Mickey Rooney -- credited as McGuire, as he would be through the run of the series -- inducts a new member into the gang, tries to put little brother Billy Barty to bed for a nap, and wins a basketball game against Stinky Davis' team in this episode of the series.
Mickey and the gang become fire fighters. Features ridiculous stunts (including a car getting hit by a train, and Spencer Bell sharing a scene with a live lion).
The second short from the "Mickey McGuire" film series. The series was based on Fontaine Fox's popular comic strip "Toonerville Trolley". "Mickey McGuire" was a popular rival to Hal Roach's Our Gang series. Perhaps the most notable note about the series is that it launched Mickey Rooney's film career. The film follows Mickey McGuire (Rooney) and his pals as they start a "Pet Xchange".
Mickey and the gang play a game of football against Stinky Davis.
It's the first day back at school for Mickey and the gang, which means plenty of pain for the schoolteacher. But things really heat up when a fire breaks out in the schoolhouse.
Mickey and the gang decide to make their own movie. Guest starring Hannah Washington (a poor man's Farina of the 1920's).
Mickey and the gang play detective. Later, the dog gets stuck with a professor's time bomb.
Mickey and the gang go game hunting, and come across a live lion. No, seriously, we see eight year old Rooney share a scene with a real lion.
The gang build their own airplane, and Mickey and Hambone go for a high-flying adventure when the plane supposedly starts to work.
One of the last silent shorts in the series. Stinky invites Mickey and company to his rodeo. Plenty of lassoing, horse riding, and even a head-butting contest between Hambone and a goat!
