| Studio: | Hal Roach Studios |
- Media Park, 9070 West Venice Blvd, Los Angeles: Originally a part of Culver City, the park was transferred to Los Angeles in 1933. A main feature of the park is the Pacific Electric Railway Ivy Substation, built in 1907 and still standing today.
- 3570 Motor Avenue: A key filming location landmark within the Palms neighborhood, this commercial building was used as a filming location in Hal Roach Studios comedies from the mid-1920s right up through 1976 when it appeared in the Charlie's Angels episode Target: Angels.
Production & Preservation Note: Standing as one of the very first sound releases in the Our Gang / The Little Rascals series, Bouncing Babies features an extensive amount of on-location filming. The movie documents the early layout of Media Park - complete with a fountain - and the adjacent Palms neighborhood streetscapes before modern development reshaped the area.
The Plot
A new baby brother arrives in Wheezer's household, but he's not pleased and attempts to return the baby to the hospital!
The Filming Locations
One of the first "talking films" in The Little Rascals series, this film features quite a bit of location filming, both in Culver City and the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles.
The early part of the film has the Gang playing in a park, dressed in Halloween costumes. This sequence was filmed at Media Park, on the Culver City / Los Angeles border. The park still exists today, though it clearly has seen better days.
In this Quick Preview Video of our full filming locations video documentary, we focus on the scenes later in the film, as Wheezer attempts to cross a busy street in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles.
