PopMatters Film Review

Enter Recess: School's Out, the new Disney animated film based on the popular Saturday morning cartoon. Like the show, the movie follows the exploits of a group of elementary schoolers as they torment their overbearing teachers, such as the shrewish Miss Finster (April Winchell) and the well-meaning but clueless Principal Prickly (Dabney Coleman). As the film opens, the kids are celebrating the upcoming summer break by pulling one more school prank, namely, the theft of ice cream bars that are being kept from the kids by Miss Finster.
