Recess: School's Out

Recess: School's Out is a 2001 American animated comedy film based on the Disney television series Recess.

Summary
With the school year finally over, T.J. Detweiler (the protagonist of the film and TV series) is excited for summer vacation. However, his excitement is soon tarnished as his best friends (Vince LaSalle, Gretchen Grundler, Mikey Blumberg, Gus Griswald, and Ashley Spinelli) have announced they are leaving for summer camp. As boredom sinks into T.J. with his best friends at camp, he discovers that something weird is going on inside Third Street School, and that it involves a scheme to get rid of summer vacation forever. T.J. then rounds up his friends and plan to save summer vacation from being destroyed forever.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Awesome animation; even better than the TV series.
 * 2) Talented voice acting of both the voice actors from the TV series as they all reprise their roles, and the new ones in the movie, especially James Woods as Dr. Phillium Benedict.
 * 3) Amazing plot that fits well with the TV series, and it has excellent writing.
 * 4) Funny and hilarious moments, like T.J. imitating Principal Prickly on the intercom at the beginning of the movie.
 * 5) Excellent characters, as the ones from the TV series kept their personalities.
 * 6) Dr. Phillium Benedict is portrayed as a truly evil and maniacal villain.
 * 7) Excellent song choice for the soundtrack - namely 'Green Tambourine' and 'Dancing in the Street'.
 * 8) Excellent plot twists.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) There are a few moments that seem to have dull or inaccurate writing; one example being when Gretchen says that those who complete the fourth grade are "no longer kids", and are "now considered pre-young adults".

Trivia

 * 1) This was supposed to be the series finale of the show, but due to the success of the show, it was renewed for one more season.
