They've done it again, those crazy kids from the Recess gang. The animation and voice-overs were top-notch (as usual).

It's a great movie for kids and adults alike. I recommend it for anyone aged 1-100. The plot is a little hard to follow for about the first 2/3 of the movie, but it all falls into place at the conclusion. It's well worth that first little bit of confusion.

The special effects: Matrix (need I say more?). If this movie doesn't win at least one Oscar, it will be an injustice that I won't be able to live with for weeks.

So, in short, GO SEE THIS MOVIE!! You won't be disappointed. :)

Disney's "Recess," based on the popular cartoon series, may be the first aminated movie to be qualified for the first ever Oscar award for best amimation. Althought the amination isn't up to par with the recent animation films, but "Recess" has plenty of heart.

The film has everything, from noisy kids to villians who wanted to get rid of recess, to ninjas. The children aren't dumb-down brats, they are smart kids, and the movie proves it. And yes we do learn a lot about the teachers' past, in this throwback to the 1960's.

It's the most fun I ever had so far in 2001. "Recess Rules!"
