UniversalPics I'm hoping that both Phoebe from the original series & Jyoti from the new show will be in this movie. I think it was nice to add diversity with putting an Indian-American character in the sequel show, but Phoebe & her 'at my old school' comments were missed in the Netflix show.

UniversalPics Elizabeth Banks?! “Miss Brant, get me a violin!”

All right!

NOOOO

Who the heck asked for this?

This is a good choice.

Elizebeth Banks?

UniversalPics I developed and produced the original series at Nevlana oh so long ago and have always wanted to be Ms. Frizzle! It would be so amazing to be a part of this again. Hasmi

UniversalPics My childhood ! 🥰😍

The Magic School Bus was my childhood show as a kid. I hope they keep Ms. Frizzle's students diverse like the show, make Izzy the iguana cute not a CGI abomination, make Ms. Frizzle's students kids not teenagers, don't make the bus's face look like a horror movie. Hope it's good!

UniversalPics Can I be in the film

Live action/hybrid? Wonder what that will look like and whether or not it will be as good as the animated series

Yikes! Another thing for Elizabeth Banks to ruin.
