The Magic School Bus heads for the sky and Ms. Frizzle's elementary school students learn all about flying and outer space in this trio of episodes. In "Magic School Bus Gets Lost in Space," a class field trip to the planetarium goes awry, so Ms. Frizzle heads the bus toward outer space for a tour of the planets in our solar system. Arnold's cousin Janet quickly exchanges skepticism for awe and becomes obsessed with gathering proof of her space travels--a quest that ultimately sets Ms. Frizzle floating loose in outer space. The gang returns to space to destroy an asteroid headed for their school in "Out of This World," learning all about orbits, comets, and asteroids along the way. Finally, the class discovers how air movement and wing design affect flight when they take a ride in Wanda and Tim's experimental remote-controlled airplane in "Taking Flight." DVD extras include an interactive "field trip" with onscreen facts about the planets in our solar system; English, French, or Spanish languages; and a DVD-ROM space adventure maze and instructions for building a mobile of the solar system. (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

I love the magic school bus and I found that this set was just as educational as the others. I completly recommend that you buy this and the other Magic School Bus sets because you or your child will learn quite a bit from them. I bought mine for myself and my little brother. He loves it.

This DVD is one of my daughter's favorites. As she says, "It rocks!" I suppose I am to blame for that exclamation. The DVD can be played in Spanish, so she watches one episode in Spanish on weekends to reinforce her second-language skills. Lily Tomlin does not do the Spanish version, but it is still very good. Highly recommended. It is great for a 4-year olds conversation starter (as opposed to "poop," "boogers," and "pootie" (fart).

My kids both LOVE the Magic School Bus videos. My son watched one in Kindergarten and raved about it so much that we bought them all--and we've never been disappointed. We have all learned fun, new facts. The kids watch them again and again.

I don't know why these movies are so highly rated. After viewing it once with my 6-year-old granddaughter, I tossed it! Oh, yes, the animation is good, the story is okay, but the way some of the characters speak to each other is horrible! And there's no lesson about talking "nice" to each other. Children need as much modeling of respect for others, including their peers, as we can give them, not the nasty tones displayed in this movie.
Awesome as usual!!! - Reviewed on 2007-05-14
