The Magic School Bus: 35th Anniversary Video Collection (2021)

**The 35th Anniversary Videos** are Blu-rays/DVDs/4K UHDs of The Magic School Bus and The Magic School Bus Rides Again, released for the 35th anniversary of the Magic School Bus (1986-2021). The concept of the celebration and these rereleases/remakes of stuff is fanmade by MegaSceptile001.

**The Magic School Bus** has been digitally remastered from its original television exhibition. However, it is upscaled to 1440×1080 instead of 1920×1080 due to the fact that the series was in 4:3. The show was actually upscaled into 8K, then downscaled to 4K and 1080 for the home-media releases.

All funding credits and the 1993-1995 (Seasons 1 (1994) and 2) and 1996-1999 (Seasons 3 and 4 (1997)) PTV Pals Ident is intact, due to the original series being a PBS Kids show.

The audio has been remastered to 5.1 Dolby Surround.

The sources used for **The Magic School Bus Rides Again** are already in 1080p and 5.1 Dolby, but these versions include the Bus transforming into the episode title at the end of the theme song (like in the original series), and removing the Netflix idents, replacing them with the "outer space" Scholastic ident at the beginning and "Liz waving" MSB logo at the end.

This has been a staple of the Magic School Bus DVDs since "Creepy Crawly Fun" in 2000. Many of the 2003-2005 compilations have been rereleased. The "Greatest Adventures" VHS (the result of a poll on the Magic School Bus website that happened in 2000, for the best season 1, 2, and 3 episodes) has been ported to disc for the first time. Another "Kid's Choice" poll was held on the redone Magic School Bus website, a remake of the 1990s-2000s one with Rides Again aesthetic, for selecting the greatest Rides Again episodes. This was compiled into "The Next Greatest Adventures".
