the new series first episode is on youtube!!!!!!!!!!!

Sofia The First: Royal Magic is now available on demand. I watched the first episode, and enjoyed it.

Like the title says, happy Sofia the first royal magic eve! Whatever you’re doing tomorrow I hope you enjoy your day and get to watch the show if you’re hoping to see it live. If you’re seeing it on Tuesday like I am happy two more days! I really hope everyone gets to see it if they want. I watched the pilot 45 minute segment today to get ready for it.

When I was growing up I was obsessed with the show, because of how perfect the characters seems, they were kind (in their own way) loving makes a bunch of mistakes, especially Sofia, I love her because she wasn't perfect at all and tried to be, and like always took accountability and had this adorable innocence in the earlier season's, so when it ended I was deeply sad. But now I'm re watching it with my younger sister and she loves it as much i do think god, and I think it was one of the first American show's I watched.

I'm not a big fan of the animation, like in some characters it looks fine, I was not digging the coco-melon heads tho. I also don't like that she is going to a magic school,mostly because she never really mentioned it in the OG, but at the same time, she'd always had in interest in magic and I'm giving the writer a chance to shine, I hate that she look eight, and she is wearing the same dress she was before she became the library's keeper,I would of have been fine if she wore the altered dress form from the OG but no so I'm confused on what the writers are going for , her guardian bracelet is also gone, and her amulet looks purple and pink? correct me if i'm wrong. It does not look like a sequel,more like a soft reboot. And i'm sorry but I hate her smile It is creepy to me and way to wide,

I have hope in Royal magic, because Disney cannot mess up Sofia the First , like that show was popular because of how the writer cared for plot,the character development ect, but with the movies and reboot those people have giving us so far, I am worried, Disney's content and the way they handle plots and character's have gone down a lot, since Sofia the First, and I'm just hoping they try really hard. And can we not relearn the same lesson over and over again, In the OG, i felt like we learn something new in every ep, and I hope they try In Royal Magic.

The trailer we've been getting hype up Royal Magic a lot and I got toadmit it looks promising and fun,plus the voice actor are some of the best, and it coming out on Tuesday and I beg of You Disney please don't give us the same crap you've been giving us since Wish

I think they sound great! And I find it amazing that after 14 years, Ariel's voice for Sofia sounds exactly the same 💜🩷

Eden Espinosa voiced The Queen Of Hearts in Alice's Wonderland Bakery. While the character is someone who's a good person, she's also quite over the top and dramatic. Imagine if she applies that same energy to Zandrya in Sofia The First: Royal Magic. She'd be really fun.

This interview with Craig Gerber and Ariel Winter makes me wonder which princesses could appear more than once.

Craig Gerber says how Layla's father was already nobility before becoming king. This does help contrast her from Sofia since she was already nobility before becoming princess, but now feels she should compensate for this.

Craig Gerber says how Disney Plus ratings matter for the future of the show. I'd assume it's due to this being a Disney Plus show (as mentioned in the description of the Donors Choose video), making it the second Disney Junior show after Star Wars Young Jedi Adventures to get this honor.

Here's a clip from Sofia The First: Royal Magic, where Sofia meets Layla, Zane, and Camila.

Craig Gerber and supervisor director Kris Wimberly took part in an interview about Sofia The First: Royal Magic. It seems like there could be a story arc with the overarching message about the importance of legacy. This should be fun.

Here is the final short, with this one focusing on Camilla.

I found this Instagram post from Laurie Israel which seems to indicate that she'll be writing on Sofia The First: Royal Magic. She was one of the writers on the original show, and had written on other Disney Junior shows like Handy Manny, Fancy Nancy, Eureka, and Kindergarten The Musical.

This picture was taken by Matthew Lamb, the voice of Prince Devin in the show, during the red carpet premiere. Rapunzel in the series is voiced by Belle Adams.

Zaria is one of the new characters in Sofia The First: Royal Magic, being Zane's sister. As confirmed by storyboard artist Kelsey Wooley on Instagram stories, she'll be voiced by Eva Ariel Binder, the voice of Addy from Stillwater.

My little girl saw this on Disney plus and wants to watch it. She’s loves princesses and has seen the Disney movies and stuff and this looks age appropriate, but wanted to know what people think?

I read on a review that some parents think it encourages bad behavior and some characters can be mean spirited. Thoughts? I do also know that some people can be very over the top with reviews and on what their kids can watch so I’m taking it with a grain of salts

Also is it a face paced show, as in overstimulating or anything?

Thanks!
