Netflix is rebooting the magic school bus but this time it's computer animated.

Be interesting to see where this goes. I watched the original a lot as a kid. Hopefully it will be good.

agreed
 

I was very fond of it as a child as well. Hope it brings as much joy and education to the generations youths that it gets exposed to as it did with the original .

This is gonna be interesting for sure. 26 eps is alot for Netflix! Unfortunatly we won't be seeing this for another 2 years.

it...could be good?

I liked the old series, it was cute in some ways.

Guess I could give it a try???

I was only ever mildly curious about this show and watched a handful of the original back in the day, it was of a higher standard than most edutainment cartoons of it's time and currently, no idea if this revival will be as sharp.

I kinda hope this is a gritty reboot.

I never minded watching the show and the would read the books books in stores as a kid, for an educational show it was good. interesting to see other generations are discovering it on Netflix. The new show being CG seems like a good fit, I'll probably try re-watching the original show and this new show when it launches.

What I find more interesting is how Netflix decided to choose this show to revive, ratings be damned now Netflix can really gauge interests in shows they want to revive, we might see other cult classics revived by them. We've seen they've done great with their original series, let's see how they do with action shows like the upcoming Marvel shows they have and now we can see how a CG show would look.

Meh. As much fun as it was to shrink down into Ralphie's scab...I would've been more excited if they were rebooting Recess.

One of the few educational entertainment cartoons I enjoyed because they took time to expand the characters equally with the scientific learning, but I wonder if this new computer animated cartoon version has something unique to offer besides just the animation.

As cool as it might be with computer animated effects, it all boils down to the storywriting, otherwise people will just stick with the original.

A fave of mine as a kid

Great formula for an education kids show. I see no reason why it can't work again.

I always liked that show. I remember I had a point and click game for it when I was in elementary school, and played it all the time. I'm glad they decided to reboot this! :)
