Maybe they didn’t entirely think about it because this is meant to be set in sort of late Victorian era, so royalty still had that moral taboo on divorce at the time.

Or they could’ve just never thought about it, but my theory is that they were just following patterns of royalty for the time for the basic structure.

Olaf would wear an orange dress due to his obsession with summer and to also contrast wonderfully with his snowy skin. To show while he may stand out against his natural environment he is still comfortable with himself.

[@slashbat2375]

21:15 zach callison, the voice of Steven universe, was the original va for James. Also, fun fact about grayson goss, the va for Hugo, he's a gambling addict that's a notorious scammer and does a great spongebob impression. He scammed the streamer Ludwig, and Ludwig even confronted him on stream. It was a whole thing. You can probably find a compilation of the whole timeline on KZbin

[@njivwathomassilavwe2056]

This show was very fun. Some of the songs are still stuck in my head. Sofia was more awesome and OP than she had Any right to be. I remember feeling very smart when I first connected the Amulet of Avalor to Elena of Avalor

[@moonprincesst.s.h.4ever115]

Yes! Please make a deep drive video for Elena! This show had me, a grown adult, running home to see what happens next! 👑 Also, congratulations to you and Isabella on getting your own place. I have been watching your videos since the 2020 global craziness and I know that you were trying to do that for a while now. I wanted to thank you for your videos. I have Cerebral Palsy and chronic pain, and your videos have helped me get through the day. 🥰

[@KeeKage37]

42:38 WHAT?! All right. I’m convinced this amulet is just sending random Disney princesses and characters at this point.

[@beagarcia8607]

the whole point of olaf being there was because the amulet had been messed with and it didn't work well, it was trying to bring elsa or anna

[@samaccardi]

My youngest sister is 11 years younger than me, and I used to watch this with her when I would come home from university, and she was like 7. I was always surprised how good and watchable it was even as an adult watching a kids show.

[@dr.RadhaKumar]

Yeah me too . I used to watched with my little sister . It's really deep and more meaningful when you re-watch as nostalgia. Also my sister and I have almost generation gap so it's nice have something in common to talk about.

[@RGC_animation]

I think this show did a very good job at making Sophia a likeable happy-go-lucky character without making her obnoxious or annoying, like many other kids shows do by making their characters basically perfect.

[@thefluffywaffle8388]

An Elena of Avalor video would be awesome as long as you say her name right! Please for the love of white people don’t say it like Ellen-ah😭 they literally sing her name like 20 times in the theme song Also as a kid, I saw the trailers/ads for the new show Elena of Avalor and as a Sofia the First fan I absolutely freaked out cuz the kingdom is the name of the the amulet in the show! It was my first time seeing a show crossover so I was super hyped. And the special did not disappoint!

[@blairharris4021]

As well as saying estaban how ever he spells it name correctly too

[@Carouseldaydreams]

Yeah! It’s Elaine-uh!

[@savvasf7136]

In my language (Greek) it's ellen-ah which is also a Greek name

[@sparxstreak02]

19:13 STILL salty we never got to see Amber as an ACTUAL mermaid in one of the Merroway Cove episodes 😒

[@fiyah__]

Sofia the First was introduced to me by my baby sister. There was a lot of questionable content kids watch on KZbin etc but Sofia the First was one of the very few shows that I give the full green light to my sister and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it as well. I'm 22 now and despite my sister doesn't watch this show, I'm still in love with this show an would occasionally comeback to it and watch a couple of episodes

[@dr.RadhaKumar]

Yeah my little sister and I have almost a generation gap so it's nice to have something in common to talk about

[@zerotohero14]

I would love an Elena of Avalor review! When i was a nanny, Sofia the First was great, so when the kids were getting older Elena came around at just the right time. Also: Holy crap is Aunt Tilly played by Kathy Najimy?!

[@creation1233]

I personally liked the season 4 ending for two reasons, 1 they gave Cedric more time to go cool which is always good, and 2 as much as it showed sofia getting help from others it was nice to see the change from “ask others” to “you gotta figure it out” cause if I’m getting the rating right (which I could not be) the show was made for kids going into school for the first time or changing into middle school. Which is a good time for kids to learn they can be by themselves for a moment which I think was a good way for kids to find a little courage when in that new environment. As for Elana of Avalore I AM IN FAVORE OF COVERING IT! This show is one of my favorites (mainly because it wasn’t the white princess that is so common) I would love to know how you end up feeling about Esteban cause it’s a pretty big divider between fans

[@FemmSalem]

In the Little Mermaid 2, it is established that she and her daughter both can switch between tails and feet. The ending of the movie is literally just that.

[@meganharding5100]

I love that like it uses the settings to show. Not only a to build a sibling relationship. For for family, my family is like that and by that I mean like families that just now got together. But now with it, do they do that and a stick away but It also shows why it's important to share perspectives and you know uncover the. The little bumps that you might not realize you have and kind of smooth that out. You know becoming more Accepting why taking others experiences and perspectives are so important.Because it makes you more rounded and understanding

James is voiced by Zach Callison! You know...Steven Universe

I grew a grey hair every time you said Elena wrong. But other than that I was waiting for this video and you did not disappoint. Congratulations on the move btw.

[@Rusiachibi]

There's a shoujo manga that is like, if Kingdom Hearts and Sofia the First got smashed together called Kilala Princess, I recommend checking it out.

[@HollyheartTheCatQueen]

Yes!!! It's a fantastic manga 10/10 would recommend

[@islathefoxchild2120]

I loved Sofia the first growing up! My sister and I sang the songs together and being adopted, the sibling dynamics were relatable to us. Wonderfully written and the show will always be special to me because it reminds me of her 🤍

[@swirliesweets]

With the weird canon of Ariel, maybe she’s able to turn back into a mermaid somehow? Since Sofia’s able to become one, it doesn’t seem like it would be impossible, and it would allow Ariel to be able to visit her father and such in a much safer manner. If she ended up married to Prince Eric, maybe she was known as a human princess and not as a mermaid one?

[@Superlad9494]

Ariel's Post- movie books explain that Triton changes her whenever she wants.

[@Carouseldaydreams]

@@Superlad9494and the second movie (whether you consider it canon or not) pretty much established that

[@KikuoLover-d7j]

Personally, I would have thought that its the GHOST of mermaid ariel, like the other princesses. Going along with that, maybe Ariel is actually human and not mermaid and that's just the past. Idk.

[@doubleflores8350]

Just imagine if they made a sequel series to this show where Sofia finds out her amulet was created by an evil sorcerer who lost his physical form thousands of years ago and now is planning to get the amulet back and take over the ever realm… so it’s basically Lord of the Rings but the hobbits and Gandalf are replaced with Sofia, James, Ruby, Jade, and Merlin… Why can’t I get this idea out of my head?!!!

[@Mera2300]

Don't forget Prince Hugo!!!! Her future Beau!!!

[@gtd5626]

@doubleflores8350 They are making a future series , it's coming in 2026. The only thing we know so far is that it'll be about Sofia going to a magic school with 2 11-minute stories in an episode, each with a song.

[@MickeyMousekefan]

I haven't watched Sofia the First since I was about 6, and recently, I've been watching Modern Family, which features Ariel Winter, the voice of Sofia, and Eric Stonestreet, who voices Sofia's horse, Maximus. I knew Ariel played Sofia, but I didn't realize she also played Alex on Modern Family. I also didn't know that Eric was on Sofia the First until I started watching Modern Family. Knowing that both actors from Modern Family were also on Sofia the First has made me want to revisit the show. I think I can appreciate the show and it's story a lot more than I did when I was little. It seems like it's definitely up there as one of the best Disney Junior shows from what I've heard.

[@Zombiewithice]

Watching this made me realize I have watched every Sofia the first episode

[@xqzqcv7950]

22 34 minute mark, it is indeed so much more fun being wicked. Like wicked things are objectively funner, on order of magnitude. Not even a contest

The appearance of Jasmine makes more sense when you take into account "Enchanted Tales".

I've been crushing on the dress Sofia's Mom wears since I first layed eyes on it. A GIANT PINK BOW RIGHT ON THE CHEST?! Yeah I'm jealous.

I didn't know I needed a one-hour video essay about a barely known (at least here in Hungary) Disney Princess cartoon, but here we are... I'll go grab some snacks. Just wanna say, I'm so happy there's someone on the internet making vids about such niche interests :3

[@trivialwriting6608]

I know this was a small part of the video, but I just like the mention of your sister. It’s really wholesome. Great video btw. Also, you’re right. Siblings don’t like each other, and we love each other. I mean, when I came out, who were the first ones at my side when my parents kicked me out? My brothers.

[@Emma-ou6jq]

16:40 do sequels count in this universe? If so there is a little mermaid sequel and at the end the underwater kingdom and Eric’s kingdom are essentially one giant kingdom now but that still would mean mermaids were definitely known about. Unless the entirety of Eric’s kingdom kept it a secret from the world?

[@Superlad9494]

Eric's kingdom usually does keep it secret because Eric's kingdom actually respects why King Triton would be so nervous about it.
