Film Theory: The DEADLIEST Magic School Bus Field Trip!

[@smileyeagle1021]

The best part about the OG run of The Magic School Bus was the segment at the end where the show would have "kids" call in to call the show out and the producer would essentially say, "look, this is a 20 minute show meant for kids, we can't do everything right in that time for that audience, the word magic is in the title, just go with it."

A few years later, we watched it _again,_ and I didn’t cry, but I _did_ have a panic attack because I had forgotten how horrific Arnold’s frozen head looked, resulting in the classmates to either side of me having to calm me down.

[@NintenRob]

The really fun part about Magic School Bus, is that some of this stuff they actually explain after the episode. With the producer explaining to kids over the phone and explaining how they skim over some information to fit the 20 minute runtime. It's frankly genius and really respects the intelligence of kids watching

I feel like it’s worth pointing out the fact that it looked like it took Arnold basically no effort to take his helmet off implies that all of the kids would’ve been long dead from oxygen leakage within like 5 minutes.

[@joshuarose9545]

TBH, I always approached The Magic Schoolbus much like the Tardis in that its abilities extend past the edge of the bus. In the same way that the Tardis can mask your clothing and language to help appear normal anywhere in time and space, the magic schoolbus was ALWAYS in control of what was going on, down to putting protection over the students and the frizz outside of the bus. Frizzle is always so confident that everything is going to be ok, because the truly understands the power of the bus.

Its a cartoon made to entertain, and the whole fact that its NOT realility at all. Guess what, The teenage mutiant ninja turtles would be causing mass death around the city they live in and major concerns would be put towards finding the mass murderers. Ohh but wait, thats ignoring the fact that its a bloody cartoon made to entertain children!! SO they dont portray that at all.

I feel like Dan should take over for MatPat sometimes even when Mat's voice is perfectly fine, its nice to hear a new voice every now and then

[@acutedog9189]

Yeah! Give him a special spinoff or somehing, like with Austin

[@AmeliaOak]

What do you mean? Have you never noticed that MatPat has two voices in every episode?

[@Vancix606]

At the start I didn’t realise it was Dan lol

[@EMGaks]

​@@acutedog9189Exactly! Mayble every channel could have a guest speaker who takes over every now and then

[@kaimagnus5760]

​@@acutedog9189Austin isn't with Theory anymore. He's back on the shoddycast channel. Apparently KZbin doesn't like split channels like that anymore.

[@v4verbatim]

You guys should do a follow-up theory for this! I think I heard a theory years ago about Miss Frizzle's class being clones of her original class, since they would obviously die a few times on field trips. It was a theory used to explain a few minor details about the show including the helmet scene. I'd love to see someone else cover it!

[@strangecolouredbird]

*ex fecking use me*

[@masedaace5473]

I heard that theory. Then again, the same guy who proposed it also claims that the Frizz is a gender bent time traveling Arnold with his only evidence being Frizzles love of pickels and a vague picture in her house, so I'm not sure how reliable he is...

I actually like the idea that each member of the crew should join in and do a theory and narrating the video themselves

[@SnoozeMagoo]

I think you guys are missing the mark. The real story here is how powerful the bus is. It’s magical on a massive level. It’s not “The Technologically Possible Bus.” Also, you’ve done a great job narrating this week!❤

[@MattiaBulgarelli]

Definitely this. Everything boils down to "the Bus and its equipment are magical and are able to safely do impossible things". VERY IMPOSSIBLE THINGS.

[@tdrtheboss780]

The bus is magic but with no limits

[@wmdkitty]

"Magic", pfft. That thing is a TARDIS, and Ms. Frizzle is a Time Lord.

I remember watching that episode as a kid and being very unnerved when he froze solid. I also seem to recall that, at the end of the show, it was an extraterrestrial being that called in to the producer to factcheck the program.

[@lostboysonce3133]

That, and they wanted all that junk off their planet.

[@ariannay766]

yesss i remember that too

[@Sollysink]

Having Head Editor Dan come on is like when your "tries to be cool" teacher Matt is out and they bring in the chill relaxed substitute teacher that just sits back all day. It's very nice.

[@hermiona1147]

Matt, Dan and Stephie have their own unique ways to read the script and that's really cool

[@scaper8]

Agreed. I kind of wish that they (and the others on the team, I bet they'd all bring a different energy to different scripts) would take over recording duties once and awhile even without a "reason." I'm sure that they rarely do due to KZbin and their stupid algorithmic points, and that would do _x_ bad thing to _y_ and _z_ metrics; but I still wish it would happen.

[@avalpsychicguy]

Not gonna lie, Arnold taking off his helmet was probably what turned me off from fantasizing about space travel for the rest of my life. It totally freaked me out, and I wouldn't be surprised if I had nightmares about it. I don't remember a single moment when I've ever actually wanted to go to space, because I'm terrified of something like that happening.

[@ajshiro3957]

The paper that parents signed to approve that their child can go on these field trips must have been massive

[@brandonmelendez1941]

they must not give two shits about their children 😂

[@ParallaxOfTheVoid]

They probably don’t even know about these trips so no paper works I guess

[@rodian_skypyratz6181]

In adition to the dangers of space, Frizzle has also taken her students on trips like inside other students. That's gotta be a serious biohazard. Frizzle should be behind bars for negligence, child endangerment, and maybe driving an unregistered vehicle.

[@smileyeagle1021]

Forget the biohazard, that is a major invasion of privacy... and I don't care whether or not the kid gave permission, there is a reason that children aren't allowed to give consent to certain things, and having your entire class enter your body definitely should be on the list of things that a child shouldn't be allowed to give consent to.

[@Jig_up]

5:29 I feel compelled to say here, that, although I’m sure it just had to be simplified for the sake of the time, molecules do not “release heat” upon collision, per say- they can transfer energy in the form of heat (their kinetic energy) between one another, but the collisions are not converting their kinetic energy into heat. It doesn’t help that heat usually specifically refers to transferred thermal energy, and not the the thermal energy itself, but still; the wording used makes it sound like kinetic energy was somehow being converted to thermal energy, while in reality, the kinetic energy just is the thermal energy, with heat being the energy transferred between two systems of different temperature (average kinetic energy). I don’t blame you for not getting into the weeds of it in this video, and I apologize if this comment sort of sounds like disorganized rambling (because I’m tired, and it is), but it felt hard to leave it be. Anyhow, thanks for the video, and I wish all of Team Theorist well

[@JoelBrewton]

This episode is essentially a much more brutally honest version of the Producers Phone Call segment at the end of every episode. For those of you who weren't around in the 90s, every episode of "The Magic School Bus" ended with a segment in which "The Producer" of the show would receive a phone call from a fan who would then proceed to point out the more fantastical elements of the episode and how the kids shouldn't go thinking that it's possible to go to outer space on a bus. It was just a bit of fun, and an easy way to add a few more educational beats in before the end credits. This episode of Film Theory takes that concept and dials the honesty all the way up to 11.

[@Sisi_Kitkatss]

I absolutely loved those segments. I loved the music when the scene started, the producers answering questions, Liz doing some random antic that sometimes defied what the producer said, all of it was so fun to me, I'm not sure why, but I really don't care, I just loved them, I'm really glad that they kept playing the show in schools even after it stopped airing, otherwise I would've missed out on an incredible show!

[@blakerenimu9033]

To think that the most graphic and traumatizing episode was the very first one all along.... The image of Popsicle Arnold has been stuck in my brain since forever

[@bigjalapeno7061]

Yea I never knew it was the first one. It was surprised when they said that

[@alex_zetsu]

9:06 I always remembered that while the kids end up in scary situations, Miss Frizzle was always close enough to push a button on the bus to do something to get them out of the situation and they were always safe when they wandered off away from the bus. I rewatched a few episodes last week and that's mostly true... except this episode. Worse, she was the one who wandered off and made turning finding her into a game.

[@ЭнхмөнхУ]

Alex bale did a theory at it and you know if two of the greatest theorists channels are doing a theory on a same show you know the lore is a LORE

I believe the moisture on top of his skin would freeze almost instantly creating a similar look in the cartoon. Also I think the main message is that dangerous teachers are the best.
