Recess: School's Out	comment	Recess: School's Out (or Recess: The Movie in certain countries) is a 2001 animated film of the popular Disney animated series Recess. It was produced by Walt Disney Television Animation and directed by Chuck Sheetz, with the screenplay by Jonathan Greenberg and story by Greenberg and franchise creators Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere.It is the fourth movie based off a Disney television series to be released theatrically, the second (and most successful) movie based on a One Saturday Morning show, and the final One Saturday Morning based movie of the '90s lineup (Teacher's Pet would be the last movie from the block altogether). School's Out was produced from 1998 (during the show's second season, which pretty much explains how popular it was) to 2000, and was released on February 16, 2001.It's the end of the school year, and T.J. Detweiler (Andrew Lawrence) is looking forward to spending summer with his friends Vince LaSalle (Rickey D'Shon Collins), Mikey Blumberg (Jason Davis), Gretchen Grundler (Ashley Johnson), Gus Griswald (Courtland Mead) and Ashley Spinelli (Pamela Adlon)...until he finds out each of them are going to different summer camps. Boredom and loneliness sets in for him until he notices something strange going on at the school. He makes his older sister, Becky (Melissa Joan Hart), pick up the rest of the gang from their camps (unwillingly), so they can aid him in finding out what's going on, as neither his parents nor the police believe him, and after getting Principal Peter Prickly (Dabney Coleman) to see what's going on, Prickly somehow gets zapped inside the building. The gang don't believe T.J. at first, and think he made the whole thing up to convince them to come home from camp, until they see a huge emitter dish come out of the school roof and shoot a laser beam into the sky. Two nights later, they plan a stakeout (with Randall Weems (Ryan O'Donohue) snooping around and seeing what's up, and getting Miss Muriel Finster (April Winchell) to try and stop them).They find out that former principal Phillium Benedict (James Woods) and his cronies are trying to enact a plan to end summer vacation for good by creating a permanent winter. After accidentally getting spotted (thanks to Mikey), the villains chase after the kids, including an army of ninjas. While the other five escape, T.J. is caught, and is put in the same room Prickly was captured in. Apparently, Prickly knows Benedict, who has wanted to get rid of recess since The '60s. Will the gang thwart the plans to get rid of recess and summer vacation?Followed by a sequel, Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade, in 2003.Not to be confused with School's Out! The Musical from a completely unrelated cartoon.

Recess: School's Out / int_10dcbe05	type	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other
Recess: School's Out / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Miss Finster said in the series that just because she nails T.J. for misbehaving doesn't mean she hates him. T.J. feels the same way towards her. When the Ugly Bald Guy threatens T.J., Finster challenges him instead and knocks him out. T.J. thanks her and she says she's just doing her job. Principal Prickly reveals to T.J. that he watches him and his friends very closely because he cares about their success and hopes to see them move on to Middle School, but that in the end he hopes the group enjoys their childhood before it ends. T.J. does admit to Prickly at the start of the film that he respects him deeply. Becky asks why she should help the gang save T.J. after all the stuff he'd done to her since the start of summer. Mikey responds because he's her little brother and he needs her. She promptly joins them. And at the end when T.J. gives Becky back her journal that he'd been using as a blackmail tool. Doubly so when he reveals to his friends that the copies he'd said he made weren't real.

Recess: School's Out / int_1888979e	comment	Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Benedict's mission to destroy recess and later summer vacation comes from a desire to improve students' test scores in the US. However, while he is not lying about this and genuinely believes he's in the right, the reason why he desires such is only because he thinks doing so will benefit & advance his career, make people view him as a hero, and possibly get him elected as President. Deep down, he couldn't care less about how anyone, especially not students, would feel or be negatively impacted about his actions. And that's without mentioning the fact that he has zero problem with creating a new Ice Age that would definitely be an ecological disaster for the entire world. Ultimately, Benedict only cares if he benefits from his "noble" actions.

The confusion is made by Benedict's line "I am going to get rid of recess!" (which is actually two different lines from the movie spliced together) being heard as "Bald Guy" enters the Army control room at the film's beginning (albeit as a silhouette covered in smoke).

The lunch ladies decide to leave a pot of corn chowder in the school over the summer, later found by T.J. and Principal Prickly.

However, Benedict refuses on the account that his troubles started at the school and that they will end in there. The scientists are even discomforted to see Rosenthal being dragged away into 'detention' on Benedict's orders due to Rosenthal's supposed failures with the tractor beam tests, though they are unable to protest against this as doing so would put them in more trouble with Benedict.

Recess: School's Out / int_3cb1d38d	comment	Bad Boss: Benedict can be considered this when he gets into an argument with his scientists as they tried to give in more pragmatic solutions for his plot; even ranting out against his main assistant Fenwick whenever things don't go his way. He even had one of the scientists, Dr. Rosenthal, placed in 'detention' after the latter's failures with the tractor beam tests; even when Rosenthal tried to explain that the system had a few bugs that needed to be fixed, Benedict didn't care and ordered the bald guy and one of his Mooks to haul Rosenthal away. Whatever 'detention' constitutes under Dr. Benedict's watch, it clearly isn't pleasant. Perhaps most disconcerting is the fact that we never do see Dr. Rosenthal again after he's dragged away begging for mercy; even his fellow scientists show nothing but pity for him afterwards. During the final battle, Benedict gets one of his scientists to fire up the tractor beam. The scientist does so by putting the machine to mid-power in order to warm up the beam, but Benedict (in an act of impatience) violently pushes the scientist away so that he can personally set the machine to full power.

Recess: School's Out / int_4781adbb	comment	Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Much of the students and the staff are this: While some of the students (such as Lawson, Gelman, the Ashleys, and even T.J.'s older sister Becky) are at odds with T.J. and his gang, they make no hesitation to team up with the gang upon hearing the full scope of Benedict's plot; they even obliged to Gus' clever plan to take down several of Benedict's guards to break into the school. Even Randall's snitching towards the gang already led Miss Finster to learn the truth and rally up the teachers to help out the students for good, given to his horrified reaction when Benedict's ninjas threatened T.J.'s friends, as well as his disgust towards Fenwick for trying to weasel his way out from being arrested. While Miss Finster may be much of a Sadistic Teacher who likes to strike fear into children's minds when it comes to doing discipline, she truly understands the great importance of recess and summer vacation for children (as well as their safety), given to her horrified reaction of seeing the gang being threatened by Benedict's ninjas, as well as rallying all the teachers to help Prickly and the students in fighting off Benedict's men; even the gang themselves are delighted to see Finster coming to the rescue. Even when being given a chance by Benedict to fix their relationship, Finster rightfully refuses on the account that Benedict has sinked so low by threatening children (and the entire world) to satisfy his own ego. Even Principal Prickly counts as despite his beef with T.J. and his gang for undermining his authority many times and thinking of several ways to punish them, he makes no hesitation to protect them (and the other students) from serious threats, given to his failed plea to have T.J. released when Benedict captured him. He even points out to T.J. that he too has a full understanding about recess and summer vacation as he used to have great memories of them as a kid; he even genuinely thanks T.J. for dragging him into the matter, otherwise he wouldn't have known about it.

He makes no hesitation to order his men to capture T.J. and his friends when they were spotted spying on him, though he succeeds in capturing only T.J. while his friends escape after being chased off by Benedict's ninjas, who almost killed Spinelli by throwing a shuriken at her. Even when T.J.'s friends and Miss Finster rally up the rest of the students and teachers to help Prickly and T.J. to stop Benedict in his tracks, Benedict furiously orders all of his men to beat up both the students and teachers. Even the bald guy himself shows no qualms in hurting children as he once tried to beat up T.J.'s friends when they helped the other students reclaim the school. During the final battle, the bald guy menacingly walks towards T.J. with the intention of beating him up to a pulp, only to be stopped by Miss Finster, who smacks the bald guy out with several punches on his face.

It wasn't until T.J. did some more sleuthing the next morning where he stumbled upon Prickly's golf pants that the truth became even more insidious: The "Prickly" that they earlier witnessed was actually the ugly bald guy incognito, presumably to keep the other people in the dark about what's really going on at the school, and that the real Prickly was being held captive.

While both are held captive in the school facilities, TJ helps untie Prickly's bonds and uses the air vents to get them out of the storage room.

Also, one of the reasons why he holds such a grudge against Prickly is because he revealing his recess ban back in The '60s, destroyed his relationship with Muriel, the only woman he ever loved.

Recess: School's Out / int_60194b82	comment	Spanner in the Works: Double-subverted with Randall and Ms. Finster. Randall, bored out of his mind, spies on TJ and the kids and reports to Ms. Finster when he tells her that they're going to "break into the school" during the summer. Ms. Finster decides to go and stop them, but they both miss most of the action that the gang encounters. After the police laugh at Ms. Finster when she reports the ninjas that were threatening the gang, jokingly telling her to go home for a rest while they make a personal phone call to Jackie Chan (a nod to his career as an actor/martial artist), she rallies the teachers as an army to stop Benedict, having realized what he was doing. If she hadn't done that, Benedict would have enacted his plan. Earlier in the film, TJ is forced by his mom to go on a "playdate" with Randall; while cycling to Randall's house, TJ notices the strange flashes of green lights (from the scientists' earlier tractor beam testing) at Third Street, only for the Bald Guy to chase him away. This is what makes TJ suspicious and in turn, leads directly to the entirety of Third Street (both students and faculty) working together to stop Benedict's plan. Spinelli ends up playing it straight. She foils Benedict's plans indirectly by stealing his datebook. She was planning to erase his important events to mess with him, but Gretchen figures out "the lady" he is seeing is actually an event where the moon is closest to the Earth. When T.J. tells them Benedict wants to cancel recess, Gretchen quickly two-and-two together that Benedict is using the tractor beam to usher in an Ice Age.

He wants to get rid of summer vacation by moving the moon and disrupting the Earth's weather patterns: Boo! He wants to do it because he's angry at how American kids are falling behind their international peers in academic tests: B— Wait. That... is actually a legitimate concern. note To the movie's credit, the kids do point out that Japan and Tierra Del Fuego, which have summer vacations, boast some of the highest test scores, but it's still hard to fault the guy's motive, even if his methods and logic are pants-on-head insane. Benedict also made another point when he explains to one of the scientists Dr. Rosenthal, that when it comes to dealing with a very delinquent student who would claim that he would do better next time, but never did, somebody would have to take action to make a serious example out of the student for his behavior by punishing him. However, he only uses it as a petty excuse to have Dr. Rosenthal punished because of the latter's failure to move the moon due to a few bugs in the beam's system; even when Dr. Rosenthal tried to point that out earlier while pleading to let him fix the system, Benedict refuses to listen and orders for Rosenthal to be taken away.

Prickly, whom Benedict told about his plan, informs the Superintendent about the situation in hopes that the latter would reason with Benedict and bring back recess to appease the parents. Unfortunately, even after the Superintendent overturns the no-recess edict and assures the parents that the rule will never come to pass at the school so long as he's in charge of the district, Benedict still refused to back down from his beliefs and back-talks the superintendent, claiming "Hey man, you just don't get it!". This leads to the superintendent, who rightfully assumed Benedict had become Drunk with Power due to his position, angrily firing Benedict and giving the job to Prickly, making Benedict believe his best friend betrayed him to steal his job for himself. Even when Prickly tried to explain that this wasn't the case, Benedict stubbornly refused to listen and broke all ties with him, starting him on his path to villainy.

Justified, as he was a school principal during the late 60s when he was into the beliefs of peace and unity. However, this all goes moot in the final battle when he furiously ordered his men to attack both the students and teachers when they ganged up together in an attempt to foil his plot; even T.J. points that Benedict's plot would only cause bigger problems to the Earth as it would endanger billions of lives instead of raising test scores.

Recess: School's Out / int_b4a6ae4c	comment	Everyone Has Standards: Most of the students and teachers have shown several moments about this in the movie: As much as Prickly likes to ensure law and order that puts him at odds with the students (especially T.J. and his friends), he is horrified and outraged over Benedict's plan to abolish recess and summer vacation at the cost of endangering the Earth. He even chews out against Benedict for his narcissism and delusions. As much as Finster enjoys enforcing rules on the playground that strikes fear into the students, she is extremely appalled of the revelation that Benedict wants to abolish recess and summer vacation at the cost of endangering the Earth. She even is more outraged to see that Benedict is more than willing to have his men physically harm the students (as shown to her horrified reaction of seeing T.J.'s friends being threatened by Benedict's ninjas), and that she will protect the students by using her fists against Benedict's men, much to the kids' delight. She even manages to take down Benedict's Dragon from harming T.J., who genuinely thanks her in return. This even applies to Randall himself as even though he enjoys using his snitching skills on his fellow students (mostly T.J. and his gang), he too was horrified to see T.J.'s friends being threatened by several of Benedict's ninjas. He is even more disgusted about Benedict's plot to abolish summer vacation, given to his reaction of witnessing Fenwick attempting to avoid arrest for his involvement in Benedict's plot by attempting to blame Benedict to save his skin, declaring this to be low even for an informant like himself. The rest of the students and teachers follow suit as well, as the students (especially the gang's rivals such as Gelman, Lawson and the Ashleys) teamed up with the gang to take back the school; even the teachers (including Miss Grotke and the apathetic Miss Lemon) provided backup in case Benedict would try to hurt the students.

At the end of the movie, T.J. gives back Becky's diary, and tells Spinelli that he was lying about the extra copies he was going to post on the internet. The movie's official site had an entire section which showed her diary entries (Unfortunately, since 2007, the site is gone and the link to the website redirects to Walt Disney Home Entertainment's page for the DVD). Another meta example. Disney was expecting Atlantis: The Lost Empire to be their bigger two-dimensional animated hit for 2001, with Recess: School's Out as a smaller project. Recess: School's Out ended up as the more successful film. To add to that, the Finnish VHS and DVD copy of Atlantis included the Recess premiere episodes, "The Break In" and "The New Kid" as bonus features. One more meta example: the movie takes place at the start of summer vacation. The video and DVD was released in August, which is towards the end of summer vacation.

But in "Weekend at Muriel's", she appears to be in her early 20s in a picture from 1952. Does that mean she's younger than she looks? (Or even older than she looked?) At the beginning, King Bob crowns the next king of the playground, King Freddie II (who at the time of the movie, was in fifth grade), due to Bob graduating. But in season two, Freddie was shown in the sixth grade with King Bob. (Though when the second season was still being worked on, there weren't any plans for a movie until the season premiered when it got green lit.)

Eventually, after being freed by T.J., Prickly compensated this by nabbing a pair of pants and shoes from one of Benedict's guards after punching them out; he even punches out Benedict in the face while trying to stop him from firing the beam to the moon.

Recess: School's Out / int_fe64d5a1	type	Evil Is Petty
Recess: School's Out / int_fe64d5a1	comment	Evil is Petty: It's heavily implied that Benedict had his goons remove Prickly's pants after bounding and gagging him for no other reason than to humiliate him. Benedict insists that the beam must be installed in Third Street Elementary (even when his scientists point out that it's an inefficient location for the beam to shoot from and the eventual Spanner in the Works of the cast, a Stupid Evil act twice over) because he really, really wants payback for being fired from Third Street Elementary.

Recess: School's Out / int_ff7f34c5	type	Pet the Dog
Recess: School's Out / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Near the end, Ms. Finster happily compliments Miss Grotke for her martial arts skills and suggests a fair sparring between the two to see who has better fighting skills, though Miss Grotke states that she only uses her skills for self-defense. The sweet part kicks in when you remember that in previous seasons, Miss Finster didn't like her very much. Even at the end, Principal Prickly thanks T.J. for dragging him into what's going on with the school, otherwise he wouldn't have known about Benedict's plot. He even cuts some slack by allowing T.J. to spend the rest of his summer vacation with his friends, promising that he will deal with him for his 'saggy butt' comment in September.
