Line 28:
''The Little Rascals'' had been animated for television twice before. In the 1960s a series of clay-animated ''Little Rascals Color Specials'' were produced for syndication, presumably by [[Art Clokey]], using soundtracks from the original ''Our Gang'' films. In 1979, [[Fred Wolf]] produced an animated ''The Little Rascals [[Christmas by medium|Christmas Special]]'' for [[NBC]]. That company's version was further used in animated [[public service announcement]]s.
Hanna-Barbera's ''Little Rascals'' animated series had six [[voice actor]]s:
* [[Peter Cullen]] as [[Pete the Pup]] and [[Edgar Kennedy|Officer Ed]]
* [[Patty Maloney]] as [[Darla Hood]]
* [[Julie
* [[Scott Menville]] as [[George "Spanky" McFarland|Spanky]]
* [[Shavar Ross]] as [[Billie Thomas|Buckwheat]]
* [[Betty Jean Ward|B.J. Ward]] as [[Tommy "Butch" Bond|Butch]] and [[Darwood Kaye|Waldo]].

The animated series and the original live-action ''Our Gang'' films differ in a number of ways. The gang now lives in a contemporary 1980s setting, with [[computer]]s and [[television]], which could be assumed that these were the descendants of the original Little Rascals. Buckwheat is now a clever [[inventor]], always creating new devices for the gang, and Darla's eyes were changed from hazel to blue. Also in the animated series, the Rascals met in a treehouse and drove around the town of Greenpoint in a dog-drawn vehicle. Also, the popular [[theme music]] was completely different.
