Recess: School's Out

This is the Disney version of South Park: cheeky, sketchily drawn kids in conflict with clueless, tyrannical adults.

Here, summer vacation is under high-tech threat from a rogue teacher--vocally characterized by a comically nasty James Woods--who is easily thwarted by the busy brats. It's a weightless, but not entirely feckless, way to pass a rainy afternoon when your kids are whiney and restless.
