Please hand me that, would you
ok,Ralphie
lt's going to be a model of the solar system. Neat, Janet?
l 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 nine planets?
That's right, Keesha!
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
My class already studied the solar system.
l betcha your class didn't learn about the ALlENS 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?
Really far, 'cause l got straight A's on all my tests.
... and this proves it.
lf 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 l quote, ''highly unusual''.
And you know what l said? ''Prove it!''
She's really nice once you get to know her.
Good morning, class. Have you all met Arnold's cousin, Janet?
Yes, Ms. Frizzle.
My teacher doesn't dress like that.
That's nothing. Sometimes The Friz looks totallyoutrageous.
Well, since we're lucky enough to have a guest today,
l'd say it's a perfect time for a field trip!
All right! To the bus!
Hey, Cuz.. now's your chance to prove it...
l wonder where we're going today.
lnside a rotting 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.
Hmmm, how odd. lt's closed for the day.
Closed?
Well, looks like we'll have to go back to school.
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--
NOBODY... is better than Ms. Frizzle.
Oh yeah? Prove it!
Stop the bus ,Ms. Frizzle
yes, Arnold?
lsn't there... you know... some place ELSE... you could take us?
you mean another planetarium?
Well, sort of, but bigger.
Bigger?
you know, the Big One!
ARNOLD! Why didn't l think of that?
T-minus five and counting... four...3...2...1 ...Blast off!
What's happening?
A FlELD TRlP!
lnto outer space?!?! Highly unusual!!!
Welcome to outer space, class.
The only planetarium open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week....
And how are all my astronauts doing?
We're weightless!
We're in trouble!
No, Arnold, we're in orbit around the earth!
Let's see now. We're just about... there!
Wonderful! Let the tour begin!....
We're coming up to the sun.
Look how HUGE it is!!
Class, are you all wearing your special heavy-duty sunblock 8,000 sun-goggles?
l wonder how many Earths would fit in the sun.
Over a million!... Hold onto your goggles.
So, class, we've travelled from Earth, around the sun,
and are now on our way to Mercury!
The closest planet to the sun!
When l tell my class they're going to be SO jealous!
Wow, we're landing?!
Of course.
Told you, Janet!
We hardly weigh anything compared to my old planet, Earth!
l 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.
Bet l can jump higher than you, Dorothy Ann!
you're on!
l won first place in my class' jumping contest. Here's my blue ribbon to prove it.
Wait'll l tell my class l won the jumping contest on Mercury too!
But you know what they're gonna say?
What?
Prove it!
How on Earth... l mean... How'm l going to prove l was on Mercury?
Man, the aliens on Mercury sure make big footprints.
Nothing can live on Mercury, Ralphie. lt's too hot and dry during the day.
and according to my research, it's REALLy freezing at night.
And day or night, there's no air,
which makes it extremely difficult to breathe!
Well, SOMETHlNG had to make tracks this big.
Something did, Ralphie -- meteorites.
Meteorites are pieces of stone or iron that fall from space.
Come along, class.
lf the ones that HlT the planet are called meteoRlTES,
what do you call the ones that miss?
What?
Meteor-wrongs!!!
What are you doing, janet, watch it!
Eureka! My very own meteorite!
When l show this to my class, it'll PROVE l was on Mercury!
Oh, Janet...
We're now approaching...
Venus! The second planet from the sun!
l can't wait! l can't wait! l can't wait!
Cool! Venus has clouds just like Earth.
These clouds are pretty!
l better sit down, l guess.
Come along class.
Hey, l feel like l weigh the same here as l 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 rainwater in those clouds, Wanda. lt's sulphuric acid.
Sulphuric Acid?
lt's a deadly poison.
We're perfectly safe as long as we keep our space suits on.
l like rocks, but this is ridiculous.
Do you have to have all of these?
Absolutely! lf this doesn't prove l was on Venus, nothing will!
We're now passing through the orbit of the third planet which is... Earth!
Look -- it's so beautiful. On my old planet, there's air we can breathe...
And it's not too hot or not too cold.
The only one that supports life...
And coming up is Mars, the fourth planet. Right, Ms. Frizzle?
Very good, Janet. you certainly do know your planets.
l got straight A's on all my reports
We know! We know! Enough already!
Ah, here we are, class. Take a look at Mars! How magnificent!
lt looks like the whole place is rusting.
No wonder it's called ''the red planet''.
As you can see, the soil here is coloured by red dust which has iron in it.
Look at those iceburg.
lce climbing, anyone?
All right! Way cool! Great!
No thanks. Too cold. Too slippery.
Too right! Who wants to waste time climbing up an old ice cap anyway!
Come on, Cuz -- we've got work to do!
No, thanks, janet. l'd stay at home if l knew we gotta do this.
We've made it to the top!
l wonder if Mars could've been another Earth if it had water and weren't so cold...
Maybe, but as l always say,
Mars is the best place for ice cream.
lce cream? Where?
Here! lCE CREAM!!
Let's go!
lCE CREAM!!
That's the last ice block.
Great! Now for some red dust.
On Earth, l had simple little chores.
Emptying waste baskets, feeding the fish, clearing the table...
The only thing is, we've been to Mercury,
Venus and Mars so far and we haven't seen a single...
ALlEN!
Tell it we surrender!
Hi, guys. Which way's the bus?
Arnold!
Aww... l knew it was him the whole time.
Stop it!
Mars ice and dust ... enough to prove we were on Mars.
No need to thank me.
l don't think there's much chance of that, Janet.
Look! A flying potato!
That's no potato. lt's an asteroid, Ralphie
a hunk of space rock, smaller than a moon but bigger than a meteorite.
lt's part of the ''asteroid belt'',
a ring of asteroids which divides our solar system into the inner and outer planets.
Hey! / What happened? / What's going on?
l gotta have an asteroid!
Watch out!
What was that?
What happened?
What's going on?
No worries, kids, let's figure out where we are now.
The map! lt's gone!
We're LOST lN SPACE!!
As l always say, there's nothing a good space mechanic can't fix. Wrench.
Wrench.
Pliers.
Asteroid... l mean pliers!
Screwdriver.
An asteroid. Perfect proof.
Ms. Frizzle, we've got half of the map now!
Good! One more adjustment...
MS. FRlZZLE? MS. FRlZZLE?
Keep your claw on that button, Liz. you've given me the most WONDERFUL idea.
Um... bad news ...Janet, we're not only LOST lN SPACE...
We're lost in space WlTHOUT A TEACHER!!!
What are we going to do? What are we going to do?
Ms. Frizzle to class. Ms. Frizzle to class. Come in.
No reason to panic. l'd never leave you. l'm right here!
l'll give you a hint. l'm headed for one of the outer planets.
But that's the half of the map we DON'T have!
Good! you can fill it in as you go along!
you've got a navigator who knows the neighborhood.
We do?
Of course! Janet!
l wonder if Ms Frizzle is down there...
Wow! Which planet is that?
One of the gas giants.
What is that red blotch?
lt's a storm, thousands of miles wide.
And the only planet with a big red spot is Jupiter.
Jupiter - the fifth planet.
All right, Janet! Way to go!
Now, if l could just get some of that red spot...
it will prove l'd been to Jupiter
Ms. Frizzle to bus. Ms. Frizzle to bus. Over.
Jupiter lS the largest planet... but don't worry, Carlos, because l'm not on it!
Then where are you?
l've got to have some of that red spot!!
We're out of control!
Janet! Pull up! Pull up!
lt's all yours, Ralphie.
Janet!
Chill out, guys. lf you visit Jupiter, you gotta have proof, right?
l knew l should have stayed home today.
Ms. Frizzle to class! Ms. Frizzle to class! Come in, please!
Ms. Frizzle, Janet almost got us...
l got them some of Jupiter's red spot!
Did you say red hot? you're not even warm yet!
The outer planet l'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!
Hey look--another planet.
lt's beautiful!
But where are we?
lt's got to be Saturn.
There's no other gas giant with such beautiful rings.
Saturn, the sixth planet.
Well, it must be cold down there because Saturn is pretty far away from the sun.
But Ms. Frizzle said cold and DARK.
lt could be very, very dark on Saturn...
Oh no you don't. you just want to grab more stuff.
Hey, l'm just trying to help.
lf you wanna play Let's-Find-Ms Frizzle-Without-A-Map for the rest of your life,
that's fine with me.
Janet's right. Ms. Frizzle could be on Saturn, couldn't she....?
Okay, Arnold, but it's your job to keep your crazy cousin under control.
Ms. Frizzle to bus. Over.
Liz and l can't wait to show you all the stars we can see out here...
Ah, it's so beautiful.
Come back! What about a hint?
She just gave us a hint, Ralphie.
She did?
y eah, 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 #7 coming up.
That must be Uranus.
you can tell by its tilted, faint,
grey rings and its blue-green gases.
See, Cuz, Uranus doesn't do a thing for me.
So you can get off of me, Okay?
Sorry, Janet, but l have to stay on top of the situation.
The Friz couldn't see the stars through those clouds either.
No way she's on Uranus.
To the next planet!
WAlT! l need proof!
And we need Ms. Frizzle! Step on it, Wanda!
Neptune! Please! We gotta stop at Neptune! lt's my favourite planet!
The eighth planet, Neptune.
Looks like another planet's surrounded by gases.
And it's blue.
Blue! My favourite color!
Forget it, Janet. Ms. Frizzle couldn't see the stars from down there.
Go, Wanda!
No!!!
Now where do we go?
She's not on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune...
That means there's only ONE planet left.
Which one?
l'll tell you - after you get off of me!!
Right. Listen carefully. Ms. Frizzle is on the farthest planet from the sun...PLUTO!!
To Pluto!!
Pluto's cold and dark all right.
And clear. They've GOT to be here!
Look!
There they are!
y Ay!
Good work! We knew you'd find us, right, Liz?
you sure can see stars from here. l wonder where the sun is...
See that tiny star over there?
Uh huh.
Well, that's it.
THAT'S the sun?
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.
lt was a good hint, if l do say so myself...
l got enough stuff for ALL of us to prove we made it to Pluto!
Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go!
Are you kidding?
There's no room in there.
All right. Be that way!
There's no way l'm going home without my stuff!!!
There's no way l'm going home without you!!!
lt's PROOF! Nobody will believe me without it!
l'll believe you. They'll believe you.
Janet! you want PROOF! l'll give you PROOF!
Here's proof of what'll happen to you if you stay here with your stuff!!!
Arnold.... no.....!!!!
Oh CU-U-U-UZ!!
Back to Earth! And step on it!
Thanks, Janet.
Arnold, it's the least l can do. lf it weren't for you, l'd still be on Pluto with all my stuff.
l don't need to prove anything. That was THE most amazing field trip ever.
you know it. l know it. lf no one else believes me, that's their problem!
Right on!
Way to go, Janet
you said it!
Attention all students.
We've just learned that scientists have made
their first contact with an alien from outer space.
An alien!
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.
Ralphie!!!!
As l always say, class... you're out of this world.
ls it the magic school bus?
stay tune with us and be a smart kid
Hello. ''Magic School Bus''.
Don't you mean ''The Twilight Zone''? That show had more science FlCTlON than fact.
We realize a school bus would make a lousy space craft...
l'll give you that one, but only because you call it a MAGlC school bus.
But there's no way any spacecraft could visit all nine planets in a day.
lf we did it in real time, you'd be grown up by the time we got to Pluto.
Speaking of Pluto, scientists don't REALLy know what its surface is like.
you're right. 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 1999,
it's temporarily inside Neptune's orbit.
Right again!
What about those funny looking sun goggles?
l 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?
Uhhhh.. Well, will you?ahh?believe an artificial gravity geoscopic confabulator?
Aha, aha, aha. No way.
OK. you got me. We just fudged it.
And don't think l 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.
y eah. 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 she'd end up with more than a cold, huh?
She'd end up a block of ice - or worse!
Which reminds me why l called in the first place.
y es?
l'm STlLL waiting for someone to get that pile of litter off my planet!
THE END
