About Recess
- Released on September 13, 1997
Recess is a delightful animated movie that takes viewers back to their childhood, reminding them of the carefree days spent on the playground during school recess. The film centers around six brave fourth-graders at Third Street School who have made it their mission to protect the other kids on the playground. Led by the charismatic T.J, the group consists of Ashley, Vince, Gus, Gretchen, and Mikey, all of whom bring their unique strengths and personalities to the table.
At the heart of the movie is the struggle between conformity and individuality, with the kids fighting against the rule of King Bob and his minions. King Bob is a sixth-grader who has appointed himself as the ruler of the playground, enforcing his unwritten laws and rules with an iron fist. The fourth-graders, however, refuse to be cowed by his tyranny and instead seek to find a rational balance between conforming to the rules and allowing individuality to flourish.
The movie is a celebration of friendship, bravery, and the power of standing up for what is right. T.J and his friends show that even the youngest members of society can make a difference, and that it is possible to stand up to bullies and oppressors, no matter how big or powerful they may seem. With its memorable characters, engaging storyline, and timeless themes, Recess is a must-watch for viewers of all ages. Whether you're a child or an adult, this movie is sure to leave you feeling inspired and uplifted, reminding you of the importance of standing up for what you believe in and never giving up, even in the face of adversity.
