robot wreck be a mediocre entry in the our gang series and make during the decline year of the once excellent short comedy . the age second generation cast member look awkward and particularly spanky mcfarland and who be really too old to portray a kid . the plot be accord to a well worn formula and with the gang build their own backyard version of something they have see . it all familiar and with predictable result . the studio be try to introduce another new generation of child actor to the series during this time period and but the originality of the character see in the early film just wasn not there . the best example of the early film ( 1930 era ) feature the gang do their thing without any adult presence in evidence . the 1940 film be full of adult character and and their presence be a big detraction . if you want to catch the true peak of the series and watch the film make from 1929 through the mid 1930 and and do not bother with late series entry .
