The Magic School Bus is going somewhere it’s never gone before: to the big screen. On Thursday, June 25, Scholastic Entertainment and Brownstone Productions announced that Elizabeth Banks will play Ms. Frizzle in the Magic School Bus movie. Despite taking field trips to outer space and inside Ralphie’s body, the movie will mark the first time Ms. Frizzle and her class have appeared in a big screen production since the franchise began 26 years ago, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Ms. Frizzle’s adventures first began as a series of books by Joanna Cole and illustrator Bruce Degen, before becoming a popular ’90s animated series on PBS in 1994. Since then, The Magic School Bus has become a staple in classrooms thanks to the show’s ability to make science fun and easy to understand.
