When I was young, there was a show called Magic School Bus that was based on books written by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degan.
They made it into a cartoon series staring Lily Tomlin as Miss Frizzle a fun teacher who would take her kids on adventures through the universe, someone's body even under the sea. You get to learn interesting facts while watching.
There were fun characters in it as well. Mostly her classmates and a pet lizard named Lizzy.
But this version on Netflix, is NOTHING LIKE THIS!!!!!
First off, the voice acting by Kate McKinnon is decent and that might be the only thing I can say positive about this version that they called "Magic School Bus Rides again"
However, this doesn't excuse itself to destroy the reputation of the original cartoon that I've grown to know. No way at all.
All these kids are carbon based, annoying and they all look alike by their design. The voice acting on the kids, I'm not gonna be hard. Maybe they don't even know and thought it was just going back to the old one.
Lily Tomlin is in it, but she isn't the main character. Miss Frizzle hands off the duties to her, daughter I guess. And they do the same thing they did in the old show. But it's for a different generation. For my opinions, IT SUCKS!
Netflix has been doing many reboots. Even Peabody and Sherman are suffering the same fate, but it's not as bad as, this. This has to be, without a doubt. The worst Magic School Bus cartoon they have every created.
Kate McKinnon is very talented. Maybe she's just doing this for different reasons. This is not one of her bests.
I don't want to harsh on anyone's feelings over this show, but if Netflix keeps doing reboots on great shows, there is no stopping how bad it can get. On the plus side, Netflix does have the other version that I love and grew up with. I watch that on occasion. I miss the original, and this doesn't help. If anyone likes this, whatever. Good luck to you.
Ciao Bloggers and Netflix watchers. Beware your favorite cartoon might be rebooted soon before you know it.
