Sadly all good things must someday come to an end. Today, Candace and Arezou are talking about Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade, the series finale to the popular 90s Disney cartoon.

Reba McEntire and Patrick Swayze play singing dogs, exactly what you would think the sequel to the Fox and the Hound would have. Candace and Mack watched this 2006 direct-to-home film where Copper and Todd take the backseat to the Singin’ Stray band.

This is one of our shorter episodes, but this was a very short movie! Coming in at 65 minutes we have a couple of things to say about Rabbit, Roo, and Tigger. We also read some extremely harsh reviews from Rotten Tomatoes. No one, even Winnie the Pooh, is safe from online critics.
