Lazy Days (film)

Farina lazily minds his baby brother and his girlfriend Trellis waits for him. The rest of the gang are preparing their younger brothers and sisters for entry in a $50 baby contest, including Joe's crude attempt to present 11-year-old Chubby as an infant. When Farina learns about the contest, he slowly begins bathing and dressing his younger brother. On the way to the contest, Farina has a mishap with the stroller. After laying down to rest, he learns from Joe that the contest was actually held more than a month ago. ==Cast==

Farina's younger sister Jannie, who had appeared in several of the silent Our Gang films, appears in the film as his girlfriend Trellis. This was her first of only two appearances in Our Gang sound films; the other is ''Teacher's Beau''. Lazy Days was one of several Our Gang films deleted from King World's Little Rascals television package in 1971 because of material some considered racially offensive or insensitive. Because of its depiction of black Farina as what some considered to be stereotypically lazy, the short has been withheld from television since the 1970s, although it has been released on home video. Although the film is still under copyright, it occasionally surfaces in mutilated form on bootleg/public-domain home video releases. ==See also==
