==Characters==
===Main===
* Maggie (voiced by Kristen Bone) is a 5-year-old redheaded girl (who later turns 6 years old) and the human protagonist of the show. She is Hamilton's and Beast's best friend, who is adventurous. They both look up to Maggie very much and always turn to her for advice. Maggie is the leader of the group and is always there to be the compassionate voice of reason to her dear friends.
* Beast (voiced by [[Stephen Ouimette]] in the US and [[David Holt (voice actor)|David Holt]] in the UK) appears ferocious, but is actually gentle and kind. He is a yellow [[elephant]]-like creature, with big red removable spots, and three horns on his head. His catchphrase is "Great googly moogly!", which he says numerous times per episode including the opening sequence of the series. In the episode "Hide and Go Beast", it is shown that he is allergic to pollen. Beast likes pretty much any kind of food, especially Hamilton's cooking, and is almost always hungry. He even likes taking baths. He often wears
* Hamilton Hocks (voiced by Michael Caruana) is a [[pig]] who can be bossy and quite fussy, but he does have a warm heart. He lives inside a handheld [[cardboard box]] which he likes, is the best cook in Nowhere Land, and is a total-clean freak. Hamilton's most prized possessions are his handsome "H" sweater and his cardboard box, which also happens to be his home. In the episode "Hamilton the Ham", he has a great talent for singing. His catchphrase is "Hoo-wee!" Maggie and the Beast are his best friends.

* The Moo Sisters are the three [[cows]] who live in a part of Nowhere Land called Mooville. They all love to sing and do it very often. They are sisters and their names are Millicent, Mavis and Marge.

* The Dream Sheep are white [[sheep]] that make baa sounds. They are occasionally up in the clouds.
* The Jellybean Team are a group of seven coloured jellybeans. There is a red one, an orange one, a yellow one, a purple one, a black one and two green ones. They are small, of course, but have big personalities. They also tend to argue with each other a lot because they each think they are more important than the others.
* The Triplets (all voiced by [[Julie Lemieux]]) are Maggie's baby cousins. Their names are
* Big Duck is a large [[duck]] with white feathers who lives in the water. She appears in the [[B. B. King|series]]' theme song.

* B. B. Katz is a [[tiger]] known for playing Jazz music through his large bass. He lives within Mud Creek. His name is based on legendary Blues musician, [[B. B. King]].
