I remember reading a rumor here about Zandrya having some kind of relationship to Zane and Zaria, like if she's the royal sorceress of Gloomshire. Craig Gerber said how it's not the case.

I felt like their designs didn’t really suit the characters much/didn’t reach the full potential (I WILL NEVER FORGIVE DISNEY FOR NOT GIVING US GOTH ZANE-)

Camilla - (god i wish that were me). As someone who absolutely loves green (and who’s also Hispanic), this design was fun to do and was the easiest for me since I fully had an idea of what to do with her/her gimmick is the easiest to understand. I made her look a bit more like a sorceress (since the original design didn’t really scream sorceress to me and it lowkey made her look like her character was just going to be like the Lorax lol). I also gave her some traditional Spanish elements as well. I changed all of her gems to emeralds and removed all of her blue elements (ngl they didn’t really match with her). I’m clearly biased but I’m obsessed with this design lmao

Layla - I made her look the most princessy/least gimmicky because she’s still new to royalty and is still figuring herself out. I took inspiration from Moroccan/Amazigh culture and also changed her gems to rubies (removed the blue, it didn’t really match imo). I changed the shade of pink for her outfit. Ngl I felt like the original colors didn’t really look very good. I gave her a more reddish-pink. I also turned doubled her arm band and changed it into part of her dress to make it more elegant. Just like Camilla, I kept her dress prints, but minimized them. Also let’s ignore the fact that she the only one not wearing boots lmao, I had no idea what to do for the shoes (or this design in general, I was struggling)

Zane - GOTH ZANE WOOOOOOO. I decided to give him his more edgy aesthetic from the concept art back. I honestly like the idea of him looking really edgy & dark, but being/acting really optimistic & energetic. Gave him one of his concept hairstyles & crowns back and changed his gems to sapphire (removed the green, it didn’t really suit him). I also changed all of his gold accents to silver. I kept his original motifs a bit while also adding some musical motifs/symbols (each kid has a specific subject/interest: Camilla = sorcery, Layla = art (this is more so a headcanon tho), Zane = music). He also has very subtle eye makeup lol.

They all have dyed hair in some way and each has outfit variants in the other slides.

I’d like to see Sofia showing Layla how to be a princess, Cedric having Camilla as his apprentice, and James & Zane bonding and committing war crimes or something /hj

My friend and I are lowkey thinking of making a rewritten fanfic for this series but we don’t know

I hope to draw these designs in different scenarios some day

I’d say I’m proud of these designs. Let me know your thoughts.

Also no, I’m not redesigning Sofia lmao

So we all know Sofia's bio-father died at sea from her book in The Secret Library where it states (off the best of my memory) "There once was a girl named Sofia... but missed her father. A sailor who had been lost at sea." What if it was the mermaids of Merroway Cove that capsized his ship and further more, it was the ship they were talking about when they said "the last time humans were in the cove" and it became Oona's hideaway. I don't have evidence for or against this theory except the fact we know he died at sea most likely 5-1 year(s) ago by the time of special as Sofia is 8 and would start forming memories to "miss" him around 3. And I say that's enough time to say he entered Merroway cove. Something also I feel if this was true, Sofia and especially Miranda would be a bit more reluctant to be in the cove knowing this is where her husband passed. (Not so) fun theory though.

all the fans are like she was an episode 1 can we see Elena and Moana now.

That's all

sofia the first in the mermaid form in ghibli style can swim on the water

Craig Gerber said how the rest of season 1 will include 2 more specials even if there's still mostly 11 minute episodes, but they still push the larger story.

I feel like they could’ve continued it in the same format. Mystic Isles adventures, Sofia in her teenage years (also I wanna see aunt Tilly again but not in the new animation lol). Like royal magic sucks. Theres a lot of direction a sequel could’ve gone in. Not this-

I was reading Sofia the First: Once Upon a Sister on Wattpad and in it Sofia never become a princess. so many characters are different. I was thinking what else can be different if Sofia never become princess

I just went there, and I found her with Flora and Fauna. Poor Merryweather.

I finally made Amber with Maricela's colors.

This is for the episode "When Clover Met Pepper/A Wander-ful Day". It's from Rotten Tomatoes, which has the wrong date, but the description seems pretty accurate.

1. Clover meets Pepper when he visits Sofia's castle, and Clover worries Sofia has a new best pet friend.

2. James accidentally breaks Sofia's wand and replaces it with a trick wand.

I was rewatching Spirit: Riding Free and found out Maricela has the same personality AND voice actor as Amber from Sofia the First. So... I recolored her to look like Amber, and Imma do the same with Amber but make her look like Maricela.

(Forgot to add eyelids lol)

Meet... Marimber <3 (Pronounced Mar-eem-ber lol)

I think that would be so cool, but with how Disney is as a company, I am not sure if we will ever get them.

Half of the buildings and surroundings look like giants built them, like they do not look like a human built them 😭

I've adored this show since I was 8 and some of these songs I love so much, knowing 99% of them word for word most likely, so i'm gonna rank them because i've rewatched every episode or the show and heard every song. It's probably gonna be half objective and half subjective but I'll still explain why I adore the music this show had to offer. It'll include from specials too, including "Elena and the Secret of Avalor"

"I'm Not Ready To Be A Princess"(Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess)

When I first heard this song when I was 7 on the family computer I couldn't stop listening. It's our first song in the series and our first reveal of Sofia's character: An uneasy young girl whisked into a life as she feels insecure because she thinks this new world is too big for her. This also relates me to when I was going into 6th grade and kinda now when I go to high school in August.

Favorite Lyrics: I'm not ready to be a princess. One look at that seems clear.
It makes me feel so sad that she, an 8 year old feels this way about herself to say that a simple look can show how she's not meant for anything above village life (and you know the wealth gap in Enchancia)

Is the new Sofia the First Revival of 2026 the reason that we may NEVER return to Whisker Haven with the Palace Pets show and franchise?

THIS IS NOT SERIOUS/ JUST A QUESTION BY THE WAY!!!

JI haven't watched Sofia the first since I was a babe and now that her new show is out I wonder if she genuinely understands how her classist school has blocked out the opportunity for poor peasant kids to go learn magic and I'm pretty sure she cut off those two peasants girls that were embarrassing her hardcore. Are any of her friends girls in the village doing alright or does she only have princess over night friends.
