MSB S5E05: The Magnetic Mambo

Time to get attracted to this review. A review about how metal sticks to magnets. To help with Ralphie's dance show. Blog, do your stuff!

57. The Magnetic Mambo.
Topic: Magnetism.
Written by: Jennifer Daley.
Released: 29 September 2017.

While visiting a mountain made of magnetite, Ralphie and the class shrink to subatomic size to get some hot tips for their disorganized dance troupe.

Either the doctor said Arnold shouldn't dance, or Arnold doesn't want to dance.

Here's the return of Wanda's brother William, and he sure has aged up in this series, really proving that this series is a continuation to the old series and that the main class is 5th grade now. And he can't even get his magnetic train to connect.

Here was the problem. The coach was facing the wrong way.

  
And here is Wanda's mum. And she stated the class do require permission slips to go on field trips. And I have to question something about Wanda's mum in this series. Did she let her hair grow long over the course of 2 years? Because in the old series, in her first appearance, she had her hair in a bun, in her later appearances, she had a haircut, and in this series, her hair is long.

These kids can't seem to do the same dance moves. Keesha's doing the Keesha Krump, Jyoti's doing the Jyoti Kaur Kathakali, and Tim's doing the Timothy Twist.

How does Fiona Frizzle do all this dancing?

Hey! Did Fiona throw Ralphie's whistle out of The Magic School Bus?

She did it, so they could go inside.

As Jyoti is demonstrating, these metallic atoms spin in the same direction.

Now the 3 kids are spinning. Not a good idea.

This is another moment Tim breaks something out of carelessness.

Ralphie's show is ruined!

Here is a massive magnetite. In Mauritania, Africa.

Come on! Ride on The Magic School Caravan!

 
It shouldn't go down there. No entry!

Klumsy Keesha! Throwing the whistle out like that.

Here's a demonstration of how metallics spin in the same direction.

Arnold's asking the question of the day. How do specific magnetics not stick?

Here is why. If they're facing the wrong way.

"According to my reesearch, that track could go on for miles!"
That's the problem. Ralphie forgot to put the brakes on. 


Bus down the mine!

It's funny how Arnold didn't hear Keesha's idea of a Human Chain.

And Keesha's idea was taken seriously. A Human chain to get The Magic School Bus.

Tiny tools?

Oh wait. Magic tools! A pickaxe, a shovel, and a crowbar.

 
These kids are dressed in magnetite suits. Reminds me of Rocks and Rolls when they were dressed in rock suits.

They saved The Magic School Bus!

It's funny that Ralphie and Fiona were about to high-five each other, only for Arnold to intervene.

Liz makes a great DJ. She's sending the class surfing on a soundwave.

Now these kids can dance upside-down on the ceiling.

Come on! Dance on The Magic School Stage!

Tiny Goldie!

Giant Valerie!

Goldie just sneezed. Foreshadowing the next episode.


Now we're in for some real sciency stuff. Magnetism, like the magnets we put on our refrigerators. And magnets can also be useful to find lost metals.

One thing I've noticed about Wanda's mum is that she's voiced by Lisa Yamanaka, Wanda's original voice actress. And get this. Lisa was the caller at the end. One way I can tell it was Lisa is because in the old series, Wanda's mum had an American accent due to being voiced by Rosalind Chao, while in this series, Wanda's mum's voice slips to a Canadian accent.

And when Jyoti explained her dance move, the "Jyoti Kaur Kathakali", she revealed that her surname is Kaur, and shows she's Indian-American.

Ralphie saying his surname is "Tennelli" and mentioning that his mum knows a hearing specialist. This shows that even if certain people don't think this series is canon to the original series, this series treats itself like it's canon.

Well, this was an interesting way to learn about how magnets attract. The dance moves Tim, Jyoti and Keesha did at the beginning were clumsy, yet funny. And I find it intriguing that everyone covered their ears when Ralphie blew his whistle. But that magnetic dance at the end was entertaining, as was that techno music.

My rating: 9/10.

Season 5 scorecard:
1. Frizzle of the Future: 8/10.
2. Pigs in the Wind: 9/10.
3. In the Swim: 9.5/10.
4. The Battle for Rock Mountain: 10/10.
5. The Magnetic Mambo: 9/10.

Season 5 so far: 9/10.
