Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

When Nick Jr. swung open its stable of shows to Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, a super-size saddle full of spunk charged in; here's a series so full of lovable kooks it'll forever flatten tired old cartoon conceits for kids 2 to 6. Maggie, based on the mother-son books and starring a 5-year-old dynamo who'll put parents in mind of Peanuts' Frieda minus the primping, sweeps kids into an imaginary oasis alongside polka-dotted pussycat Beast and fussy pig Hamilton Hocks. There they knock around, making friends and figuring life out in these episodes. (In "The Big Duck," a feathered humongo frightens Hamilton and Beast until Maggie sets things right.) The adventures cast spells and the dialogue is smart, but it's the pouring on of personality that puts Maggie's Nowhere Land on the map. This is a crew that'll convert the uninitiated before they can say "great googly-moogly." --Tammy La Gorce


Product Description

Beastly Picture - Maggie has painted a wonderful portrait of the Beast. When the Beast accidentally ruins the painting, he tries to paint a replacement, but it's very hard to paint with big beastly paws. His artwork sure doesn't fool Maggie, but she loves it just the same. The Big Duck - Who is that big duck in the River of Dreams and why is she following Maggie, Hamilton and the Beast? Hamilton and the Beast are a little scared of her, but Maggie makes friends with the Duck and finds out she just wants to give them a ride across the river. Hamilton's Pet - Hamilton finds a friendly little fish in the River of Dreams and decides to keep him for a pet. He puts Fishy in a baby carriage and takes him for a walk, but Fishy looks very unhappy. Realizing that his pet is homesick, Hamilton decides to take him back go the River and says goodbye. My One and Only Box - Maggie, Hamilton and the Beast are having great fun making snow sculptures and snow angels and throwing snowballs. Hamilton's box makes a very good sled, until it hits a rock and is torn. Hamilton is filled with remorse and sings a sad little song about his beloved box. Maggie eventually saves the day, fixing the tear with one of the Beast's spots. Mr. Shivers - Maggie has a magic snow globe that makes it snow in Nowhere Land. The three friends build a snowman that comes to life as the jovial Mr. Shivers. When the sun comes out, they must escort Mr. Shivers to the top of the Highest Mountain, where it's always snowy and he won't have to worry about melting. The King of Nowhere Land - Maggie's brought a crown to Nowhere Land and Hamilton volunteers to be the king. Once he is crowned, however, he realizes that kings don't get to do anything fun. He finally abdicates to bake some apple pies.

5.0 out of 5 stars delightful video for boys and girls, March 22, 2003
By audrey (white mtns) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Maggie is a girl that both boys and girls can admire. She is kind, intelligent and resourceful. She likes adventures, makes up fun games and helps her friends Hamilton Hocks and The Ferocious Beast; and though Hamilton and Beast don't often see eye-to-eye, Hamilton loves to cook and the Beast loves to eat, so that works out too. The three friends wander through Nowhere Land, a fun place populated with interesting creatures.

This DVD contains six Maggie and the Ferocious Beast adventures: Beastly Picture, where the Beast accidentally destroys a picture Maggie has painted of him; Big Duck, about judging someone -- say, a big duck -- that you've only just met; Hamilton's Pet, about loving wild creatures without caging them; My One and Only Box, about Hamilton's security issues; Mr. Shivers, about the friends' snowman acquaintance and their magical snowglobe; and King of Nowhere Land, about the rights and responsibilities of leadership -- it's lonely at the top!

Each of these charming stories is 7-1/2 to 8-1/2 minutes long. You can play them individually or choose to play them all in succession. Audio is in English or Spanish, and subtitles are available in English (a nice feature for early readers). There are also several trailers for other DVDs.

While the episodes are absolutely wonderful, it would have been nice to get some information about the voice talent. Also, instead of just a cover sheet with episodes listed, why not insert some puzzles or stories for kids?

Preschool and toddler boys and girls will enjoy these tales of adventure, and they will see some entertaining lessons about friendship. Very well done indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Kids Love Maggie, March 8, 2006
I have three year old twins - a boy and a girl. both of them love Maggie & the Ferocious Beast. I bought the DVD because Noggin only has the show on once a day. It's funny and lively and colorful. I enjoy it as much as they do.
