‘Fancy Nancy’ makes her TV debut as the popular children’s books are adapted into a new animated series on Disney Junior

“I can’t get my mind around this,” Glasser says by phone from her home in San Juan Capistrano. “It’s a dream I never dared to dream, to have my two-dimensional squiggly little drawings turned into a Disney TV series. I’m a little bit verklempt.”
