His words were so true. It made me realize that every adult was a kid at one point, and for each new generation it needs strong adults who remember what it’s like to be a kid.

This guy is the reason i kept in touch with my old grade school teachers. Keep your inner child

As an adult the line about treasuring his childhood memories about summer vacation hits harder than back when i first seen the scene as a kid. RIP Mr. Coleman.

I wish real adults learned and grew like this. What a great movie!

As an elementary school teacher myself I’d give up half my summer to get a principal as good as Prickly.

From one of the villains to becoming an actual great man. Character development at it's finest. I mean before he wasnt even against shortening recess, getting rid of it or any other thing. But because he valued summer vacation and it was in danger he got to remember why he even started and came out as a bigger man. Also the voice actor couldnt have been a better pick. Rest in peace, man.

this show understood how much adulthood sucks

Such a freaking good principal character who really understands their students.

Was scrolling through my home page and saw this. RIP Dabney Coleman, happy you've lived a long life.

I did not know that fella passed away this month. God bless him. I'm sure he did a great job for voicing the principal in Disney's Recess (it's one of my favourite Disney TV programmes of all time).

I honestly think I am going to miss Dabney Coleman just for his role as Principal Prickly alone. He will be missed.

Started rewatching this show again last year. Fitting since I work at an elementary school part-time. The kids are great. I hope they enjoy childhood to the fullest.

For those of you wondering, this song had been stuck in my head since the 2000s, its called aquarius/let the sunshine in by the 5th dimension, really good old school funk. RIP Dabney, you were in everything and i didnt even realize how prolific you were.

One of my favorite childhood movies and definitely one I think back on fondly as a nudge in reminding my _sometimes rebelling teen self_ that adults are just older kids. I know that now more than ever in my 30's with my saggy butt.

That's sad but...92 years...thats a good solid run. Thanks for the memories!!!

*Fact:* Dabney Coleman was also the voice of Mayor Jerry from _Pound Puppies._

Really appreciate you putting the voice actors name and not the characters name. It’s fine to only know them for one role (like me) but I always find it disrespectful when people ignore the person behind the voice

This really bummed me out. I loved Recess and I even re-watched the movies recently just for a little nostalgia trip. The adults in the show were actually really well developed with scenes like this. They were more than just the uptight teachers acting as obstacles for the kids to overcome. Dabney Coleman definitely contributed to Prickly feeling more human with a genuinely great performance.

R.I.P Dabney Coleman you will be missed by all of the many people who has ever loved you and cared about you.

Man, Let the Sunshine In is the perfect song for that kind of uplifting ending.

Oh my God! That was him?!? Incredible! As an adult I totally understand the point that he makes. What he says is all too true.

I watched 10 seconds of this video, paused, and watched the entire movie again, and now I'm back here

Though I don’t know much about him and didn’t watch much of Recess, it’s always a shame when a talented actor and voice actor leaves us. Goodbye, Mr. Coleman

He lived long and he prospered. In loving memory, we will see him again even if it's not in this world.

Another great show that tackled serious issues in a not serious way and was an actual enjoyable show

Ah Recess, man I love this show ❤ The cast was top tier 😊

Recess was an absolute gem, and is probably one of the best-aged kids shows on TV, with a wide cast of both kids and adults that, between them, show the spectrum of childlike fun and mischief contrasted with mutual respect and self-discipline. In a world that was full of "adults suck" shows, this was the one that showed me that even a lot of the stricter adults still had another side to them. God rest your soul Dabney.

RIP He was my favorite, tough but fair, authority figure growing up. T_T

that man has left his mark in this world and he will not be forgotten R.I.P

And this movie in particular still defines summer for both of us and is one we both watch every year as soon as our vacations start. No summer without it, as we say. Thanks for reminding us of the good times and keep them as precious memories!

Damn his voice just fits the charecter so flawlessly

I love Dabney Coleman. He was a great actor and principal. I'll never forget him

This speech has lived strong in my mind ever since I first heard it as a little girl. It struck me hard then- and then more so as I’ve become the adult he warned us I’d become. To learn this…… my God. Farewell, Principal Prickly. Farewell, Dabney Coleman…. Thank you so very much for one of the most profound lessons of my life.

Honestly Principal Prickly is one if the reasons this movie is one of my top 10 favorite Disney Movies. Especially the speech he gave to TJ about adults and their summer vacations when they were kids. It's a lesson I've always carried with me in my heart. Rest In Peace Principal Prickly (Dabney Coleman) sir. You will always be remembered by us Third Street adults who grew up with the show. 🙏🏽

I love love love going down memory lane an see my favorite movie/tv show make me feel like I want to go back and be a kid again 😺😺😺

Farewell principal Prickly, thank you for your work on recess.

I remember adults in my life telling me similar things when I was a kid, that I shouldn't be in a hurry to grow up, enjoy being a kid while I can because it goes fast and you'll miss it when it's gone etc. and I remember not believing any of it, that adulthood was forever away and that with all the freedom, no longer having to go to school, and no rules from parents was going to be so awesome and something to look forward to. But they were all 100% right, and so was Principal Prickly. Childhood is something you cannot appreciate until it's gone. It's a cruel irony of life that spares no one.

Thank you Dabney Coleman not just to be apart of our Childhoods both to teach us and Value the Things we Got and to show us something Important about our Childhoods and Adult Lifes that makes us Rethink we aren’t so Different.

Thank you, Principal Prickly. ❤ 🕊️💐

It hits harder as an adult. Because he’s right, those memories are all we’ve really got left as kids. Maybe some comics or games or other toys, but it’s just really driving home now that those halcyon days are gone for most of us. And it hurts. But what can do other than remember the good times and smile? That’s life, always changing us in one way or another. Just, don’t forget, yeah?

RIP Mr dabney coleman aka principal prickly, I may not have known you in anything else you've been in, but thank you for voice acting the principal to one of my favorite cartoons of my childhood. Also the ending song is a perfect fit.

Yes, He will truly be missed. Recess was a part of my childhood cartoons

Wow, i never knew that. Peace to the fallen

RIP Mr. Prickly. The man who taught me the value of childhood while I was still a child myself.

He's An Amazing Actor

These quotes hit so deep now, me pushing 30. Where did my childhood go.😢

“You were good, son, real good. Maybe even the best”

This video is how I learned the news. Thank you. It's just a shame you didn't let it run further, with Pete smiling and staring out proudly.

Prickly really was something else. I didn't hate him as a character, but I almost always took TJ's side in their little feud. But then, when TJ accused him of not caring about summer vacation and he stood up, I just knew he was gonna give an impactful speech. And now, in my late twenties, I can say that I relate to him more than ever. I miss being a kid. I really do.

RIP to a legend! I will always remember his performance on Recess.

Rest In Peace, Dabney Coleman.

Another childhood for ever in my heart❤. God Rest his Soul.

What an absolute legend

Aw man that sucks, he was a good principal. Definitely rewatch the series forsure

This man was a gift and his portrayal of Principal Peter Prickly was genuinely something magical. Whether matching wits with T.J. at school or literally saving summer from a megalomaniacal rival, Principal Prickly was the best. I hope Mr. Dabney Coleman led a good life because, for his portrayal of Principal Prickly alone, he deserved it.

Thank you for all the memories 😢

He was such a good actor

This was precious. RIP 🙏

I do remember watching Recess growing up. The voice actor behind Principal Prickly though, this was the only role I will associate him with. Never watched anything he did else. It was unfortunate he is this 2024 no longer with us. RIP fellow Disney legend.

This hits so hard being 32 now…😢😢

This was actually a fire ass show.

Man, loved that show! Rest in peace 😥

Such an inspirational speech. May we never forget those words ❤❤❤
