Synopsis

The school year is finally over, and T.J. Detweiler is looking forward to a fun-filled summer. Boredom quickly sets in until T.J. uncovers a scheme to do away with summer vacation! Former principal Dr. Benedict, who once tried to eliminate recess from the school day, now plans to use a laser beam to alter the weather and create permanent winter. It sure would be tough to have to go to school year-round, so T.J. calls in all his friends for help. Just when the kids appear to be facing their final test of strength against the mad principal, the faculty joins together in order to help save summer vacation.

Recess: School's Out

alecpeleJuly 25, 2003

This cartoon movie is not bad, but still it doesn't have anyhing special to show. When I watched it, I enjoyied it but untill the end of the movie I almost forgot it was a Disney production. The story (scenario) is pretty good, but that's all. The characters are very simple cartoon faces and the music is not the usual delighful soundtracks, we used to enjoy by Disney.
