Of the show’s three bullying episodes (the others being Substitute Cedric and The Fliegel Has Landed), I feel this is the strongest due to its more two sided nature (The Fliegel Has Landed also makes the conflict two sided, but with slightly less subtlety, while Substitute Cedric showcases more of victim retaliation, albeit really well). When Sofia goes to confront her, Lucinda then reveals that she only acts like this due to her parents, and wants to change. This episode has Sofia and Ruby helping Jade prepare for her birthday when they’re pranked by a young witch named Lucinda. This episode holds a special place in my heart since it reminds me of how my grandmother overcame some of the prejudices of her time. She then practiced with her father, who was once on the team, and while she didn’t win tryouts, she still made the team due to metabolism and determination, even beating out some of the school’s most accomplished runners. She wanted to try out for the track team, but was told that girls aren’t allowed. Much of what happened here actually happened with my grandmother in elementary school. Sofia is then shown practicing day and night, and manages to score a victory. Hugo may be archetypically sexist, though the episode makes him a great antagonist by showing how he’s simply fueled by a desire to win no matter what.
Amber is a little more persistent, but the talk she has later on about how she doesn’t want Sofia work is very heartfelt, and also works when you consider how the movie’s climax has her whack Wormwood with a broom. James initially has his sexist ideas, but drops them when Hugo insults Sofia, and he stands up for her, showing that he’s always there for his siblings no matter what.
SOFIA THE FIRST FOR ONE AND ALL MOVIE
The pilot movie helped establish how Sofia isn’t all about the archetypal princess given how she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty, so to speak, showcasing her adventurous streak well. This episode is a typical girl empowerment episode, yet does so in a tasteful manner. She then decides to try out for the tryout race anyway, but has difficulty staying on, and with Hugo’s criticism. However, since she’s a girl, she’s just told to just sit on the sidelines. Sofia is amazed by the flying derby team, and wants to try out. Our first entry is the first episode after the pilot movie. The entries will be in airing order, not how impactful they are to me or someone I know. I will briefly talk about certain elements on why the episode works, and how it applies to me or someone I know.ĥ. The episode’s lesson I will talk about will either be one that personally affected me, or affected someone that I personally know.Ĥ. For example, there are plenty of “great” and “amazing” episodes that may not make the list, while there could be “good” episodes that do make the list.ģ. How much I like the episode will not be a factor as to why an episode is on the list. I often gush about how bold the show’s movies are, but I figured I would purposefully talk about only regular episodes to show how impactful the lessons can be even without super high stakes.Ģ. Even then, there were a lot of choices to choose from. I chose 12 since it’s a multiple of both 4 and 6, and it’s still a reasonable amount for me. Why 12 you may ask? I was originally going to do 6 to represent the anniversary, but since the show ran for 4 seasons, it would’ve been awkward to do 1 lesson from 2 seasons, and 2 lessons from 2 seasons. And this is my tribute for the anniversary, my 12 favorite lessons from the series.
Many episode either made an overdone lesson feel fresh and new, or tackled something new and bold very well.
One of the many things that attracted me to the show, besides it characters, were its lessons. So, Sofia The First turns 6 years old today. Each 22-minute episode of “Sofia the First” follows Sofia as she goes on an adventure and either learns some lesson herself or helps others around her learn a lesson.Hey everyone. On her journey, Sofia will discover that looking like royalty isn’t all that difficult, but being a true princess has to come from the heart.Ĭreated for kids age 2-7 and their parents/caregivers, the stories in “Sofia the First” are designed to communicate positive messages and life lessons applicable to young children. With her mother, Miranda, now married to King Roland II, Sofia has to learn the royal ropes! To help Sofia along the way are the three headmistresses of Royal Prep Academy, Fauna, Flora and Merryweather, her royal steward, Baileywick, and a group of cute woodland creatures led by a wise-talking rabbit, Clover. Once upon a time in the kingdom of Enchancia, Sofia became a princess. Disney has announced that the first four seasons of the popular Disney Junior series, “Sofia The First,” are coming to Disney+ in the United States on Wednesday, 12th October 2022.
