Could Disney be hoping that contemporary kids and their keepers will bond together over this compilation of '60s AM hits disguised as a cartoon soundtrack? Perhaps they envision serious parent-child discussions about the relative merits of the album's two versions of "Dancing in the Streets"--the Martha Reeves & the Vandellas original versus the Britney-fied beats and Whitney-fied melisma of Myra's update. (Hint: Myra tries much harder but achieves much less.) Or maybe they just want to expose the world to Robert Goulet's clueless take on the Lemon Pipers' "Green Tambourine" (a Shatneresque cover that's conspicuously absent from Bob's "16 Most Requested Songs" album). With such good intentions, you can easily forgive them for trying to make a quick buck with this underinspired collection of overanthologized pop, rock, and soul hits. --Bill Forman

Recess: School's Out Reveiw.......2003-10-14

I'm a big fan of the hit t.v. series, Recess. It has mild violence (meaning little kindergardeners beating up ningas), and may want to keep children 3 yrs and younger away from the screen for a couple minuets (don't laugh at this paper if I spell MINUET wrong because I'm only 10 yrs old. I mean c'mon, can't a guy spell a word wrong....everybody does it) though they might keep laughing and maybe you might be laughing (I mean you don't see little kids beating on ningas every day)too.

A Fun CD From A Very Fun Movie.......2001-09-29

Disney's "Recess: School's Out" is the kind of movie you wish would come out more often. It may not be the most intellectually stimulating, thought provoking film to ever grace the movie screen, but then what would it be? What is it is a fantastic piece of entertainment, and the soundtrack follows well in the tradition of the film. Borrowing strongly from hits from the '60s, the soundtrack includes two versions of "Dancing In the Street": the original, and a new version by Disney's latest pop icon, Myra. The CD also has classics like "Born To Be Wild" and "Let the Sunshine In". Also notable is a new rendition of "Green Tambourine" sung by Robert Goulet which can be seen in the credits at the end of the film, and "Recess Suite", a five minute track combining all the different score variations from the movie.

This music rocks!.......2001-08-21

This music is upbeat and great for kids to listen to.One of my personal favorites was "wipeout".If you are reading this opinion I suggest you listen to it if you didn't yet.I like this music alot,you probably would too.RECESS ROCKS!

This soundtrack does not whomp!.......2001-03-08

I thought that all the songs in this movie fit the story really well. It was a great movie especially if you watch the TV show. It was really cool to see a movie go back to 60s music instead of all pop. The new versions of some of the songs are not as good as the originals but they fit in the movie better and are not bad.

This review goes to the movie.......2001-03-05

This movie, is probably the third worst movie we saw on February of 2001, the movie tries to exactly do the same things that the Rugrats movie did, but it fails, for exapmple, in the animation, the jokes try to be funny, but they aren't they are used,they are exactly the same jokes we see on the cartoon, and altough they are new ones, none of them work, also it's a bit stupid, but the soundtrack is great, especially for the Martha and the Vandella's song.
