Nelvana To Develop New Animated Preschool TV Series

Julie Andrews
|
Corus Entertainment's Nelvana Enterprises, a leading international producer and distributor of children's animated content, is partnering with internationally renowned actress and author Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton to develop a new animated girls preschool TV series based on their #1 New York Times bestselling book series, The Very Fairy Princess.
"Emma and I couldn't be more thrilled to be partnering with Nelvana," said Andrews. "The books are all about celebrating individuality. We hope to encourage kids to rejoice in their own unique passions and talents – even if they're different from that of their family or friends, and Nelvana is the perfect partner to bring our beloved Very Fairy Princess to a wider audience."
"Our family has enjoyed Nelvana's programs for years," said Walton Hamilton. "We have always been so impressed with their quality and their content. It's a joy and a privilege to be working with Nelvana now on bringing our Very Fairy Princess to life on television."
The animated TV series will focus on Geraldine, for whom being a very fairy princess is less about appearances than it is about knowing what makes your heart sing, and having the courage to share that with others. Slated to launch on air in 2016, the series will be jointly developed with Andrews and Walton Hamilton and produced at Nelvana Studio in Toronto.
