Tuesday at 05:44 PM1 day CB Team It's just been confirmed that Elizabeth Banks will both produce the film and star as Ms. Frizzle in a live-action Magic School Bus movie, with Rob Letterman directing.My big question is, who is this for? Do kids even know Magic School Bus? Or is this a '90s revival for millennials with their own kids?
Tuesday at 07:01 PM1 day CB Team I don't think many kids these days have even heard of it, honestly. It's probably more for us to introduce it to our kids. Maybe they have plans to try to bring it back and want to test the waters.
Tuesday at 07:17 PM1 day Author CB Team They already brought it back! There was a whole show on Netflix!
Yesterday at 12:37 AM1 day CB Team A lot of kids know what the Magic School Bus is, even if they don't avidly follow it. The name still has value to it for families, and if they knock it out of the park, I think it could be a fun franchise.
Yesterday at 02:51 AM1 day Tubi has the original Magic School Bus cartoon, Netflix did a remake, the books are still around, and I doubt kids have never seen some of any of these things from school at one point or another. The real question is, the magic school bus can go anywhere and anytime. Where will it go? Will it go several places in one movie?
Yesterday at 04:34 AM1 day CB Team I feel like this one is for us olds and even we aren't especially interested.
