Sofia the first shows8/29/2023 “Sofia the First” ran for four seasons, ending in September 2018 but carrying on in the hearts and on the screens of her many admirers. Learning to navigate the royal world becomes the backdrop for lessons about friendship, family, and standing up for what’s right. Throughout it all, classic princesses like Mulan and Rapunzel make cameos, but largely to help Sofia realize her own strength in achieving a goal. She says at the beginning of every episode she was a “girl in village doing alright, then I became a princess overnight.” Anyone concerned about Sofia being too superficial could enjoy watching her subvert gender norms in elegant princess pant suits, like when she fought to race her pegasus alongside the boys (and sang about it, to boot.) And while her back story is typical rags-to-riches stuff, in which her mom marries a king so she becomes a princess, the writers are careful not to disparage her working class roots.
