The Little Rascals - The Complete Collection is an 8 DVD set released by Genius Entertainment in late October 2008. The set consisted of all eighty Hal Roach talkies, as well as three silent shorts. Initial releases included sixteen prints from Blackhawk Films, rather than the original 35mm prints featured on the earlier Cabin Fever sets. Complaints from buyers eventually led to RHI Entertainment teaming with Vivendi to re-release the set as seven separate volumes, all consisting of original 35mm prints. The entire set was eventually re-released, sans the Blackhawk prints, and with errors from an accompanying booklet corrected.
One notable error that was never corrected was the misplacement of Choo-Choo! and Canned Fishing in the set's chronological list of film titles.
