Fancy Nancy Clancy

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.

If you're a fan and/or have nostalgia for the original books, then you'll probably like this show. But this show isn't my cup of tea.

The CGI animation is quite well-done, but I feel that the plots are weak. One episode has Nancy forcing her friends Rhonda, Wanda, and Lionel to be fancy for no reason. Another episode has her being mean to her little sister and kicking her out of the playhouse to please local mean girl Grace. It was somewhat established early on that Nancy didn't like Grace, so why would she care what Grace thinks?

Speaking of which, I don't really care for the characters. Nancy can be quite unlikable at times and her obsession with fanciness gets old after the theme song, Bree is bland, Rhonda and Wanda are Lynn Loud x2, and Lionel's the token boy. Grace, somehow, is the best character in the show despite her being the mean girl. Reason being is she has the most personality!

At least the show has some educational value. After every 'fancy' word that Nancy says, she will quickly explain to the viewers at home what the word means. And this show might teach some good lessons to young children, like to not be bossy to your friends. But overall the show is just right down the middle for me.

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 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.
