Sofia the First

When I first came across Sofia the first, my expectations were kind of low, because it was labeled as Disney Junior. I was babysitting my cousin at the time and I was tired of it. Anyways, I found this show on Netflix and started watching with my little cousin. Then, I fell in love with this show.

Sofia looks really adorable. She has a chubby cheek, very cute smile and many facial expressions. Also her personality isn't perfect, but she has genuine feelings and morals, which makes her very likable person.

The stories are quite simple, yet not too shabby. It's not dramatic, or complicated, and anyone in the show make mistakes and reflect upon themselves and learn what they have done wrong. There's no permanent antagonist or protagonist.

I would recommend this show to age 5-20 girls.

each animation is special. because it reminds the flavor of childhood to the parents, discovers the magnificent worlds of fiction to child, gives new dimension to time, life, love and joy. but "Sofia the First" is not an ordinary case. because it use the princess theme in a precise and inspired manner. it is a down to earth animation, a sort of guide for young public in which errors and events and meets and good facts, moral values and fight against evil are not exactly parts of magic universe but pieces of each new day. and this is a precious virtue because the series represents , almost, a didactic tool. sure, the ingredients of fairy tale are not ignored but the message is more profound. and more practical. so, a special series. nothing else.

Probably the first show that Sienna watched, already around 2014, I think? And I'm not even sure how, because we didn't have a TV then. It must have been a combination of marketing at Walmart and other retailers with episodes (including episodes in Spanish) available on YouTube, and then eventually iTunes purchases. Since then it has been an off-and-on favorite of both kids (mostly in Spanish translation) through 2019. It's not bad, but a little too much of a massive Disney advertisement for my taste: the underlying message that any girl, even "commoners," can become a princess by learning, and the regular cameos by "real" Disney princesses such as Ariel, is thinly veiled marketing. But at least Sofia's step-sister Amber is in line for the crown, and Sofia's kind-hearted actions are promoted, instead of Amber's usually bratty behavior.

No matter what, little girls are always going to want to be princesses. Sofia the first is the perfect princess for little girls to look up to. She may not always get everything right but she genuinely tries to be kind-hearted and compassionate towards all. Most importantly she learns from her mistakes that even the best of us can make.

Aside from the strong moral values of the show, Disney has created a beautiful kingdom that will entrance you. There is magic, fun, the occasional song and each episode is very entertaining. We also can't forget Sofia's animal friends that can talk to her. It is a truly whimsical adventure that all children young and old can enjoy.

By the time I've gotten watching this series in early 2015, By the time it happened on Ariel Winter's Birthday, I've started to hooked into it, As it begins, Sofia was with James and Amber (Children) as well as King Roland and Queen Miranda (Parents), They went into many different adventures of musical and decision making, Sometimes like Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures they solve problems and helping others on being supportive and teamwork.

I've enjoyed this Series, Sometimes it has Hits and Misses, When sometimes when sofia clones herself where she was the opposite of being or mean, I've found that a little disturbing, She also enjoys on Wild Fantastic Rides with Princesses that were found in Different Disney Movies, In some story episodes that one Princess would explained on the life that happened on their role of helping their Prince in harm or danger, and sharing their moments.

Note: The one thing I've got to see is "Once Upon a Princess".

With that being said, It has been a pleasureable viewing experience that I will enjoy it over and over again, I recommend this to whoever fall in love with the Different Disney Princesses that they grew up with.

It has a Strong Pleasant Ending, to say the least, It had a good run of Its Own, It has its spinoff Series titled: "Elena of Avalor" (which that show is still running).

My Favorite Story Episodes which I do Love from this series were, The Leafsong Festival, Sidekick Clio, and Lord of the Rink.

I'm sure that many people that love this series, will enjoy it over and over again and so do I.

Thanks for reading my review.
