"The Magic School Bus" is an award-winning, animated children’s television series based on the book series of the same title by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. It is notable for its use of celebrity talent and being both highly entertaining and educational. Most of the class becomes convinced that Ms. Frizzle is a vampire when she takes the class and their parents on a night-time field trip to learn more about bats. As the night progresses, the kids are turned into bats and learn that not all bats are related to vampires.
