Enter Flappy Bob, the clown founder of Flappy Bob's Happy Peppy Learnatorium. Timmy and his friends are enrolled in Flappy Bob's school, and they immediately see all hope of a fun summer dwindling away. Timmy realizes he must find a way to bring fun back to summer, and it's all done through the magic of song.

Family Fun July 27, 2008
Fairly Oddparents is a success for Nick, and rightly so. It belongs to the second generation of Nick's attempts to renovate and revive cartoons. The first generation brought Rugrats, Doug, Ah! Real Monsters, and Ren and Stimpy. With the second generation came Fairly Oddparents, Invader Zim, and a few others. All of which have a unique look, witty writing, and which generally raised the bar for TV 'toons. Similar efforts were underway at Cartoon Network, Fox Kids, and Disney, and each studio has produced cartoons with production values which far exceed anything from a few decades ago.
One not very bright spot has been the effort to create longer cartoon specials and direct to video home DVDs. There are several reasons for that. One, a longer feature helps other studios fill in the space occupied by Disney cinema animation. Two, it provides material for shows like Cartoon Network's Cartoon Theater. Three, it provides a way to directly market already profitable TV shows or movies with direct to video sequels and follow-ups. Nick, for instance, refers to its cartoons as a Nick brand, and attempts to group its products under the well-known orange Nick logo in the manner that Disney does with its own name through its Buena Vista distribution division.
None of which has anything to do with this musical, except to say that it somewhat plays against type. The previous TV animation features I've seen, usually running around an hour, have all been inferior to the regular TV cartoons. Here's the exception. The reason it's an exception is because it's a musical, a lively, likeable, witty one. The songs are Pinky and the Brain smart and Disney singable. The long version is that School's Out: The Musical manages to combine everything that makes Fairly OddParents such a great cartoon, while adding musical moments that stretch, without thinning, the show. Not only that, but the story is essentially a kid-friendly version of Aldous Huxley's SF novel, Brave New World. In short, it's a hit.

The Pixies (Ben Stein) are hilarious in this dvd. The kids love it. The music is great and so is the story. It's better than full feature movies put out by the studios.

I loooooooove the songs in this, my favorite lyric in each of these. Well, starting with Kids Just Being Kids. "Kids just being Kids, close your eyes and count to three". It just adds to the actual fun of the song! Flappy's Song, well...I think it was the very end of it. I can't make out the words, they were singing all at the same time! Pixies Rap, another one! Oooh, "Adults Ruin Everything". Probably...when Timmy sings the last part "now it's kids who rule". 10 And In Charge, this is my favorite, favorite song in it and it would probably have to be when he sings "How can you be so dissapointed? This gets better by the hour. No worrries, no strife, baby, this is the life!" And suddenly....BOOM! Um...Jorgen's Song. It's not the lyrics, it's just that it's funny how he beats up Cosmo and Wanda, but he mostly bothers Binky. This is my sis's favorite, "Where Is The Fun?" my favorite part would have to be..."Where is the fun? Why should I trust you?" Or... "You were the one who wanted to shun everything I always thought fun". Um..."As Long As I'm Floating With You" probably..."I know that I am naggy, I know your naggy too. I know that I'm demanding...oh, man, is that true!" Cosmo made a great save, didn't he? That other song...it's very short but probably when Flappy sang something about that the arcade is closed early. Um..."Hey Flappy Bob, Can't You See What They've Done? (Reprise)" since it's a mix of all the songs except Jorgen's Song and As Long As I'm Floating With You, it'll have to be the finale part which is the Adults Ruin Everything melody or I'm 10 And In Charge melody, but I do like the part where Flappy and Timmy sing "Adults ruin everything, at least that's what I thought. You kids ruined everything, that's the lie I bought". Ok, the final one. Kids Just Being Kids (Reprise). Probably the ending part where Timmy and his friends stand with their families. That was adorable! I did my favorite parts during the song, and Christmas will never be the same once I hear these songs over and over again.
