Disney will be introducing a little girl princess in an animated television movie and series, “Sofia the First,” premiering in fall 2012 and spring 2013 respectively, on Disney Channel and Disney Junior.
I immediately told my 4 year old daughter, and she was ready to watch it “right now”!! She loves all the Disney princesses of course, but I think there will be a special place in her heart for Princess Sofia, because she is a little girl herself.
Here’s a little bit about the movie/series:
“Sofia the First” stories are set in the storybook world of young Sofia who starts out life as a regular girl. But when her mom marries the king, she is whisked off to a glamorous, but sometimes confusing, castle world of royalty, pomp and new step-siblings, Amber and James. “Sofia the First” will include appearances by Fauna, Flora and Merryweather (fairies seen in Disney’s classic “Sleeping Beauty”) as the headmistresses of Royal Prep, the academy that Sofia, along with other princes and princesses, attends. Special event appearances will be made by classic characters including Cinderella and other Disney Princesses.
The series will deal with things young girls struggle with – “learning how to fit in, making new friends, conquering new skills and building sibling relationships,” in addition to showing that it’s character traits like kindness and honesty that make you special, not a certain dress or title.
Guess whose voices you’ll be hearing :
- Wayne Brady (“Whose Line Is It Anyway?) as Clover, a wise-talking Rabbit
- Tim Gunn (“Project Runway”) as Baileywick, the family’s Royal Steward.
How fun is that? I know a certain little girl who can’t wait!
