00:00You're relaxed and feeling good. Next thing that you know, you're seeing
00:18surfing on a sound wave, swinging through the stars.
00:29Take a left at your intestine, take your second right past Mars on the magic school bus.
00:35Navigate a nostril, climb on the magic school bus.
00:39Spank a fainting tooth, on our magic school bus.
00:43Rocked a river of lava, on the magic school bus.
00:47Such a fine thing to do.
00:49So strap, so strap your bones right to the seat.
00:52Come on in and don't be shy.
00:55Just to make your day complete, you might get baked into a pie on the magic school bus.
01:01Stuck, stuck, stuck inside, it's a wild ride.
01:04Come on, ride on the magic school bus.
01:20Where's wardrobe?
01:21Come on, come on.
01:23These are the new versions of the revised versions of the alternate pig hats.
01:28Hmm, kind of sort of too floppy.
01:30Huh.
01:31Lights?
01:33The second version of the revisions of the new design.
01:39Hmm, kind of sort of not flashy enough.
01:42Come on people, this play means a lot to me, so everything has to be perfect.
01:46Hello, my little performance artistes.
01:48How's Three Little Pigs rehearsal going?
01:50I can't wait to see it tonight.
01:52This is the sequel, Miss Frizzle.
01:54The pigs on high rises now, and the wolf is back for a hurricane of revenge.
01:58Ooh hoo, it sounds action-tastic.
02:01Let's do this.
02:05Okay people, take it from the last, huffing and puffing.
02:08And so the three pigs went into hiding from the big bad wolf,
02:11in the third pig's lofty brick condo tower.
02:14The sky in the sky.
02:16And here comes the wolf now.
02:19What time is it, Little Pigs?
02:21Uh, noon-ish?
02:23Ha ha ha, silly pigs, it's revenge o'clock.
02:30And trumpets, and cattle drums, and wind sounds.
02:37Perfect.
02:38And so the wolf huffed and puffed, but the brick held strong.
02:43Eventually the wolf got dizzy.
02:47Was arrested by police, then sentenced to a maximum security wildlife sanctuary.
02:51The end.
02:52Great show! Ooh, your parents will be so proud, Keisha.
02:56I hope so. I hope everyone likes it.
02:58Keisha?
02:59Janet?
03:00I don't mean to be a stickler.
03:02I just am, and I'm afraid your so-called scenery is not believable.
03:08This is obviously made of fake bricks.
03:11One real huff and puff, and splat!
03:14Down it goes, I bet.
03:25You expect us to use real bricks?
03:28You used real straw and real sticks, didn't you?
03:31Well, of course, but...
03:33Sorry, but I just can't enjoy things that aren't realistic.
03:36I guess my scenery standards are just higher than yours.
03:41She didn't like the bricks, but talking pigs didn't bother her?
03:44Worry not, class. Never let one person's opinion precipitate on your parade.
03:48But she's not just any person, Miss Frizz. She's a person with a blog.
03:51Janet Reviews plays online.
03:53Her blog's called Theater Buzz, because one bad review can cut you down.
03:57Like a buzzsaw!
03:59Ah! My feelings!
04:03Maybe she's right. Maybe the show isn't quite right... yet.
04:07Okay, people. Janet wants realistic, but we'll do even better.
04:11Scientific!
04:12Scientific?
04:13We'll make an actual brick building that's tougher than any wolf.
04:17Huh.
04:18Tougher than any wind, and tougher than any critic.
04:21But how do we do that?
04:22How do we do that, Jingle Jingle of the Keys?
04:26A field trip!
04:27Seatbelts, everyone!
04:29A field trip!
04:30Seatbelts, everyone!
04:32All right, Buzz. Let's do this.
04:42Wow! We're in the middle of... a field?
04:45With a nice... view?
04:48I'm okay with this. I was scared we'd end up inside a pig.
04:51Welcome to Mount Washington, kids.
04:54Mount Washington? Nice!
04:57I don't get it. Why are we here when I've got a show to fix?
05:00Ah! It's a surprise!
05:02You'll see why I picked this particular place presently.
05:05Oh, boy! I love surprises!
05:07As long as they don't bite, sting, or taste like marmalade. Yuck!
05:10Okay, let's get this thing started.
05:12Esteemed director, what is our mission?
05:16We need to give pig number three the sturdiest, strongest,
05:19most wolf-windproof sky in the sky ever!
05:22That's the spirit!
05:23My new vision for the sty in the sky can be summed up in one word!
05:28Loud?
05:29Heavy! We need real bricks! Heavy bricks! The heavier, the better!
05:34But bricks? Out here?
05:36What do we have here?
05:47The Magic School Bus Auto Brick-O-Mator!
05:54But where are you getting the sand, clay, and shale?
05:57Where are they being baked and cooled?
05:59It's magic! Just go with it!
06:01Okay, people! Let's stack those bricks!
06:04This is awesome!
06:09Heavy bricks sound like a great idea!
06:12Until you have to carry them!
06:14Of course they're heavy! That way no wolf will ever be able to blow this tower down!
06:19Okay?
06:23Whoa!
06:40Awesome! Cool!
06:43Yay! We're done!
06:45And now, let's test it!
06:47Excuse me? What do you mean, test?
06:50According to my research, engineers don't just hope their buildings stand up to the wind.
06:54They test their designs to make sure!
06:57Step aside, class! Step aside!
07:02We're going to use our favorite bus's fan to make sure your sty in the sky can stand up to high winds,
07:08from super storms to windy wolves!
07:14A teeny little breeze! Is that all again?
07:21Never mind!
07:27So far, so good!
07:29Uh-oh! So far, so less good!
07:32It's raining bricks!
07:34The sty in the sky can handle a few missing bricks, but this is too many!
07:38Look out!
07:39Stop, guys!
07:40Unless you want bricks for brains!
07:42Watch out!
07:43Whoa!
07:48Big bad Janet won? Sty in the sky?
07:51Zero.
07:52Well, class, I have to say that was...
07:55Amazing!
07:57Huh? What?
07:58I thought it was a disaster!
08:00But, Tim, first of all, it was loud, which is always great.
08:04And second, we learned so much!
08:07Ms. Frizzle, I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but...
08:11Huh? She means we can learn from our mistakes!
08:14Really? That means I should have learned lots over the years, and yet...
08:18So now we do know how to make the sty in the sky so it won't fall down!
08:23Keisha, I had a couple of thoughts for a new sty in the sky design.
08:27As the artist playing Pig 3, my character has a few ideas, too.
08:30The second act could use some...
08:31More special effects!
08:32I have another idea!
08:33Thank you! Really, all of you!
08:35But I'm the director! The only way to make this work is to do it my way!
08:39But other people have ideas?
08:41That's terrific! And they can use them when they direct their own plays!
08:45Okay, guys, listen up!
08:47We need to build the sty in the sky strong, with bricks stuck together to make it really solid and rigid!
08:53Not bad!
08:54Cool! Stuck together, huh?
08:57Sounds like you need some...
09:01Goop?
09:02No, not goop! It's magic mortar!
09:06Got it!
09:07Alright, let's grab a brick, slap some goop on it, and get to work!
09:12We need these walls to be good and solid!
09:19Work fast, guys! Ms. Frizzle says magic mortar sets almost instantly!
09:24Now she tells us!
09:26Did I mention this model also comes with a shingle spitter?
09:29Well, it does.
09:33Oh, good! So we get to make the roof, too!
09:35I know! Isn't it great?
09:37Let's go, everyone! Bricks, mortar, shingles! Bricks, mortar, shingles! Bricks, mortar, shingles! Bricks, mortar, shingles! Bricks, mortar, shingles!
09:45Bricks, mortar, shingles, and we're done!
09:48That wasn't so bad, was it?
09:50Guys?
09:51I'm so tired my eyelashes hurt!
09:53I'm so tired my shoelaces hurt!
09:55I'm so talk, I can't tired right!
09:58I'm so tired right!
10:03Okay, folks, let's get testing!
10:10It's holding up pretty well so far!
10:12Super well!
10:13Yeah, the rigid walls are holding together!
10:16But why is the roof rattling so much?
10:19Huh, good question. Let's find out.
10:21Hey, bus? I'm gonna need a box of J99-17s, please!
10:29You're going to see things in a whole new way with these wonderful Wowza windy 3D glasses!
10:37Whoa!
10:38We can see the wind! Red for fast, blue for slow!
10:41Why don't you check out that roof?
10:43The wind over the roof is going fast, but the air inside's protected from the wind. It's hardly moving at all.
10:50Huh, I wonder what that's reminding me of.
10:58Hey, look what's happening to the air over the airplane wings!
11:02According to my research, air goes faster over a wing than under it because the wing is curved on top.
11:07So the air underneath pushes the wing up.
11:10So the roof of the building is trying to fly like an airplane wing?
11:14What an uplifting idea!
11:16Whoa, look at the corners!
11:19The swirling there is out of control!
11:21Oh no, without the roof there are a lot more weak spots!
11:25I don't know, do you think that mortar will...
11:29...hold?
11:30Making things windproof is tougher than we thought.
11:33Ooh, all these beautiful mistakes, kids! Isn't it fabulous?
11:37Maybe to you, but to me it's a disaster!
11:41We have to start again!
11:42Okay, but this time...
11:44Alright folks, we need more mortar and better bricks! A new roof, a new everything!
11:52Guys, the show must go on!
11:54Yeah, but I'm not sure I can!
11:57Me neither.
11:58Can you change the bus back, Ms. Frizzle? I think we want to go home.
12:01Yeah, we're done.
12:03Guys, wait!
12:06You're my crew! You can't just give up!
12:09We just want to go home.
12:11But if you'll just let me explain...
12:14Huh?
12:21No!
12:22Where's the stop button on this thing?
12:28Now, like I was saying, the play is so important to me.
12:31Because it's a story my parents used to tell me when I was little.
12:34And...
12:36What?
12:37What's happening?
12:38Actually, Keisha, you didn't press the stop button.
12:41I didn't?
12:42Nope. You pushed the Get Rooted button!
12:45Get Rooted?
13:13Where is everybody?
13:15No way!
13:17Well, you did want them to stay.
13:19We can't move!
13:21Whoa!
13:22What's with the wind?
13:23Ooh, here it is, right on time!
13:25What's on time?
13:26It's the surprise I was telling you about! It's perfect for a final wind test.
13:30The weather report says that today, this is the country's most blustery bluff.
13:39And we're all stuck here?
13:42We're doomed!
13:45There must be a Get Unrooted button here someplace.
13:53Boss, what are you doing? You want everybody to stay as trees?
13:57Actually, that's not a bad idea.
13:59But the wind! Nobody can run for cover or...
14:02Think about it, Keisha. If they could, what would they hide behind?
14:08Trees!
14:09Trees!
14:10They'll be fine, and so will we!
14:12As my Uncle Sycamore used to say,
14:14For countless trees, a storm's a breeze!
14:17I am on a roll today!
14:20I can hear myself creaking!
14:22So weird! I'm totally drinking through my toes!
14:27This storm's really kicking in!
14:29Hang on!
14:30Whoa!
14:31We're tipping over! Help!
14:34Wait, we're not tipping over! We're swaying!
14:39Actually, so are we!
14:41They're not blowing over! They're safe!
14:44Well, they're better than safe! They're having a blast!
14:47Hey! Yeah!
14:48Whee!
14:49This is extremely cool!
14:52Yeah!
14:53Whee!
14:55Bring it on, storm! We can take it!
14:57You know, within reason.
14:59I don't get it. How can trees made of wood be stronger than walls made of brick?
15:03Huh, I don't know. Why don't you ask the wind?
15:06Arnold, the wind's sliding right past you!
15:09But can you make it stop tickling?
15:12Sounds like someone's ready for a little wind rafting.
15:15Surprise! It's you!
15:21I don't know, Ms. Frizzle. This looks sort of...
15:24Cool!
15:27Check it out, Quiche! My trunk is super solid!
15:30And I'm not even flexing!
15:32But we're round, too!
15:34So the wind doesn't push us, it just goes round.
15:37Whoa!
15:38And over top!
15:40See you, wind!
15:41Hey, Carlos! I'm a sugar maple! What kind of tree are you?
15:45I'm not sure, but thanks for asking!
15:48Carlos!
15:56Whoa!
15:57Ms. Frizzle!
15:59And off we go! With the flow!
16:02Through the leaves!
16:04And out the other side!
16:11Hey, are those your roots down there, too?
16:13Yep! And if we hold our roots together, there's no way we'd tip over!
16:18You know, buildings should have roots, too.
16:21They kind of do, like a basement or foundation.
16:24Makes sense. The bunch of weight is underground.
16:26The wind has a way harder time tipping me over.
16:29Sorry, wind. You lose!
16:31That's great and everything, but all this swaying is making me tree-sick.
16:36Ah, that's your aeroelasticity showing, Arnold.
16:39You mean swaying with the wind instead of braking?
16:42Aero-zactly!
16:44Okay, class. I'd say the danger's diminished.
16:47Now can I press the Get Unrooted button?
16:50Absolutely, Keisha. Let's make like a tree and leaf all this behind!
16:54It was great!
16:56Yep, that was great!
16:58Um, excuse me, everyone. Can I have your attention?
17:01We should have hidden her megaphone.
17:06Guys, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have been stuck on my own ideas.
17:11I should have listened to you more.
17:13I should have been more, you know, flexible, not so rigid.
17:17You mean aeroelastic?
17:20But mostly, I should have thanked you all for your hard work. I'm so, so grateful.
17:24Aw, thank you.
17:26Aw, thanks, Keisha.
17:28But still, we have a show to put on. Right, guys?
17:31Yeah!
17:32So, who's got ideas?
17:34Well, we should make a star in the sky that's more like a tree.
17:37That star that's deep in the ground like roots. Or a basement.
17:40And if we add something springy to the mortar, the walls could have aeroelasticity.
17:44You know, within reason.
17:46And we should sell snacks at intermission at a huge markup.
17:48Then t-shirts.
17:49Theme parks.
17:50Make bunch of Hollywood tentpoles.
17:52With giant billboards on the moon.
17:54I've already got some drawings.
17:56These look perfect. Anybody else?
17:59That wind was nothing against the trees.
18:01I like the idea of a foundation.
18:02We can make it invincible.
18:19Looks good and rounded. How's the springy mortar working?
18:24Aeroelastic!
18:25Wow! Perfect!
18:27Hey, Keisha, I've got an idea for the ending.
18:30What? Are you kidding? The ending is perfect!
18:34But... let's hear it.
18:38Gracias, everyone! Top of act one!
18:44Welcome, Janet. I hope you enjoy the show.
18:47Yes, you do.
18:50Fairy queen!
18:51Earthquake, wake up!
18:53Wake up!
18:54Fairy queen, wake up!
18:55What's wrong?
18:56Can't hear you.
18:57Get out of my way.
18:58What's wrong with you?
18:59Get out of my way!
19:00I'm sorry, Keisha.
19:01Stop what you're doing, Janet.
19:02It's not like I'm supposed to be doing this.
19:04But you're doing it anyway.
19:05What could go wrong?
19:06Fairy tales begin with once upon a time and end with happily ever after.
19:11But what if the end was just a new beginning?
19:14Look at the time, little pigs. Why, it's revenge o'clock!
19:25Ready, set, epic!
19:36Whoa! Whoa! Pigs, into my sky in the sky!
19:45Keisha?
19:50It's working! The wind's curving around the rounded base!
19:53And it's flexing instead of snapping!
19:56Speaking of snapping...
19:58Whoa! That wind's too much! It must be a real big bad wolf!
20:03Run for your lives!
20:17And the third little pig's building, inspired by nature,
20:20withstood the wolf's hurricane wind and kept everyone safe.
20:26Even Janice! The end!
20:33Uh-huh. Yeah. Yay!
20:41First, the good news. My family loved the play!
20:45And now the bad news. Janet only gave us one star.
20:49I know! Isn't that great?
20:52Let's see here. Headline reads,
20:54Three Reasons to Skip These Pigs.
20:58Story, excellent. Okay.
21:00Performance is solid. Set's strong.
21:03In fact, I was blown away, literally.
21:06Then what's our problem?
21:08The special effects are too scary, too windy, and too stressful!
21:12Uh-oh. Will this mean we won't sell any more tickets?
21:16It probably does, Arnold.
21:18Because you can't sell any more tickets
21:20when you're a runaway success and completely sold!
21:23You can't sell any more tickets
21:25when you're a runaway success and completely sold out!
21:28Woo-hoo! Yeah!
21:30Thanks, guys!
21:45Hi, I'm looking for the Magic School Bus.
21:47Is this the Magic School Bus?
21:49Magic School Bus?
21:50Is this the Magic School Bus?
21:51Hi, I'm looking for the Magic School Bus.
21:55Magic School Bus?
21:56Magic School Bus?
21:57Over.
21:58Magic School Bus?
21:59Is there still Autobus Magico?
22:00Bonjour, je cherche l'Autobus Magique.
22:03I'd like to speak to the Magic School Bus, please.
22:10Professor Frizzle, Ph.D. at your service.
22:14You okay, Professor? You sound funny.
22:16You think I sound funny now? Wait till I start making jokes.
22:20Anyway, I had some questions.
22:21When the kids became trees, they were way bigger than any I've ever seen that high up on a mountain.
22:26You're right. Usually trees are smaller that far up, but we wanted to show how strong big trees can be against the wind.
22:33There was a storm in my town once, and some trees lost branches, and one even fell down. Why?
22:38Well, sometimes a branch of a tree dies and can't sway, or is simply too weak to handle a really strong wind, then it can break off.
22:47And if a whole tree dies or weakens, or if it's not well-rooted, the whole thing can fall right over.
22:53Whoa, that sounds dangerous.
22:55It can be. That's why it's important to follow instructions when there's a storm.
23:00It's so cool that skyscrapers can sway in the wind, but don't people get sick from going back and forth like that?
23:06That's why modern skyscrapers have huge heavy pendulums inside called tuned mass dampers.
23:12They slow down the swaying so the people inside hardly notice.
23:16That's amazing! Thanks, Professor. Bye.
23:19Call any time. Bye!
23:23Speaking of calling... Fish! Fishy, fishy, fish! Time for school!
23:42Fish! Fishy, fishy, fish! Time for school!
24:12Fish! Fishy, fishy, fish!
24:42Thanks for watching!
25:12See you next time!
