Made by Maddie is an unreleased, cancelled CG-animated TV series created by Paula Rosenthal, originally set to premiere on Nick Jr. on September 13, 2020. The show stars Maddie, a young fashion designer who lives with her family in a big city, always carrying around her "sew on the go" in case she might need it. The sound design was handled by The Mix Room, a recording studio located in Burbank, California.
In late August of that year, marketing had begun running promotional bumpers for the then-upcoming series, which ended up landing itself in big controversy; Particularly, the character designs for Maddie herself and her parents (Dee and Rashad) have been targeted for plagiarizing from similar looking characters from the theatrical short Hair Love. This being the only thing anyone talked about the show in passing was bad enough for Nickelodeon to pull the series from air on September 4, and let their trademark for the series name to expire. As of May 22, 2024, only two of the 22 full episodes have been posted online.
Storyline[]
Dream it, draw it, make it! Made by Maddie centers on Maddie (Alyssa Cheatham), a quick-thinking little girl with a big personality and a huge heart, who has a passion for fashion. Maddie finds design inspiration around every corner, and her big ideas couldn’t become a reality without the love and support of her aspirational and talented fashion designer mom Dee (Patina Miller), and her super cool and upbeat musician dad, Rashad (James Monroe Iglehart), along with the assistance of friends and neighbors, including kind, animal-loving best friend, Jada (Sophia Torres), and the twins, rule-following Harper (Amanda Dressel) and fearless Hudson (Ames McNamara), who are always up for adventure. Maddie’s creative thinking and dazzling designs are a reflection of the bustling, colorful city of New York and its residents. Maddie confidently embraces her own unique style, celebrates individuality, treats everyone with kindness, and encourages others to take risks and be themselves.
