[Beep beep]
Pass me that one next,
Phoebe.
Ok, ralphie.
It's going to be a model
Of the solar system.
Neat, huh, janet?
I hate to tell you,
Cousin arnold,
But when my class
Built one,
The sun was so huge,
We had to hang it
From the flagpole.
And you had
All planets?
That's right, keesha.
Mercury, venus,
Earth, mars, jupiter,
Saturn, uranus,
Neptune, pluto.
My class already studied
The solar system.
I bet you your class
Didn't learn about
The aliens that live
On the planets.
For your information,
Ralphie,
Earth is the only planet
That can support life,
As far as we know.
And how far do you know?
[Laughter]
Really far because
I got straight as
On all my tests,
And this proves it.
If you already
Know so much, janet,
Why did you come
To visit our class?
Because arnold told me
All about your field trips,
Dorothy ann.
What did he say?
That they were--
And I quote--
"Highly unusual."
And you know what I said?
Prove it!
She's really nice
Once you get to know her.
Oh, good morning, class.
Have you all met
Arnold's cousin--janet?
All:
Yes, ms. Frizzle.
My teacher doesn't
Dress like that.
That's nothing.
Sometimes the friz
Looks totally
Outrageous.
Well, since we're lucky
Enough to have
A guest today,
I'd say it's a perfect
Time for a field trip!
Yes!
All right!
Hey, cuz, now's your
Chance to prove it.
I wonder where
We're going today.
Inside a rotten log?
Been there.
To the bottom of the
Ocean? Done that.
We're going
To the planetarium?
Hardly unusual, arnold.
The friz
Taking us on
A normal field trip?
Believe me,
That's unusual.
Ms. Frizzle:
Hmm hmm hmm. How odd.
Closed today.
Closed?
Well, looks like we'll just
Have to go back to school.
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Some field trip, arnold.
You know what?
My teacher would
Have called ahead
Because
My teacher plans ahead.
My teacher never
Makes mistakes.
My teacher is
A zillion times
Better than your--
Nobody is better
Than ms. Frizzle.
Oh, yeah?
Prove it.
Stop the bus!
[Tires screech]
Yes, arnold?
Isn't there,
You know,
Someplace else
You could take us?
You mean...
Another planetarium?
Well, sort of,
But bigger!
Bigger?
You know.
The big one.
Oh! Arnold,
Why didn't I think of that?
"T" minus and counting.
, , , ...
Blast-off!
Janet:
What's happening?
All but janet: a field trip!
Into outer space?
Highly unusual.
Welcome to outer space,
Class,
The only planetarium
Open hours a day,
Days a week!
And how are
All my astronauts doing?
[Students laughing]
We're weightless!
We're in trouble!
No, arnold,
We're in orbit
Around the earth!
Hmm. Let's see, now.
We are just about...
There.
Wonderful!
Let the tour begin!
We're coming up
To the sun.
Tim:
Look how huge it is!
Ms. Frizzle:
Class, are you all wearing
Your special heavy-duty
Sun block , sun goggles?
I wonder how many earths
Would fit in the sun.
Over a million.
Hold on to your goggles!
Yee-hah!
So, class, we've
Traveled from earth,
Around the sun, and now
We are on our way to--
Mercury, the closest
Planet to the sun.
When I tell my class,
They're gonna be so jealous.
Students:
Wow! We're landing!
Ms. Frizzle: of course!
Arnold:
Told you, janet.
We hardly weigh
Anything compared to
My old planet earth.
I wonder if that means
There's less gravity
Pulling on us here.
Exactly, keesha.
Good thinking.
Come along, class.
Follow the bouncing lizard.
This way, please.
[Students laughing]
Bet I can jump higher
Than you, dorothy ann.
You're on!
I won first place
In my class jumping contest.
Here's my blue ribbon
To prove it.
Wait till I tell my class
I won the jumping contest
On mercury, too!
But you know what
They're gonna say?
What?
Prove it!
How on earth--
I mean, how am I gonna
Prove I was on mercury?
Ralphie:
Man! The aliens on mercury
Sure make big footprints.
Nothing can live on
Mercury, ralphie.
It's too hot and dry
During the day.
And, according
To my research, way
Below freezing at night.
And day or night,
There's no air,
Which makes it
Extremely difficult...
[Inhales]
To breathe.
Well, something had to
Make tracks this big.
Something did,
Ralphie.
A meteorite.
Meteorites are pieces
Of stone or iron
That fall from space.
Come along, class.
Carlos:
If the ones that
Hit the planet
Are called meteorites,
What do you call
The ones that miss?
Wanda:
What?
Meteorwrongs!
[Students laughing]
Wow!
Janet, what are
You doing?
Hey! Watch it!
Eureka!
My very own meteorite!
When I show
This to my class,
It will prove
I was on mercury.
Ohh, janet.
Ride 'em, cowbus!
Wa-hoo!
Ms. Frizzle:
We are now approaching--
Janet: venus, the second
Planet from the sun.
I can't wait!
I can't wait!
I can't wait!
Wanda:
Cool! Venus has clouds,
Just like earth.
Wow! What a view!
Uh, I think I'll
Go...sit down now.
Come along, class.
Hey! Unh!
I feel like I weigh the same
Here as I do on earth.
That's because
Venus is about
The same size as earth
And has about
The same gravity.
Come on, arnold.
Check out
Those weird clouds.
Oh, good!
A little rain will
Cool the place down!
Except that's not rain water
In those clouds, wanda.
It's sulfuric acid.
Sulfuric acid?
Mm-hmm.
It's a deadly poison.
Oh, we're
Perfectly safe
As long as we keep
Our spacesuits on.
[Students gulp]
I like rocks,
But this is ridiculous.
Unh!
Do you have to have
All of these?
Absolutely.
If this doesn't prove I
Was on venus, nothing will.
Ms. Frizzle:
We're now passing
Through the orbit
Of the third planet,
Which is earth.
Phoebe:
Look. It's so beautiful.
And there's air
We can breathe.
Keesha:
And it's not
Too hot
Or not too cold.
Arnold: the only one
That supports life.
Janet: and coming up
Is mars...
The fourth planet,
Right, ms. Frizzle?
Very good, janet.
Ooh, you certainly
Do know your planets.
I got straight as
On all my reports.
All: we know! We know!
Enough already!
Ms. Frizzle:
Ah, here we are, class.
Take a look at mars.
How marvelous!
Tim: it looks like
The whole place
Is rusting.
No wonder it's called
The red planet.
As you can see,
The soil here is
Colored by red dust,
Which has iron in it.
Look at those
Cliffs of ice.
Wanda:
Ice climbing, anyone?
Wow!
All right!
No, thanks.
Too cold,
Too slippery.
Too right.
Who wants
To waste time
Climbing up
An old icecap,
Anyway?
Come on, cuz.
We've got
Work to do!
Janet, stop! Maybe I
Should've stayed home today.
Wanda:
We've made it to the top!
Keesha: I wonder if mars
Could have been another earth
If it had water
And wasn't so cold.
Hmm, maybe.
But as I always say,
Mars is the best place
For ice cream.
Ralphie: ice cream? Where!
Here! I...scream!
Woo woo woo woo!
[Boing]
Woo woo woo!
Let's go!
All: I scream!
[Students laughing]
That's the last ice block.
Great! Now for
Some red dust.
On earth, I had
Simple little chores--
Emptying wastebaskets,
Feeding the fish,
Clearing the table.
Unh!
Unh!
The only thing is,
We've been to mercury,
Venus, and mars so far.
And we haven't seen
A single--uh!
All: alien!
Tell it we surrender!
Hi, guys.
Which way's the bus?
All: arnold!
I knew it was him
The whole time.
Ha ha!
Ahem.
Mars ice and dust.
Enough to prove
We were on mars.
No need to thank me.
I don't think
There's much chance
Of that, janet.
Look! A flying potato!
Janet: that's no potato.
It's an asteroid, ralphie.
A hunk of space rock
Smaller than a moon, but
Bigger than a meteorite.
Ms. Frizzle: it's part of
The asteroid belt,
A ring of asteroids
Which divides
Our solar system
Into the inner
And outer planets.
[Ding]
Whoa!
Whoa!
What happened?
An asteroid!
Ha ha! I've got
To have one!
Please. It will
Only take me a second.
Watch out!
Ralphie: what was that?
Dorothy ann: what happened?
Phoebe:
What's going on?
Ms. Frizzle:
Don't worry, class.
Just an unexpected
Orbital interruption.
Let's just see
Where we are,
Shall we?
The map!
It's gone!
[Students gasp]
We're lost in space!
Students: we're lost
In space!
As I always say,
There's nothing
A good space
Mechanic can't fix.
Wrench.
Wrench.
Pliers.
Uh! An asteroid.
I mean, pliers.
Screwdriver.
An asteroid.
Perfect proof!
Tim: ms. Frizzle, we've got
Half of the map now.
Good.
One more adjustment.
Oops!
Ms. Frizzle!
Ms. Frizzle!
Ms. Frizzle!
Ms. Frizzle!
Keep your claw
On that button, liz.
Up, up, and away!
Um, heh heh. Bad news.
Janet, we're not
Only lost in space...
We're lost in space
Without a teacher!
What are we going to do?
What are we going to do?
What are we going to do?
[On radio]
Ms. Frizzle to class.
Ms. Frizzle to class.
Come in.
No reason to panic.
I'd never leave you.
I'm right here.
I'll give you a hint.
I'm headed for one
Of the outer planets.
Tim: but that's the half of
The map that we don't have.
Ms. Frizzle:
Ha ha! Good.
You can fill it in
As you go along.
You've got a navigator who
Knows the neighborhood.
We do?
Ms. Frizzle:
Of course--janet.
[Janet chuckles nervously]
Keesha: I wonder if
Ms. Frizzle's down there.
Tim: wow! Which
Planet is that?
Janet: one of
The gas giants.
Keesha:
What is that red blotch?
Janet: it's a storm
Thousands of miles wide.
And the only planet with
A big red spot is jupiter.
Dorothy ann: jupiter,
The fifth planet.
Students:
All right, janet! Way to go!
Now, if I could just get
Some of that red spot,
It would prove I've
Been to jupiter.
Ms. Frizzle to bus.
Ms. Frizzle to bus. Over.
Jupiter is
The largest planet.
But don't worry, carlos,
Because I'm not on it.
Then where are you?
I've got to have
Some of that red spot!
[Alarm]
Carlos:
We're out of control!
Janet, pull up!
Pull up!
It's all yours,
Ralphie.
Whoa!
All: janet!
Chill out, guys.
If you visit jupiter,
You've got to have
Proof, right?
I knew
I should have
Stayed home today.
Ms. Frizzle to class.
Ms. Frizzle to class.
Come in, please.
Ms. Frizzle,
Janet almost got us--
I got them some of
Jupiter's red spot.
Did you say "red hot"?
You're not even warm yet.
The outer planet I'm on
Is very cold and dark.
The colder you get,
The warmer you'll be
To finding me.
Oh, great.
Now it's a riddle.
Off we go again.
Dorothy ann:
Hey, look!
Another planet!
Phoebe:
It's beautiful!
Keesha: but where are we?
Janet:
It's got to be saturn.
There's no other gas giant
With such beautiful rings.
Saturn,
The sixth planet.
Keesha:
Well, it must be cold
Down there because saturn
Is pretty far away
From the sun.
But ms. Frizzle
Said cold and dark.
It could be very, very
Dark on saturn.
Oh, no, you don't!
You just want to
Grab more stuff.
Hey! I'm just trying to
Help. If you want to play
"Let's find ms. Frizzle
Without a map"
For the rest of your life,
That's fine with me.
Hmph.
Janet's right.
Ms. Frizzle
Could be on saturn,
Couldn't she?
Ok, arnold,
But it's your job
To keep your crazy
Cousin under control.
Ms. Frizzle to bus.
Ms. Frizzle to bus. Over?
Liz and I
Can't wait to show you
All the stars
We can see out here.
Oh, it's so beautiful.
Come back!
What about a hint?
She just gave us
A hint, ralphie.
Ralphie: she did?
Yeah! She can
See the stars,
Which means she
Can't be on saturn.
She could never see
The stars through all
Those storms and clouds.
Planet number
Coming up.
Janet: that must be uranus.
You can tell by
Its tilted, faint-gray rings
And its blue-green gases.
See, cuz, uranus doesn't
Do a thing for me.
So you can get off me, ok?
Sorry, janet,
But I have to stay
On top of the situation.
Tim: the friz couldn't see
The stars through
Those clouds, either.
Phoebe: no way
She's on uranus.
To the next planet!
Janet: wait! I need proof!
And we need ms. Frizzle!
Step on it, wanda!
Hey, watch it!
Janet: neptune! Please!
We got to stop
At neptune!
It's my favorite planet!
Dorothy ann:
The eighth planet--neptune.
Tim: looks like another planet
Surrounded by gases.
Phoebe:
And it's blue.
Blue! My favorite color!
Forget it, janet.
Ms. Frizzle couldn't
See the stars
From down there.
Go, wanda!
Janet: no!
Now where do we go?
She's not on
Jupiter, saturn,
Uranus, or neptune.
That means there's
Only one planet left.
Tim: which one?
I'll tell you
After arnold gets off of me!
Right.
Listen carefully. Ms. Frizzle
Is on the farthest
Planet from the sun--
Pluto.
Wanda: to pluto!
Dorothy ann: pluto is cold
And dark, all right.
Carlos:
And clear! They've
Got to be here.
Ralphie: look!
Phoebe:
There they are!
All: yay!
Good work, class!
We knew you'd find us,
Right, liz?
Sure can see the stars
From here.
I wonder where the sun is.
See that tiny
Star over there?
Uh-huh.
Well, that's it.
That's the sun?
Mm-hmm.
No wonder pluto's
So cold and dark.
Look how far away
The sun is.
So the colder
We got,
The warmer we got
To finding you.
It was a good hint,
If I do say so myself.
I got enough stuff for all of us
To prove we made it to pluto.
All: huh?
Well, what are you
Waiting for? Let's go.
Are you kidding?
There's no room
In there!
All right. Be that way.
Whoa!
There's no way I'm going
Home without my stuff.
There's no way
I'm going home
Without you.
It's proof! Nobody will
Believe me without it.
I'll believe you.
They'll believe you.
Janet,
You want proof?
I'll give you proof.
Here's proof of what
Will happen to you
If you stay here
With your stuff!
Arnold, no!
Oh, cuz!
Back to earth!
And step on it!
[Ah-ah-ah-choo]
Thanks, janet.
Arnold, it's the least
I can do.
If it weren't for you,
I'd still be on pluto
With all my stuff.
I don't need
To prove anything.
That was the most
Amazing field trip ever!
You know it.
I know it.
If no one else believes me,
That's their problem.
Right on!
Wanda:
Way to go, janet!
Tim: you said it.
[Ah-choo]
[Laughter]
Boy: attention,
All students!
We've just learned that
Scientists have made
Their first contact
With an alien from outer space.
An alien.
Wow!
Ralphie was right.
Oh, my.
The alien,
Claiming to be from pluto,
Has called to complain about
A pile of litter
That was recently dumped
On his planet.
All: ralphie!
Ha ha ha!
As I always say, class,
You're out of this world.
[Laughter]
Is this
The magic school bus?
Is this the magic
School bus?
Overlapping voices:
Is this the magic school bus?
Magic school bus?
Magic school bus?
Both: magic school bus?
Overlapping voices:
Magic school bus?
Kids:
I want the magic school bus!
[Telephone ringing]
Hello? Magic school bus.
Female voice: don't you mean
"The twilight zone"?
That show had more
Science fiction than fact.
Well, we realize
A school bus
Would make
A lousy spacecraft.
I'll give you that one,
But only because you call it
A magic school bus.
But there's no way
Any spacecraft could visit
All planets in a day.
Well, if we did it
In real time,
You would be
A grownup by the time
We got to pluto.
Speaking of pluto,
Scientists don't really know
What its surface is like.
You're right,
But until one of
You kids grows up
To be an astronomer
Or an astronaut
And figures out
What pluto is like,
We have to guess.
Also, pluto right now
Isn't the ninth planet
From the sun.
Until , it's temporarily
Inside neptune's orbit.
Right again.
What about those
Funny-looking sun goggles?
I happen to know
You should never look
Directly at the sun.
Hurts your eyes.
You're one bright kid.
So how come
Some of the time
The kids were
Floating around in the bus?
Well, when the bus
Was coasting with
The rocket engines off,
They were weightless,
Like astronauts.
Oh, yeah. So how come
They were able to walk around
In the bus sometime?
Well, would you, uh...
Believe
An artificial gravity
Geoscopic confabulator?
Ha ha ha!
No way.
Ok, you got me.
We just fudged it.
And don't think
I didn't notice
That you had all the planets
Lined up in a neat little row.
Oh, that.
Well, it's true
That planets
Are very rarely all
Lined up like that.
Yeah. Like, almost never.
But it's so much
Easier to keep track
Of them all that way.
You wouldn't want us
To have forgotten one,
Would you?
And another thing:
If an astronaut
Ever does make it to pluto,
She'd better not
Take her helmet off.
You think they'd
End up with more
Than a cold, huh?
She'd end up a block
Of ice, or worse,
Which reminds me
Why I called
In the first place.
Yes?
I'm still waiting
For someone
To get that pile of litter
Off my planet.
