'''''[[Mission Magic|Mission: Magic!]]''''' is a [[Fantasy]] [[Animated Series]] from [[Filmation]] that ran from 1973 to 1975 on [[ABC]]. Like the better known ''[[The Magic School Bus]]'', it featured a magical teacher, [[A Worldwide Punomenon|Miss Tickle]], who would take her "Adventurers' Club" group of six [[Five-Token Band|multi-ethnic students]] (consisting of [[The Chick|the blonde Carol]], the [[Uncle Tomfoolery|African American male]] Franklin, the [[Twofer Token Minority|Asian female]] Kim, the [[Fat Bastard|fat]], [[Deadpan Snarker|sardonic]] Harvey, the [[Cloudcuckoolander]] Socks, and the [[Malaproper]] Vinnie) through a portal in a magical blackboard, which she would open by bringing to life the statuette of her cat, Tut-tut, with the chant:

** Averted with Modran, who has no real powers.
* [[Five-Token Band]]: In accordance with Filmation's commitment to socially progressive ideals, the Adventurers' Club carefully contained two and a half token minorities: Franklin, a black male, and Kim, an Asian female.
* ~[[Hey, It's That Voice!~]]: Not merely Rick Springfield. Many of the voices were done, unpaid, by producer Lou Scheimer's children, as a cost-saving measure.
* [[Incredible Shrinking Man]]: Miss Tickle in "Giant Steppes."
* [[Inexplicably Awesome]]: Miss Tickle's far out powers are just taken as a given.
