I also hope the movie will have both Phoebe and Jyoti, the latter was introduced in the sequel series The Magic School Bus Rides Again. The writers of that show sent Phoebe back to her old school. I know they wanted to be more diverse, with Jyoti being Indian-American, but there was no reason to write Phoebe off completely. They didn?t even have her make a guest appearance in either season of that show.

I think only us two have watched the
2 seasons of the netflix reboot and I also think it is mediocre, I completely agree with you with Phoebe not being there and I mean the original cast was already diverse, making it more diverse is fine but why eliminate a very memorable character. I mean in general the designs of the reboot sucks, all of the children look the same except for their skin tone, it also lacks any personality, it feels like a Nick Jr show. A shame that the 90s cartoon with some outdated science is better edutainment for children than this new version.
So much wasted potential.
