Maggie and the Ferocious Beast Season 1, Episode 37: Hamilton's Box Car

My One and Only Box

Maggie, Hamilton and the Beast are having great fun in the snow, 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.

Spot the Spot

How many spots does a Ferocious Beast have? Maggie and Hamilton find out that counting them isn't as easy as you'd think! When she tries to count the spots on the Beast's back, Maggie finds herself caught up a tree and her friends have to help her get back down.

Recipe for Trouble

Hamilton the chef needs an extra big pumpkin for his pumpkin brulé soufflé flambé recipe. When the Beast and Maggie arrive with the other ingredients, they find that Hamilton has dug his way into an enormous pumpkin and can't get out again!

A Lemonade Stand

The Beast really likes the band-aid Maggie has on her knee and will not rest until he can have one too. Meanwhile Maggie and Hamilton make some ice cold lemonade to sell. They don't have any customers, but they sure enjoy drinking the lemonade!

Walk the Walk

It's a superb day at the beach and Sidestep the crab is showing Maggie, Hamilton and the Beast how to walk crab-style. The Beast gets a little carried away and accidentally knocks over Sidestep's little house. Maggie, Hamilton and the Beast build Sidestep a beautiful new sand castle to live in and all is forgiven.

What's in a Laugh?

Hamilton isn't very happy when the Beast says he snorts when he laughs. In fact, he goes into his box and won't come out to play. Maggie and the Beast lure him out again by making paper hats.

Pack Up Your Troubles

Maggie, Hamilton and the Beast are having a bad day. Maggie's drawing is ruined, the Beast is having difficulty with his origami, and Hamilton accidentally squashes a whole batch of muffins. They decide to send their troubles off to sea in little paper boats. After the boats are made, however, they realize they don't really have any troubles at all!

Rub-A-Dub-Dub

It's just rained and the Beast can't resist sliding through the puddles, making him the ferociously muddy beast! Maggie decides it's high time the Beast took a bath, so he starts sudsing up in the River of Dreams while Hamilton washes his spots out by hand. When the spots dry, however, they end up all wrinkly! The Beast can't wear wrinkly spots! Maggie comes up with the solution - they simply press the spots flat in a great big book.

The Big Carrot

Maggie, Hamilton and the Beast come upon a gigantic carrot, and a very strange little rabbit named Nedley who speaks in rhymes.

Out of Water Beast

It's hot! Very hot! It's even too hot to walk to the beach. Fortunately Hamilton has an inflatable wading pool they can play in, but the Beast is too big to fit into it. How can they all have fun and cool off in the little pool? The solution: the Beast holds the water hose pointing up like a fountain and Maggie and Hamilton use him as a big spotted water slide!

Rain, Rain, Come and Stay

It always rains in the Land of the Umbrella Trees, so the three friends are sure to dress up in their slickers and boots to travel there. While he's splashing around, the Beast loses his beloved red boot in a deep, deep puddle. Time to get out the rods and go boot fishing!

Hamilton the Ham

On a trip to Mooville, Maggie, Hamilton and the Beast meet the Moo Sisters, a trio of singing cows. The Moo Sisters think Hamilton has a beautiful voice and egg him on to sing a song. Hamilton is very shy at first, but once he gets going he turns out to be a real ham!

This Little Pig

Hamilton wakes up with a bad cold and has to stay in bed. His friends' efforts to nurse him back to health are just bothering him and keeping him awake. In the end Maggie and the Beast compose a special Get Well poem for their sick friend, then tiptoe away to let him sleep.

Hide and Go Beast

It's not easy to find a hiding spot for hide-and-go-seek when you're a very large and a very spotted ferocious beast. After a lot of thought the Beast finally comes up with the PERFECT hiding spot - in the pumpkin patch - and nobody can find him!

One, Two, Three

The three friends certainly have their hands full when Maggie brings her three baby nephews to Nowhere Land. It's hard work running after triplets, feeding them and keeping them clean, but the hardest job of all is just telling them apart. When it's time for the babies to go back home, Hamilton and the Beast are all worn out!

What's in a Bag?

Maggie has a bag full of very unusual jelly beans. For starters, they won't stop arguing over which colour jelly bean is the best. Hamilton and Maggie try washing off their colours to help them get along, but the jelly beans aren't very happy being all the same. Hamilton solves the problem by re-dying them back the way they were.

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.

30 min

The Push-Me Popper

Hamilton has won a prize in a cooking contest - it's a push-me popper toy, and it immediately becomes Hamilton's most prized possession. The Beast plays with it without Hamilton's permission and accidentally breaks it, which causes friction between the two friends. Luckily Maggie is able to fix the toy and they all take turns playing with it.

Sun Spots

It's a lovely day at the beach and the Beast is having so much fun he forgets to put on his sun block. Uh oh! He gets a beastly sunburn, and turns all red! And when Hamilton sees him in the water he thinks he's a sea monster!

Say Cheese

When Maggie gives the Beast a framed picture of the two of them, Hamilton thinks she likes the Beast better than him. Maggie reassures Hamilton that she likes him just as much as she likes the Beast. He may not be big and have spots, but he does have lovely velvety pink skin. Cheered up, Hamilton agrees to let the Beast take a picture of them with his camera.

Sailing Away

Maggie has a new telescope and decides they should go on a sailing adventure - to find the mysterious Secret Island. They set off in a big paper boat and, with the help of a seagull, finally reach the island, which turns out to be very, very small. They decide to keep Secret Island a secret.

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 to the River and say farewell.

Slooow Motion

One day Maggie, Hamilton and the Beast find themselves on a strange beach crowded with turtles. Tired out from playing Follow the Maggie, they decide to play Follow the Turtle for a change. This forces them to sloooooow dooooown, and they start to notice all the little things on the beach that they never noticed before!

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.

Flim-Flam-A Fiddle

The Beast always wins at checkers, Hamilton always wins at croquet, and it's making them argue. Maggie suggests they play a brand new game she's made up called Flim-Flam-a-Fiddle. This game involves jumping, crawling, somersaulting and lots of shouting - and best of all there are no winners and no losers!

A Beastly Garden

When Maggie brings a watermelon to Nowhere Land, the Beast decides to plant the seeds and grow his very own watery-melon garden. The Beast tends his garden carefully, watering it and watching over it day and night. Soon his efforts are rewarded with three nice big watermelons - one for each.

Spring Cleaning

Hamilton is doing his spring cleaning, which he says is the most fun thing to do on a spring day. The Beast tries to help out, but ends up making a big mess. Hamilton sends Maggie and the Beast off to clean up the rest of Nowhere Land. This turns out to be a pretty big job, and not much fun at all.

Three Little Ghosts

It's a dark and spooky night, and the Beast has dressed up as a ghost to scare his friends. What he doesn't know is that Hamilton and Maggie are dressed up as ghosts too. And when they meet up with a fourth ghost (their friend Nedley) they all get a good scare!

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.

The Big Scare

The Beast has a big scare when he sees a mouse! Maggie and Hamilton make friends with Pippi the mouse who, it turns out, is just as scared of the Beast as the Beast is of him. Once they get to know each other, however, they aren't scared anymore, and the Beast gives Pippi a ride back to his home in Cheese Land.

Mr. Shivers

Maggie's got a magic snow globe that makes it snow in Nowhere Land! The three friends build a snowman, who comes to life as the very jovial Mr. Shivers. When the sun comes out they must escort Mr. Shivers to the top of Highest Mountain, where it's always snowy and he won't have to worry about melting.

30 min

Nap Time

Tired out from playing, Hamilton announces that it's nap time. They lie down, they toss and turn... they just can't seem to fall asleep! The Dream Sheep come to the rescue, bleating a lullaby so soothing that it puts the sheep themselves to sleep. Finally everyone is slumbering peacefully - except for a disgruntled Hamilton.

Up, Up and Away

It's very windy - a perfect day for kite-flying, if they only had a kite. Maggie and Hamilton start to build one, and the Beast wants to help out, but he's not very good with strings and tape. In the end however it's the Beast who saves the day by contributing his spots to make the tail.

Louder! Louder!

During a contest to see who can shout the loudest (causing the loudest echo), the Beast roars a little too ferociously and loses his voice. This is a very serious problem - how can he be ferocious without a roar? Maggie helps him practice his ferocious facial expressions while Hamilton makes him some special blueberry tea that will help him get his voice back.

Once Upon a Time

The Beast wants to hear his favourite story again, for the umpteenth time, but Hamilton is very tired of reading it to him! Maggie suggests they act it out instead, but when they do, the familiar tale starts to take on some strange new twists. Hamilton is troubled at first by the changes, but he gets in the spirit of things as they improvise a much more exciting story than the original.

Maggie the Mommy

Maggie is dressed up like a Mommy, with high heels, a hat and real perfume! She recruits Hamilton to be the baby in her baby carriage, and the Beast to be the family dog.

Happy Birthday to All of Us

Maggie, Hamilton and the Beast all have the same birthday, so they¹ve planned a very big, triple birthday party. The Beast is embarrassed by his humble gifts to his friends, but is cheered up when Hamilton and Maggie love his presents. Hamilton is upset that he hasn't grown since their last birthday so he is wearing big awkward shoes to make himself taller. Maggie tells him he may not be taller but he's certainly wiser.

The Really Big Show

The three friends decide to put on a show for their friends. Hamilton is doing magic tricks, Maggie will recite a poem, but the Beast is being very secretive about his act.
