"Shrimps for a Day" is an American 20-minute short film from 1934, so this one is already over 80 years old and sadly all of the cast and crew, even if they were kids at that point, are already dead. This one has sound already, but it is a black-and-white film of course and to put it in perspective, Hitler was in office for one year when this one was released, so you can roughly understand how old it is. It is another Rascals / Our Gang short film by Gus Meins, but even if Stymie, Spanky and some of the others show up, it really is more about the other two characters, grown-ups who get a magic lamp that turns them into children again and as a consequence they expose a ruthless criminal. Yeah, honestly, there weren't too many funny moments in this one. I am in general not a great Rascals fan, which may have had an impact of my perception, but like I said, it did not really feel like a Rascals movies. And one laugh every 5-6 minutes just isn't enough (like the too big dresses), especially for such a short film. I give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
