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.

This has been a wonderful experience for a Fantasy Series, Thank You Disney!
c19906 November 2018
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.

The thing I liked about this show: it can be for anyone.
No matter how old or young you are,you can find yourself relating to Sofia in so many way.
The series finale was sad to and I hated to see my favorite Character disappear.
Sofia really teaches you the little things in life and that's what makes it appeal to me.

SofiaTheFirst

Since the first episode I watched I just fell in love. First of all Sofia is just such a cute lovable little girl. She is kind, and sweet, and caring. There are also plenty of musicals throughout the show. I am a 22 year old and I love this show. Normally Im not a big fan of Dinsey shows ( I think they are dumb and unoriginal ), but this is just such a great show and one actually learns good virtues. There should be more shows like this out there instead of shows that just kill people's neurons. I would honestly recommend this show to anyone. I would be upset or anxious about taking exams and just watching Sofia be brave and go against other's negative thoughts that she can't do it,it just gives me motivation and reminds me I can do anything I put my mind to.
A beautiful and whimsical show.
Shopaholic3528 June 2014
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.

Sofia the Cutest
kimnaeun2 August 2017
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.

just lovely
Vincentiu21 March 2015
its great virtue - courage to not be original. than - the old fashion message who reminds the dreams of little girls to be princesses, the magic of Disney from the creator 's movies, the joy of childhood, the moral lessons in convincing, sweet forms. a princess like each of her viewers- nice, clever, wise in many moments, innocent, fan of justice. and a seductive universe around her. short - a series who must see it. not only for drawings or music, for the status of vehicle to a lovely universe but for an interesting script who teach in the right manner. Sofia the First is almost an oasis for its public. and the best thing is the measure who defines it.
An annoying insult to children's intelligence
captainjack_da27 March 2017
This show is an annoying pile of ugly. Why do you reviewers think it is so great. The show is so boring and i hate Sofia. She is such an annoying brat. The comedy is horrendous. Watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It teaches kids things and does thru creative animation and stories. I think this is the worst Disney cartoon, or even the worst show on Disney.

A Timeless Disney series for everyone to enjoy
johnlabouyer20 January 2014
I have always liked Disney movies and T.V. shows. This T.V. series is something everyone will enjoy. If you haven't watched Sofia the First yet, maybe you should try watching it with your children to enjoy this timelessly beloved Princess. She teaches everyone valuable lessons about how to work with one another. Our favorite moments are when we share our love to our friends and family. Everyone will cherish their memories watching this too. If we always help each other, we will be loved by one another. Sofia has such a loving heart and a kind and caring side whenever someone's in trouble. I wish everyone could see a good side of themselves and remember the importance of what it takes to be a good helper in case something happens and reach out to give a hand to that person or even an animal. I enjoyed watching this series and everyone will too. Many memories live within us and we will always cherish them as a part of our hearts and great deeds.
I Tried So Hard To Hate This Show
TheBadGamingBoy30 May 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I just really wanted to hate this show because it was a show for little girls. But I couldn't help myself. After a couple of hours of watching Sofia, I just had to admit to myself that I LOVE the show. It is such a remarkable one and teaches kids lessons. Like how you should give some people second chances and how you need to be nice to your friends no matter who's around. Sofia is absolutely adorable and almost perfect. If she ever makes a mistake, she apologizes and doesn't do it again. It is a nice show that teaches kids lessons as I said before. I would highly recommend this show to anyone who has a 5 year old or younger girl who wants to be a princess and learn proper manners and lessons!
Best TV Show
yqng-5775322 September 2019
I hope they can continue the story of Sofia the First, best TV Show ever and good education for children. My parents already more than 80 years old and they also like it very much. Thank you very much to all the staffs and members who contributed to this TV series. Love you all.
special
Kirpianuscus22 January 2017
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.
A nightmare that came to life
lrose-1306830 December 2020
The words to describe this disgrace are annoying, awful, and true torture machine. In the parts I have seen of it all I saw was awful plots singing dragons and a ugly Pegasus. A summary of one part is ok u have uncontrollable super powers that are a danger to society and rabbit legs come with me to a horrible spoof of the ice queen and if u sing to her she will start tap dancing. Nothing makes any sense and not in a good way. In conclusion this is 1/100000 of the things wrong with two of the episodes.
Intelligent & Charming Stories
koltonbrett28 December 2021
My daughter, and both of her parents, have watched this show all the way through multiple times. The stories are intelligent and likable enough that it doesn't bother us having to watch the same episodes again and again. Sofia is sweet and kind and is a great little role model for our daughter. The show teaches generally accepted and important lessons about forgiveness, looking out for others, being kind, helpful, and humble. The songs are well written, creative and catchy. Each episode is cute and full of imagination. It's neat how they incorporate famous Disney princesses into the stories. I have a feeling my daughter will be watching this show for years to come.

The real Princess Sophia.
w-0832316 March 2020
This cartoon tells children what a real princess is. The real princess is as brave, sincere and innovative as Sophia. It can even be said that as long as they have these princess traits, every girl is a princess.Sophia's songs are also great, meaningful lyrics, lively tunes, I junior high school when a composition quoted a few lyrics, for the article a lot of color.Love you😘
A Must For Disney Princess Fans, Adults and Kids Alike!
jaslieschke24 August 2018
I was surprised watching this for the first time with the level of depth that this show goes to, not only in creating lovable and memorable characters but a world that we all would want to drift away to in our dreamy fantasies.
Sofia is an adorable new princess in crown in the Kingdom of Enchancia after her mother marries the King and like any new princess she's going to need help. Her magical amulet calls upon many Disney Princesses to help this young Princess in training during her time of need. Through the help of these Princesses and many others, Sofia and her companions will learn valuable life lessons on friendship, kindness, honesty, family and teamwork. All the while exploring a rich and well thought out world that gradually expands with each season.
Sofia the First is exciting and full of episodes that constantly expand on existing characters and frequently adds new exciting locations like kingdoms and unique lands to explore alongside Sofia.
It's worst pitfall is brought about by the occasional episode that isn't as exciting or has a predictable plot, but in saying that with any series that is bound to be the case. So, if you can look past that then buckle in because it's one fantastical ride!
Overall this is a series that I absolutely love and would recommend to anyone even an adult. If you are willing to look past the "target audience" and love Princesses I know you'll absolutely fall in love with Sofia the First.

I did scroll down the reviews on this, and saw someone who's 22 that watches this. I'm 21 and I do sometimes watch this show. I'm quite convinced that this show is rather interesting to look into compared to most of the random cartoon shows I've seen. I actually have a friend that works at Ala Moana on a Disney store that actually has her around all things Disney, which includes Sofia the First and so much more. Aside from that, the story does look well organized, each with a lesson learned in this. After all, who doesn't want to like being a princess? Girls who watch this should learn from this. The one thing that does question me is if they'll do a lot more appearances for the other Disney princesses. I would be a lot more impressed if they actually would do that.
Fantasia 2012
raben-8114618 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
11 years ago Sofia the First began, and it´s about a faraway land where Sofia the First lives with her royal family and friends. The first episode is like a crossover of the Fantasia part with pegasus and Equestria Girls. There is also a lot of Disney cameos too that includes the three fairies from Sleep Beauty. Some boys and men might enjoy the fantasy settings, and girls going out to empty the wallet for Sofia the First merchandise. The CGI is well done that ranks from the pegasus races to the forest, the medieval settings and critters. Sofia and her friends will still goes out on adventures for years with the continuity called Elena and the Secret of Avalor.
I love it so much

One of the Finest Children's/Family Shows
bill_allison17 August 2019
The show excels - it teaches fine Christ-like morality without preaching, has a good mix of action & comedy, and many memorable songs. (There are funnier comedies, but this is not intended to be a full comedy show.) It teaches many fine lessons in social interaction, and how to understand people and their feelings. The animation is high quality CGI, and improved each season as computing technology improved. All of the voice actors are successful TV or Broadway actors and many are fine singers, which makes the show even better. Every show is carefully crafted, then reviewed by children before the story boards are animated. It had been the highest rated cable-TV animated children's show ever. However, in the last season, some ignorant people (maybe inspired by the devil) began a ludicrous social media rumor that the show was teaching Devil Worship! The viewer ratings suddenly dropped and the show was cancelled.
The show has enough story-line and complexity to keep adults entertained along with simpler elements that entertain the children. There are many TV shows that a child may like, but the adults will find boring or tedious. This is not one of those shows.

dffrench-2677318 December 2023
She so fine and pretty and a real Disney Princess
She was a cute girl. The songs were absolutely stunning! Every single one of them! Sofia teaches children a different good message each episode in a fun way. She is capable of doing so many magical things in this magical kingdom. She faced countless villains in all different sizes and forms, yet she stands strong. And, did I mention the songs? They're so catchy! I've listened to some of the songs over and over again a couple years ago, and I still remember all the lyrics! All the voices and music are very well composed. Sofia The First so cute.
