What happens

The Buzz on Maggie is an American animated television series created by Dave Polsky for Disney Channel. The series centers on an ambitious and expressive tween fly named Maggie Pesky and her family and friends. The show is set in Stickyfeet, a city for insects located in a junkyard. While conceptualizing the series, Polsky wanted it to contain a playful view of adolescence and director Dave Wasson formed the overall look of the characters, being heavily influenced by early Walt Disney cartoon shorts. The Buzz on Maggie was Disney's first series to be fully animated in Adobe Flash, a process done by Bardel Entertainment and Future Thought Productions. The series was produced in widescreen, but was cropped to a 4:3 aspect ratio when aired on television due to Disney Channel's lack of an HD feed at the time. The Buzz on Maggie premiered on June 17, 2005, and received positive reviews from television critics, many of whom praised its humor, voice acting, and writing. Despite this, a single season of 21 episodes was produced. The series aired its final episode on May 27, 2006. The theme song "Just the Way I Am", performed by Canadian singer Skye Sweetnam, was also met with critical praise and a Daytime Emmy Award nomination in 2006. During its run, The Buzz on Maggie also received an Annie Award nomination for its character design. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
