Sofia the First (2012–2018)
8/10
How to Become a Disney Princess
4 January 2021
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.
