrats' neatly manicured lawns, around their spacious verandahs, through their gaping picture windows, over their haughty carpets, and right into the treasure troves not-so-well concealed in their walk-in closets.

Leofwine_draca HONKY DONKEY is possibly the funniest Our Gang short that I've yet seen. Sometimes the simple ones are the best, and HONKY DONKEY is just that: a short film with a simple premise and absolutely hilarious execution. The tale involves the usual Our Gang members (with the addition of the naturally fitting Don Barlcay as Barclay the chauffeur) get hold of a donkey and letting it run loose in a rich kid's house.Sure, the humour is simplistic and often repetitive, especially with all of the noises on the soundtrack. But the donkey itself is trained to perfection and the subsequent antics never less than very, very funny. The kid actors seem to be having a ball, too, although Barclay gives the stand-out performance for me.

ccthemovieman-1 "Cute" might be the best word to describe this old Our Gang short. Much of this is the same gag over and over and over.....but it's still funny.The star of this show is the chauffeur, "Barclay," played by Don Barclay. Man, that poor guy takes a lot of abuse in here. "Algebra," the donkey, is also a lot of fun to watch.Basically, the story is about a rich kid named "Wallace" who wants to be a regular kid and orders his chauffeur who go to alleyways and other low-rent districts so he can find some kids to play with. Yeah, you know who he discovers - the Little Rascals, who have rigged up a machine that gives them a merry-go-round type ride. It's powered by a donkey, who only moves when someone sneezes. He then chases that person. When he hears a bell, he stops and sits down. That stop-start routine is used at least a dozen times in this 16-minute short, and the donkey winds up at the rich kid's mansion with wild results.

Ron Oliver An OUR GANG Comedy Short.Pampered rich kid Wally is delighted to find Stymie, Spanky & the Gang playing in an alley with their donkey Algebra. Bringing them all back to his home, they engage in rambunctious play. But when Algebra gets into the mansion, everyone is soon involved in playing HONKY-DONKEY to get rid of the recalcitrant creature.A funny little film, with some good moments watching the Rascals at play. Willie Mae Taylor portrays the part of `Buckwheat'.
