The Magic School Bus Rides Again

Note: this film is not an official Festival selection, but part of a special event.

Featuring Kate McKinnon, Lily Tomlin, and a brand new theme song by Lin Manuel Miranda! The kids are back at Walkerville School for another school year of astonishing, out-of-this-world field trips in this all-new reimagining of the iconic science-comedy-adventure series The Magic School Bus. But this year, there’s a new Frizzle (Kate McKinnon)! The younger sister of the famed Professor Frizzle (Lily Tomlin) has taken over the classroom! Worry not—the new Ms. Frizzle shares her sister’s zany ways and a passion for science. Field trips this year are wilder than ever, into the clouds, across the internet, riding the continents—even a plunge into the depths of the Sun itself! And along the way, the kids we know and love bring their science investigations into the 21st century: still taking chances, making mistakes, and getting messy! -Netflix
