Sofia the First (aka Sofia) is a 3D computer-animated television series featuring the Disney princesses. The series stars Ariel Winter as seven-year old Sofia, a young girl who becomes a princess when her mother marries King Roland II of the kingdom of Enchancia.

The series premiered on January 11, 2013 on Disney Channel and Disney Junior. The series pilot, "Once Upon A Princess" premiered on November 18, 2012. On March 5, 2013, Disney Junior renewed Sofia the First for a second season.[2]

Synopsis

With the help of the three fairies in charge of the Royal Training Academy — Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather of Disney’s Sleeping Beauty — and, on occasion, classic Disney Princess characters including Cinderella, Jasmine, and several others-Sofia learns that looking like a princess is not all that hard, but behaving like one must come from the heart. Sofia will wear plenty of pretty sparkly and colorful gowns and shoes, but the stories will focus on the idea that what makes a real princess is what's on the inside. The series will highlight character qualities such as kindness, generosity, loyalty, honesty, and grace. She has the incredibly powerful magical Amulet of Avalor that grants her the ability to talk to and understand animals, but is coveted by the evil sorcerer Cedric who wants its great magical power so he can use it to take over the kingdom as King Cedric the Great.

Reception

In October 2012, Disney confirmed that Sofia is their first Latina princess. According to a Disney spokeswoman, "...Sofia's mother, Queen Miranda, was born in a fictitious land, Galdiz, a place with Latin influences. Miranda met Sofia's father, Birk Balthazar, who hailed from the kingdom of Freezenberg, and together they moved to Enchancia, where Sofia was born." As a result, some people have criticized a lack of cultural signifiers or ethnic identity in Sofia's character.[3]

Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess premiered on Disney Channel on November 18, 2012, and had 5.2 million viewers.[4]

Merchandise

A range of Sofia the First merchandise has been launched by the Disney Store in the US, including costumes, books, toy figures, and homeware.[5] Products have also been launched in the UK.[6]
