Toon Sports: The Kindergarten Derby (Recess, 1999)

 From season 3 of Recess:

Ashamed of his own failures in "The Kindergarten Derby" years earlier, Mikey (Jason Davis) refuses to participate in the current event, until a boy named Tubby (Davis in a dual role) persuades him to be his coach.


Mikey did have a point. The kindergarteners were being exploited in an athletic competition not unlike some of the stunts on Nickelodeon's family of game shows back then. However, Tubby brings a happy ending to the event, as we see.

Rating: B.
