La Cour de récré: Vive les vacances!

Theodore Detweiler Jr. Vincent Lasalle. Michael Blumberg. Gustav Patton Griswald. Gretchen Grundler. Ashley Funicello Spinelli. Peter Prickly. Seven heroes out to save Summer Vacation from a madman who really whomps! Recess. School's Out. If you like the cartoon series, you'll love the film. Funny, inventive, and dare I say it for Ashley fans, SCANDALOUS! Featuring the voices of Andrew Lawrence, Rickey Collins, Pam Seagal, Dabney Coleman and James Woods as his greatest Disney villain since Hercules kicked his Hades' fanny, Recess; School's Out immortalized the children of Third Street School to icons of movie magic. Robert Goulet gives a perfect performance as Mikey's singing voice. His "Green Tambourine" video was just awesome! Do yourselves a favor, Recess fans, get off your fat, saggin' butts and WATCH THIS FILM! It's Tenderrrrrrr!

Recess the TV show is about kids having fun, and teachers being teachers (good and bad). There's good character development and personality variation on the small screen and it carries well to the big screen.

The movie puts the kids in the role of spies who need to break INTO school to save their lifestyle. Along the way, there are great 60's flashback scenes and songs, lots of funny spy movie cliches including the mob-scene climax.

The characters are caricatures but it IS a cartoon after all. There's good voice casting (including James Wood, Melissa Joan Hart and a great sounding Robert Goulet). The plot is complicated (and just a little goofy), but my 8 and 10 year old had no trouble following the action.

There are good messages about friendship, respect, integrity, duty, but these aren't done in a preachy way.

The animation quality is variable. There are some great 3d zoom-sweeps, but for part of the movie the characters look like they've been singed. However, the few animation flaws are only an issue for nitpickers (like me).

See it with someone who knows that characters and likes them. It'll be a good rental or a nice afternoon in the theater.

I really liked the TV series - i used to watch every episode on the Disney Channel,But i don't think the movie is quite as good as the series:

For instance The writers are used to coming up with 10 minute stories, but with the movie it seems like a 10 min episode streched out to 80 minutes so i'ts not as good as i would have hoped, but the acting is still superb and very convincing. The animation is strangely NOT as good as the Series it seems very flat and uninspired. On the good side it's got a really cool story even if it could have been done in half the time & JAMES WOODS (his voice anyway) is really good as the bad guy. It has really cool 60's songs towards the end of the movie.

all in all a really good movie which will delight kids and adults alike,just a shame it's not as good as the series

my rating 10/10 for pure enjoyment

This is a likeable cartoon feature for both parents and children because it moves along and holds your attention. Fortunately, no one bursts out singing, but the oldies background music is a plus. James Woods does a fine job as the voice of the baddie. NOTE : Have never seen the TV show so am judging the film on its own.

Recess: School's Out is a beloved 90s classic that captures the spirit of childhood and the joys of summer break. The film follows T. J. Detweiler and his gang of friends as they try to save their summer vacation from being ruined by their old nemesis, the school's principal. Little do they know that the principal's plot to cancel summer vacation is part of a larger conspiracy that threatens the entire world.

The film is a fun and lighthearted adventure that will appeal to both kids and adults. The animation is bright and colorful, and the voice acting is top-notch, with the cast including some familiar names like James Woods, Robert Goulet, and Melissa Joan Hart.

One of the strengths of the film is its focus on the power of friendship and teamwork. T. J. And his friends may not have superpowers or magic weapons, but they are able to overcome their challenges through their creativity, resourcefulness, and loyalty to each other.

Another standout aspect of the film is its nostalgic 90s vibe. From the fashion and music to the humor and pop culture references, the film is a time capsule of the decade that will bring back fond memories for anyone who grew up in the era.

Overall, Recess: School's Out is a fun and charming movie that captures the essence of childhood and the joys of summer break. It's a great choice for anyone looking to relive some 90s nostalgia or introduce a new generation to a timeless classic.
