What happens

Nanny and the Professor is a 1972 American animated comedy TV movie based on the sitcom by the same name. The series' original cast reprised their roles from the live action series. Unlike in the television series, Nanny openly performs magic, while in the TV series it was only implied. The film was broadcast on September 30, 1972, as part of The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie. A sequel followed the next year: Nanny and the Professor and the Phantom of the Circus, which also aired on The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie on November 17, 1973. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
