The
Disney Junior series
Sofia the First features a young girl whose mother marries into royalty, making the title character a princess-in-training. With the help of the Royal Training Academy -- led by Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, who will be recognized by experienced
Disney watchers from the original Sleeping Beauty film -- Sofia promises to learn a batch of lessons about how being a princess isn't necessarily concerned with how you look, but how you act. Guest appearances come from all manner of classic Disney princesses, including Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Rapunzel, Mulan, Tiana, and Pocahontas. Voices include Ariel Winter as Sofia, Jess Harnell as the evil wizard Cedric,
Sara Ramírez as the Queen, and
Wayne Brady as a jive-talking rabbit. ~ John Bush
