SOFIA THE FIRST – “The Floating Palace”

Sofia the First is a staple cartoon in our home. Both Eva and Andrew adore Sofia or “Fia” as Andrew calls her. We DVR every episode so the kids can watch them over and over. Allison and I enjoy the show as well.

One of the recurring aspects of the show is that when Sofia has some trouble her amulet helps call upon the other Disney princesses for help. We’ve seen Cinderella, Jasmine and Belle so far. This isn’t something that happens in every episode, it is something that only occurs when Sofia really needs help. Most of the time she is a pretty capable kid who is the level headed one. But, sometimes she needs a bit of advice or a nudge int eh right direction. That help and advice sometimes comes from another princess.

Well, there is a new special coming on Sunday November 24 at 7pm on Disney channel and then again on thursday November 28th at 7pm on Disney Junior.

Here is the trailer for the special.

Here is the full press release about the special and some additional photos.

Where are the rest of the sisters? Why wasn’t there a set of all six sisters plus Ariel together made? I have no idea but being the completist that I am I would like to have seen this be a set of seven characters instead of three. But I’m not complaining because at least there are some other mermaids to play with besides Ariel and that is what we are talking about here, play.
