YMMV / Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade

Go To

  • Anvilicious: "Grade Five Club".
  • Broken Base: One half of the fanbase loves the movie, the other found it to be So Okay, It's Average or hated it because they felt it wasn't a satisfying conclusion.
  • Contested Sequel: Most fans think of it as either good, okay, or average, but general consensus is that it's a good film, but not to the standards of Recess: School's Out, and that for Disney Direct to Video standards, it's one of the best (even if it's not a sequel to a film in the Disney Animated Canon).
  • Fridge Brilliance: Prickly being the only one to notice TJ dangling from the roof despite being on the other side of the street might seem a little far fetched, considering the large crowd outside his house that should have heard him screaming for help. But there's the thing; the did hear him. The only problem was that they couldn't see he was making his way to the roof to continue his protest; as far as they were concerned, TJ was calling for help from the safety of his bedroom. Prickly, sitting on the other side of the street, was the only one with the periferal vision of the house to see TJ dangling off the side of the roof.
  • Mis-blamed: There have been fans complaining about Mikey and Gus's "new voice actors" in the film. Both of them has the same voice actors they did in the show, but sound different due to puberty (Courtland Mead's [Gus] voice was beginning to break, and Jason Davis' [Mikey] voice had already broken). The only member of a gang with a new voice is T.J.
  • Replacement Scrappy: King Freddy II is this for fans of King Bob. Though he's seen as this in-universe.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Myles Jeffrey replacing Andrew Lawrence (and, to an extent, Ross Malinger) as the voice of T.J. was not very well-liked among some fans.
  • The Woobie: Spinelli in "A Recess Halloween".
