The show's cast also includes some other talented voice actors, including Andrea Libman, who voices Danielle, Madeline's best friend, and Tara Strong, who voices Monique, another one of Madeline's friends.

For example, in one episode, Madeline befriends a new student who is from a different country and is struggling to fit in with the rest of the students.

Another important aspect of the show is the music. The theme song is catchy and memorable, and the show features songs throughout each episode. The songs help reinforce the messages of each episode and are a fun way for children to learn.

The New Adventures of Madeline has a large fan base and is still remembered fondly by those who watched it as children. The show has been praised for its strong female role models, like Madeline and Miss Clavel, who teach children about courage, kindness, and academic achievement.
