The New York Times bestselling book series, Fancy Nancy by Jane O’Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser is coming to life in a new Disney Junior show. The Fancy Nancy show debuts on Disney Junior, DisneyNOW, and Disney Junior VOD on Friday, July 13th at 11:00 am EDT/PDT. If you aren’t familiar with the stories, Nancy is a high-spirited young girl whose zest and enthusiasm for all that is exquisite – including language, nature, art, and color – transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Excited to experience what the magnificent world has to offer, Nancy uses ingenuity and resourcefulness to exemplify that even if life doesn’t always go as planned, it’s important to make the most of each day and encourage others to do the same.
See why your family will love Fancy Nancy!
