    SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
    Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
    Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
    Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
    revfer1 My kids love this show! I like it, for the most part. It usually has a good lesson about working together or overcoming apprehensions. The only episode I didn't LOVE was one where I think all of them were doing something to celebrate their birthday (because they all have the same birthday) or something. Beast learned to dance a Spanish type dance, which was fine, but when he turned around with a rose in his mouth, Hamilton blushed. Why do kids shows have to have those kinds of undertones added when everything was going just fine with the relationships between the characters being perfectly platonic? Other than that, there are no overt biases or agendas, as far as I can tell. As for the other reviews that referenced kids catching creatures when the family is out because they saw Hamilton do it, or being scared of the big duck or frustrated because they see things on the show that they can't do, or it being a waste of 24 minutes, all I have to say is...seriously? If parents aren't going to explain the differences between cartoons and real life to their kids, then they aren't being parents and their kids are in for a tough life. If the kids are scared of a big duck, they need toughened up. If they get that easily frustrated, they need more adversity in life and need a parent to guide them through it rather than shield them from it. And sometimes kids need a little less intense escape from all the stimulation we give them these days, so maybe something that is a little more subtle to an adult might seem a "waste" but kids can actually learn easily from the actions they emulate from Maggie, especially, without learning being "shoved" at them.
    eyewrite1 I honestly don't see how so many people thought this is a worthwhile children's show. My daughter refuses to watch it (she's 2) and I couldn't be happier. It's so annoying, the story lines are idiotic, the voices are cloying and awful ... If it disappeared tomorrow, I wouldn't miss it. I just don't understand why the animals whine all the time, and are so afraid all the time, and just so under-your-skin pests all the time. I can't believe there are only two of us who've posted negative reviews. The others have to be employed by the show or something. It doesn't teach anything useful, it's not entertaining or funny ... It's a waste of 24 minutes.
    Catherine_Grace_Zeh Wow! This is a really cute, fun, and entertaining show. I said that because I watch this on the Noggin network with my 16-month-old nephew from time to time. It's hard to say which show on the Noggin network is the best. Still it's really cute, fun, and entertaining. The things I like most about this series are the animation and the art design. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at the Noggin network really know how to reach a toddler's developing mind. Now, in conclusion, if you have children, nieces, or nephews, I strongly recommend this really cute, fun, and entertaining show. I guarantee you that they will enjoy it.
    Ron Gross (rgross) I have to say that this show is my daughter's favorite and has been since she was 2 (now 4). A previous comment suggested that a "ferocious beast" might scare children, but have you SEEN the beast character? If that goofy thing can scare your kids they might as well pack it in now. I never really thought about the content much until when asking my daughter where she learned a particular phrase or fact, she so often told me she learned it on "Maggie". Politeness, behaviour, teamwork, and many other things are taught, as well as a great deal of vocabulary (by way of "what does that word mean..."). One of the best on TV right now. As much as I LOVED bugs bunny cartoons as a kid, about the most they ever taught me was not to anger a guy with a gun or mail order access to explosives. :-)
