WesternAnimation Good Back Then, Even Better Now!
When I began watching this show I was the same age as the main cast and watching it again now makes me realise two things: 1) I still don't have as much swag as these guys do and I probably never will and 2) Nostalgia filter aside this show is still really good. It turns out that Disney's Recess wasn't just a fun little kids' show but actually contained a series of social metaphors and clever jokes that went right over my little nine-year-old head.
Recess was a good show then and now you'll probably think it's even better!
WesternAnimation One of the greatest animated series by Disney
Recess is probably one of the greatest animated shows I've ever seen. I didn't catch the show premiering (too young to remember), but I definetly remember starting to watch it during its' second season.
The show had excelent characters, a realistic yet cute art style, great episodes, and some awesome voice acting. Everyone's voice suited their characters. Like Hey Arnold and Ka Blam, Recess also primarily used a kid cast for the kid characters.
The show doesn't have too many flaws. The only ones I can find are the digitally colored episodes usually have weirder animation, making them look like the cutscenes in a Humongous Entertainment game from the mid-1990s. Also, I really loathed Myles Jeffrey's portrayal of T.J. in the direct-to-video movies; he just sounded too wimpy.
Looking back, I think I enjoy this show more now that I'm older, as I get more of the jokes that flew over me as a kid. But with it's witty humor, sly inside jokes, and lovable characters, we can all agree that Recess was nothing short of, "Tender".
