Likeable Cartoon Feature
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.

Tenderrrrrr!
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!
A funny animated cartoon film!
I saw "Recess:School's Out" and it was very likeable. T.J was a very funny character and I like the animation. The T.V. show is also funny, so I enjoyed the movie quite well. Anyways, I really enjoyed this movie and I recommend it. I give it a 9 out of 10!
"Tender".
I really like the T.V. series "?Recess", so I decided to check out the movie. Frankly, I thought it was a pretty good movie. The story was pretty original, and the soundtrack has some classic 60's songs due to some scenes. Overall, this is a good movie. So check it out.
Did you know
- TriviaBurt Reynolds was originally cast as Benedict but was replaced with James Woods as the producers thought Reynolds' performance was too over-the-top and sinister. Benedict was, however, modelled after Reynolds.
- GoofsAfter Prickley gets dematerialized outside the school's main entrance only his shoes remain on the ground, T.J runs home to get Beckey to help him round up his friends and leaves the steaming shoes on the ground. But when T.J arrives at the baseball camp to collect Vince, he is shown to have the shoes and shows them to Vince to prove he is telling the truth.
