Maggie and the Ferocious Beast is a Canadian animated children's television series created by Michael and Betty Paraskevas.[1] The program was based on the 1996 book The Ferocious Beast with the Polka-Dot Hide and its sequels, which were also written by the Paraskevas.[2] Two years later, the show started off as a series of shorts aired on the Canadian channel Teletoon in 1998. The first full-length episode first premiered on Nickelodeon as part of the Nick Jr. programming block on June 5, 2000, in the United States before premiering on Teletoon on August 26 of that same year in Canada.[3] The series ran for three seasons, airing its final episode on June 9, 2002.
