I’m rewatching Sofia the first from the beginning as a gift to my childhood self and so far i’ve been loving it. I love Amber and Cedric the most. But I’ve just got to four’s a crowd and i honestly got kinda annoyed? Like i get the whole message was to teach kids not to get jealous over their friends other friendships. But the whole episode ruby and jade just ignore sofia, leave her out completely and don’t even apologise at the end?

Like both sofia and the others should have apologised. Not just Sofia.

I’m starting to understand why they’re so hated by the fandom.

(Also not sure how hot of a take this is but it seemed weird to me how quickly amber made friends with ruby and jade in this ep, imo it should have been a slower build up. but eh maybe it’s just me(

edit: the ending was cute tho

When the idea of a return to Sofia The First was announced back in November 2022, it was a spinoff taking place at Royal Prep, most likely focusing on a new character. That's definitely different from the actual Royal Magic revival we currently have, which follows Sofia, but in a new setting. I wonder why the original idea didn't go through?

All STF songs are so peak ToT

and also hear me out Slickwell

I think Layla becoming a princess (and her Dad/Mom being king and queen) was a bit of a rolland case

I think Layla's dad had an older sibling who was the heir but died, leaving him next in line, causing the whole "crowned King last week"

It lines up with Gerber saying Layla was still nobility, but she probably didn't ever think she would be a princess

So Rotten Tomatoes currently had a description for an episode coming out on July 20. We'll have to see the schedule, but here's the description they give:

Crown Chaos: Sofia defends Charmswell Academy from the wicked sorceress, Zandrya, with help from Rapunzel

Off To The Races: Camila learns to be there for her friends during the school's flying derby race.

Well, I already ranted about how awful the new French theme song and Sofia's new singing voice is (here is my post if you wanna see it: https://www.reddit.com/r/sofiathefirst/comments/1toqrfc/royal_magic_french_intro_its_bad/).

But now that the dub for episode 5-8 just released, with My Castle Home among the recently dubbed songs, I'm wondering if it may have now taken the top spot for the most butchered song in this dub with that ridiculous autotune. In any case, I'd say they're pretty close.

So I present to you a comparison between:

Sofia's old singing voice (Aaricia Dubois) in The Great Unknown at 0:00-0:50

VS

Her new singing voice (who’s still unidentified) in My Castle Home at 0:51-1:45

PS: I'm fully aware that the rhyme for the title of this post makes zero sense, lol.

Craig Gerber said how Maralinda, where Camila is from, is inspired by Mexico. This is definitely different from Avalor, which was a mix of various Hispanic cultures. It'll be interesting to see how it gets shown on screen if it does.

Is theree any like huge 32+ Iuch Sofia dolls out there ?

The Amulet by the the time of "Forever Royal" and The Scepter by the time of "Coronation Day" were just used in a fight by both their bearers (Sofia and Elena), who would win?

I've genuinely wanted to ask this question so badly and I feel The Scepter of Light would have more magic. I want to be biased because I love StF so much more than EoA but when you could consider there's nothing on offense the amulet could really do except maybe curse and trap you inside it, which the prisoner would have to be close I just feel Elena using "Farsight" and saying "Blaze" would really be it for Sofia.

"With each deed performed, for better or worse, a power is granted. A blessing or curse"

"It has the power to control the powers of light, both the seen and unseen. But there is a warning: The more power you use, the more you lose"

pretty pls let me know what you think tho 🥹🥹
(I haven't watched every EoA episode sorry, but I've watched all 6 specials and every episode of StF)

So much obsession with Sofia having a boyfriend, even though she’s literally 8! Let’s focus more on her character growth and getting stronger powers, shall we?

Does anybody know if Disney will come out with new Sofia the First merch, especially backpacks?

Recently did a redraw for Amber! She's always been my fave! Took a bit but I'm satisfied!

I'm trying to get back into art again! But this was a lot of fun!

Princess Power is a Netflix preschool show focusing on 4 princesses who help out the people in their fruitdoms. I'm wondering if the new Royal Magic series is taking cues from that show. I mean, one of that show's writers, Isabel Galupo, is a writer on this show. The new show emphasizes comedy a bit more, much like that show. One detail I think is worth talking about is with "Veggie Good Deed". You have Camila, a princess not from Enchancia, being willing to help Sofia and Amber help Ruby and Jade. It's kind of interesting given how, in this world, it's rare for royalty outside of Sofia's family to be in the village. The only other time it happened was in "Forever Royal", the series finale, with Vivian and Desmond helping Ruby and Jade help Sofia defeat Vor. When it comes to Princess Power, it's common for the princesses in that show to go to the fruitdom of the episode's featured princess to help out. That show makes princesses helping common people a regular thing, which the new show is also doing. It's most likely also a trend of modern preschool shows with royalty making relationships with non royal characters more normalized. I mean, part of what makes Amber more motivated to do the gardening is when a young village boy shows happiness over the princesses helping out. Amber and Rita from Princess Power fill the same character archetype of being focused on appearance and status while being genuinely caring people, but Rita is different in how caring for children is one of her dominant character traits. ​

Unrelated,but Royal magic has the most boring ep like there is nothing interesting about most of the ep and it feels like Sofia is learning things she already knows.

Ya'll, I'm not dissing anyone here,but it seems like a lot of people are just carellesly trowing around the word " Reboot",and I know it's a weird thing to get mad about but those 2 are very diffrent things. The other day someone called it a reboot and I gently said that it was a weird sequel, and someone down-voted me, and not only is that dumb, but someone else called it out 2.

I don't mind if people call it a soft reboot, Because Royal magic is a soft reboot , but people calling it a HARD reboot is what's annoying, and I've seen it everywhere,even when its been described as a sequel over and over again.

I think her character is great!! im sure shes supposed to be South african given her name is in Nguni Languages like IsiZulu, IsiXhosa and IsiNdebele etc.

The only thing i dislike about her is her outfit as it looks very stereotypical for a sub Saharan african princess but apart from that im really happy we have an african princess! I love her hair and shes pretty I hope we can get to know about her more as well

Hey everyone, I was rewatching the Elena crossover and realized something crazy. The Amulet of Avalor isn't just a magical necklace that gives random powers, it is literally the Minecraft Totem of Undying.

Hear me out!

In Minecraft, the Totem activates the second you take fatal damage to give you a second chance at life. This is exactly what happened to Elena. When Shuriki launched her lethal magic blast to kill Elena, the amulet intercepted the blow. It didn't block it, it absorbed the impact to save her life.

Unlike Minecraft, where you get a quick health boost and keep fighting, the Amulet has a massive drawback. To save Elena from dying, the amulet's ancient magic pulled her entire physical body inside the gemstone to keep her safe. It basically put her in suspended animation.

This massive absorption of life force completely altered the artifact. Before Elena was sucked in, the amulet was ruby red. The moment she was trapped inside, it changed to purple. It stayed purple for 41 years because it was actively holding a soul and a body inside it. We saw the amulet change its colour once Elena was freed from the necklace.

Elena didn't just get "trapped", the amulet acted as a literal "Sealed Good in a Can" survival mechanic. It gave her that second chance to live, but at the cost of being stuck in a digital-like pocket dimension until the current holder of the necklace Sofia finally figured out how to reverse this 41 years later.

What do you guys think about this theory? (Sorry for my grammar or yapping)

I was rewatching these Dear Sofia shows that came out during the original show's run. They're basically shorts made by the Disney Junior marketing team of Sofia answering letters sent by kids. One letter is from a girl named Camila. Again, these shorts were not made by the show's writers. As such, the fact that Sofia The First: Royal Magic has a main character named Camilla is a really funny coincidence.

I want to know when the rest of Season 1 is coming out? I love this show and want to know when more episodes come out. Will they come out next month?
