Bus, do your stuff! Field trips with Ms. Frizzle are wilder than ever, into space, over to the Galapagos Islands even a plunge into the depths of the Sun itself. And along the way, the kids we know and love bring their science investigations into the 21st century still taking chances, making mistakes and getting messy! Climb aboard for a field trip you’ll never forget. KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Jude A. comments, \u201cThis new DVD brings back the characters we all know and love and doesn\u2019t fail to bring back that hilarious, but educational feeling we get from these fifth graders and their wacky teacher! This DVD doesn\u2019t just deliver a flying school bus and a catchy theme song; it also delivers hilarious dialogue and creative adventures.\u201d Allison B. adds, \u201cWhile watching this DVD, many details stuck out to me. To start, the theme song is sung by Lin-Manuel Miranda! Not to mention that Ms. Frizzle is voiced by Kate McKinnon. Talk about some serious star power. On the topic of Kate McKinnon, she makes a great Ms. Frizzle, as she gives the character the craziness and yet, calm attitude that makes her really come alive. The animation in this show has a very interesting touch. While the character and objects remain cartoonish, the backgrounds look magnificently real, especially when the glass goes to space.\u201d Selene W. wraps it up with, \u201cLove this reboot of the magical series I grew up with.\u00a0 In our household Miss Frizzle can do no wrong as she makes learning complicated science lessons easily understandable and fun.\u00a0 I was worried that our family\u2019s all-time favorite learning series would be compromised in some way, but I\u2019m happy to share that I can\u2019t wait to watch all the new episodes.\u201d See their full reviews below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
