"Hearts are Thumbs" is an American 10-minute live action sound film from almost 80 years ago. Of course, it is still in black-and-white like all the other Rascals films are too. Here, on several occasions, they reminded me of live action version of the Peanuts. The Rascals make a pact to stay away from all the Valentine's Day business, but it quickly shows that once a girl wants Alfalfa to be her valentine, there is no holding back. Pay attention to the mix of live action and animation near the end. The story is not too memorable here, but the film scores a lot through its cuteness and this is also why I give a positive verdict overall. I kinda expect the other kids to find valentines as well at the end, but nope, maybe they are still too little. Worth checking out as this is one of the better (and shorter) films from the series.
