Anxiety and Worry
Alfalfa and Spanky break into a dance recital and dress up as ballerinas just to talk to Darla. They also have a frog with them that gets the rascals in trouble later. When talking to the other ballerinas, Alfalfa is so nervous that he starts to sweat. Sweating is a physiological response of worrying and anxiety. According to Goleman, “Worries deal with potential threats which is a positive.”[13] Later in the clip, Spanky puts the frog in Alfalfa’s leotard, and he is bouncing around during the whole performance. Spanky has the time of his life, while Alfalfa looks distressed.

Types of Emotions
Porky and Buckwheat are a dynamic duo in the film. They bring comic relief to many scenes. These two characters have many primary emotions, mostly joy and anticipation. In one scene, they try to catch a dollar from a duck in exchange for a pickle. They thought they were winning the jackpot. In the clubhouse burning scene, they try to find the number for 9-1-1, when the fire station is directly across the street. Along with the other rascals, Porky and Buckwheat show their emotions through facial expressions. Lane describes emotion families as, “Emotions developed from physical features.”[14] At the end of the film there are bloopers of all the animated faces the rascals make.
