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."

This show NEEDS more Film Theory episodes. There's so much to unpack! Does Ms. Frizzle teach any other kids? Are there any other teachers in this school? Where did Bus come from? Was it a regular school bus at one point? If so, how did Ms. Frizzle give it life? What are the physical ramifications of all the transformations the kids going through?

That scene with Arnold traumatized me as a kid. The first time I saw it, I straight-up cried, and my classmates had to reassure me that Arnold had survived. 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.

[@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.

Those two episodes seem to stand out in my memories as well. I wonder why. I can certainly think of a few more if necessary, but those two really left an impression.

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."

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.

[@wolfiemuse]

Another video with Dan, another opportunity to tell him and everyone who filled in for Mat they did great jobs!

[@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!

[@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

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.
