I remember enjoying this film as a kid and was happy to buy it cheaply on DVD to revisit a small bit of my childhood.
I think the film stands up well today. OK, it's not the best animation Disney have ever done and it probably relies on a knowledge of the original Recess cartoons, but really it is an enjoyable enough film with lots of laughs along the way.
It tells a good story and James Woods is great as the bad guy. Watching it now as an adult I can spot the jokes aimed at adults and compared to most of the twaddle that is made in terms of kids films these days, Recess;school's out is a pleasant and appealing change.
So if you're looking for a fun family film I wouldn't hesitate to try to hunt down a copy of this one.
