Featured review
I love it when Farina dreams...and so will you!
"Seein' Things" is an unusual Our Gang comedy because most of the short stars one of the kids, tiny Farina. However, oddly, at one point they called Farina a girl (common in many early films) and yet he dressed like a boy throughout...and sported a tux in the funny dream sequence.
When the story begins, the kids are making a barbecue. When Farina sees it, he/she is hungry and expects to eat, too. But the other kids are mean and shoo him away...and he ruins their barbecue out of spite. The other kids give chase but Farina hides in the back of a truck. Soon the truck leaves and accidentally dumps Farina AND a lot of food out of the back. Farina tries to call to the driver but he can't hear him, so Farina is forced to eat all the food! Soon, his stomach is HUGE and he waddles home.
Unfortunately, eating all that food causes Farina to have a nightmare...and that is when the film REALLY gets good! At first, the other kids are all giants and they chase him about a tiny set. Later, the film becomes a parody of Harold Lloyd's famous "Safety Last" and Farina is chased up the side of a skyscraper....and the gang give chase. What's next? See the film.
THe dream sequence is marvelous....funny, well done and clever. I also suspect the guy who pushes the plunger to detonate the dynamite is either Charley Chase or his brother, Paul Parrot (they both looked VERY similar and both worked for Hal Roach). Well worth your time and cute.
