Clappy Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Wow look at that YouTube like/dislike ratio... ...I surprisingly didn't mind this trailer. Yeah the animation isn't as impressive as I was expecting, somehow I like the 90s animation more than this modern one. I am all for a new Magic School Bus for this generation. I think Kate McKinnon is a great replacement for Lily Tomlin as Mrs. Frizzle's sister from the city. Lin Manuel Miranda's remake of the theme is really catchy. My hope is that the new generation this is meant for finds this as educationally entertaining as I did with the original series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel the Wolfgirl Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I'm excited for this. The idea of bringing back this classic appeals to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katniss Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 The animation isn't the greatest, but I like the new theme and Kate McKinnon's character seems cool. I don't mind this modern update so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Sejima Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 If there's much of a point besides them riding solely on brand recognition like with Death Note, I wouldn't mind watching this for nostalgia purposes. Besides that it doesn't really look too special at all to make me remotely interested, and it's not just because I'm not in the target demographics anymore.

crushingmayhem Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 It looks basic at best. Sure the animation has changed since the original series, but I think it should've had better animation to it. Can't really say much since its new but we'll see how it fares.

Young Nug Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Love Kate McKinnon and LOVE Lin Manuel Miranda but this just looks like a cash-in reboot honestly. And where the fuck is Arnold? I can't say I'm very excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMM Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) I'll have to wait until there's more development to this but probably a lot of people will still put on the originals anyway over this. When I was watching the original I noticed the realistic yet bouncy animation which made everything easy to understand but still fun, I guess? Just sort of unappealing to look at for long times. I only see a point in this if they come up with new topics otherwise it's just redundant to me. 9 minutes ago, Clappy said: He's there. They got rid of the Afro. Is he the one in the green sweater? :/ Edited September 6, 2017 by MMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylie Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 not particularly impressed by this animation, but i guess i'll wait and see for the real thing. definitely a cash-in for those with nostalgia goggles on but @Mr. Dr. Professor Patrick practically had a heart attack over it so there's definitely an audience.

4EverGreen Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I was hoping that if they ever DID bring back "The Magic School Bus," that they would focus more on the time travels into history (there are at least a couple of "Magic School Bus" books out there that have seen Ms. Frizzle and the children traveling into the past; one dealing with Imperial China and the other dealing with famous scientists in history). But this might be good, to. I'll reserve judgment until I actually see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much a replacement given that she acts nothing like Ms Frizzle from the trailer I saw and lacks so much of the charm that made the character great.

To paraphrase Heath Ledger as The Joker from "The Dark Knight", : "Dr. Who, is CONSTANTLY replaced with actors who act nothing LIKE each other, nobody bats an eye. Ms. Frizzle is replaced ONCE by an actress who acts nothing like the original, and everybody loses their MINDS!!!!" Why don't you actually WATCH the special before you make a judgment, okay?

Good point. Never judge a book by its cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
