The 1994 movie reboot of The Little Rascals is now 20 years old. In honor of that auspicious anniversary, the cast reunited to reenact some familiar poses.

Based on the 1950s TV show of the same name and also the Our Gang shorts of the 1920s through 1940s, The Little Rascals was a relative box office success at the time, bringing in more than $50 million despite negative reviews. The not-so-little-rascals now range in age from 24 to 29.

For most of the gang, the film marked their first acting gig. “Every moment of that movie was so locked into our memories,” Bug Hall (Alfalfa), who is now 29, told Entertainment Tonight. “It was such a big experience.” Hall continues to act and also pursues screenwriting

Ross Bagley (Buckwheat) said during the reunion, “I think we’re all surprised about how classic the film was and how it really just grew and it’s still something people reference today.” Bagley went on to appear in the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and also played Will Smith’s son in Independence Day and continues to act as well as DJ.
