Back to Savvy Auntie, but I think this run will finish off my contributions to that site. (That's not to say I won't submit more articles in the future, but for personal reasons, I have stopped writing for them for now.)
A Disney Princess for Little Girls
by Veronica Spettmann
“Sofia the First” will be premiering in
her own Disney movie on Disney Channel and Disney Junior in the fall of
2012, Aunties. This is the first time in Disney princess history that
the story will be centered around the princess as a little girl. Sofia
the First is a character that is meant to appeal to our preschool-aged
nieces.
Sofia the First starts as a regular girl until her mom
marries the king, at which point she is moved to the glamorous and
confusing royal castle. Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather (Aunties’
favorite fairies from the childhood classic, Sleeping Beauty), will star
as the headmistresses of Royal Prep, the school that Sofia attends with
other princes and princesses.
The movie release in 2012 will be
followed by a television series that will air on the same channels in
the spring of 2013. Senior Vice President of Disney Junior Worldwide,
Nancy Kanter, says, “Although Sofia will have plenty of pretty dresses
and sparkly shoes, our stories will show Sofia, and our viewers, that
what makes a real princess is what’s inside, not what’s outside. That
the inner character of kindness, generosity, loyalty, honesty, and grace
make you special, not the dress you wear.”
Sofia the First is
going to be a wonderful character for Aunties to share with their young
nieces. It can help Aunties teach their nieces that it is important to
be a good person, while reminding them that they will always be
princesses to their Aunties!
