Listen Later

Fellow kids of the playground, we give you... a new episode!! This week we're celebrating the end of the school year with the ultimate ode to summer vacation in Recess: School's Out (2001). Based on the TV show of the same name, this animated movie focuses on mischievous 4th grader TJ who winds up all alone during the summer after his friends head off to camp. During his wallowing, he discovers that weird phenomena are going down at their elementary school and decides it's time to bring all of his friends (and more!) back to solve the mystery. Along the way the group learns the importance of making childhood memories, how special friendships are when you're young, and that adults are people who also remember their own childhoods. The critic ratings for this movie were fairly low, but do we agree with their assessment? Or does the memory of summer hijinks hit a sweet spot for us? Let’s find out together!
