Plot
According to the opening title of this silent Our Gang comedy, "Uncle Tom's Cabin had been translated and played in forty-two languages -- the gang decided to make it forty-three." In the kid's barnyard production of the Harriet Beecher Stowe epic, Mickey Daniels is cast as Simon Legree, Mary Kornman as Little Eva, and Joe Cobb (in blackface) as Uncle Tom. Despite a rowdy, vegetable-throwing audience, and the constant interruptions of their mothers, the kids' production is a marvel of ingenuity, complete with vibrating ice floes and heavenly "clowds" -- until the calamitous finale. Originally released on May 30, 1926, Uncle's Tom Uncle was remade as the 1932 Our Gang talkie Spanky. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
