Fancy Nancy

My three year old loves this show! I was a little skeptical at first, but I am completely sold on this show.

Nancy Clancy is a kid that deals with very real emotions and situations, which, as a parent, is something that I want my child to see. People complain that Nancy is a brat, but she just has flaws like any person and she overcomes those flaws by admitting where she went wrong. There is a place for fairy princesses and magic wishes, but I want a little balance for my child between fantasy and reality.

One reviewer said Nancy was not a good role model. I disagree. When Nancy gets upset because things don't turn out the way she expects or wants, a parent, grandparent, neighbor, or friend is quick to point out her "bad" behavior. Nancy becomes remorseful and apologizes for her actions, most importantly, she learns from her mistakes. That is what my three year old granddaughter gets from the show. We all make mistakes, the important thing is to learn and grow from them. This show is the only current cartoon I personally can stomach to watch. I think Disney is making a colossal (that's fancy for really big) mistake by canceling Fancy Nancy.

Nancy is a self-centered brat who boss is her friends around and whines when she's not the center of attention. Definitely don't want my daughter watching this.

My 2yo really likes this show. Nancy is not a spoiled brat, she's a sweet little girl with a strong personality that makes mistakes and learns from them. She is a girlie girl (which is fun for many), but the show balances out her character with her sisters and friends who are more like your average, rough-and-tumble kids. The music in the show is great, and there are a lot of funny moments.

I don't understand why this show got all those bad reviews. All characters have a great personality, the animation is cute, it features a lot of good lessons which could be really helpful for children at that age, the French/fancy words featured in the show help kids to amplify their vocabulary, it teaches good manners, and last but not least, it encourages kids to use their imagination, to be creative and to pursue their dreams. Definitely, it is worth to watch.

The show will make you feel like you're watching real life kids who make mistakes like all of us. Also, it'll teach your kids how to confront some daily situations represented in the show.
