Magic School Bus coming back to netflix

I just found out about this. I was randomly looking up original Magic Schoolbus episodes for some reason. Forgot what episode I was originally trying to recall. Anyway, I saw the first ep of this newer series. It felt like a slap in the face when they said Phoebe went back to her old school. It was weird. The animation style is just weird to me. It feels like the kind of animation you'd use if you're parodying something or something for a gag to make fun of the original. It's a bit jarring.

The kids...um...boring? Guess that's the word. Maybe as the show goes on the kids get more interesting. I did find Arnold annoying, which is ironic because I favored him for the original...but yeah, the kids seem very uninteresting. No heroic Wanda moments or DA being overbearing with her knowledge and stuff like that.

So for those who have watched this show, do the kids show any of the personality traits that the original kids did at any point?
