I wish Anna showed up

I love Anna !!!!

[DisneyFan09]

I am 23 and like this show !

Does this make me stupid ?

I Also have Aspergers!

Don't take this the wrong way, but why are you so concerned about what other people think? No offense. And of course it doesn't make you stupid. I happen to have Aspergers myself and I'm into Disney. Does it make me stupid? See the pattern here?

Well, DisneyFan97, I am 38, have Asperger's and enjoy a trip to Enchancia or Avalor once in a while. Those who do not understand why people like us enjoy Sofia and Elena... THEY are the ones who are stupid.

Sofia and her family appeared in the Elena of Avalor series finale.

One of the hardest things to do in the Elena finale was creating the new Sofia model. Elena & Sofia used 2 different types of software & and 2 different animation styles. Sofia's original model looked monstrous when dropped into Elena's world as-is. Plus, we had to age Sofia up, which meant we had to manage her giant head, giant eyes, and eyebrows that are half way up her forehead. We went through 6 or 7 versions, which is a lot in TV, all or a character in basically two scenes. I was calling retakes on specific frames!

We had to make them look older and once you start tweaking the models, everyone is going to have an opinion.

Q: In that crossover, they used both styles. Elena’s series finale: just hers.

Craig Gerber: Elena was done in Sofia's style in the crossover. It's easier for older characters to go back in forth between the styles because they aren't as exaggerated as the kids in the world of Sofia.

Q: How were the rest of Sofia’s family?

Craig Gerber: Parents were easy. Just needed to tweak the way their skin looked. James and Amber were tricky to age up and stay on-model. We wound up adjusting original models to be a bit older and sprucing up the outfits.

Q: I’m curious, how old are Sofia, James and Amber in this cameo?

Craig Gerber: About 4 years older than the last time we saw them.

Q: Why is she wearing her regular tiara and not her EverRealm protector one? Is it because she's representing Enchancia and not the protectors?

Craig Gerber: I think she was in a sentimental mood. Went old school Enchancia for the coronation.

Q: How about Amber? Why is she not wearing a tiara? Did you consider to use her old hairstyle?

Craig Gerber: We tried to age her up and the tiara didn't quite work with the new hair-do.

Q: Was Sofia showing up at Elena's coronation planned from the beginning or was it added in later?

Craig Gerber: It was always the plan.

Chris Nee, of Doc McStuffins fame, was originally going to run Sofia the First when it was first being developed.

Yeah, so I’m writing the action-adventure girl because that’s who I am. And I’m very, very clear that a lot of girls love princesses, and I took my stab at the princess show around the time that Sofia the First was being developed. [My version] definitely had a different flair, and I also kept being like, “I don’t think I should be working on a show where I have to talk to the princess council. That just seems wrong.” (Laughs.) I just think things are different depending on who’s behind the creation of it, and so I’m creating something I want to see and I’m not sure that there are that many people like me [making preschool shows].

Well I find this article very interesting, not to mention inspirational for who Chris Nee Is as a person, I’ve noticed respect towards her and regardless of how I think about Doc McStuffins, let’s pray and thank the gods that good old papa Gerber Became The show runner for this unbungalievable Series, without whom regardless of replacement, would’ve never made it not only First in my favourite shows of all time, but also in my favourite Disney princess

Sofia and her family appeared in the Elena of Avalor series finale.

Good Lord in Heaven, Sofia looks so creepy but I am happy she made an appearance. This remind me, was anyone bothered that Pocahontas never made a cameo on the show ?

[DisneyFan09]

This remind me, was anyone bothered that Pocahontas never made a cameo on the show ?

Oh yes, I was! It wasn`t strange by any means, but of course it was an outrage! After all, she`s a part of the of the official lineup, so she should`ve been included. But due to her low popularity, it was expected that Disney wouldn`t bother to include her and find vague excuses to cover up for it.

Craig Gerber stated many times on Twitter that the reason why Pocahontas wasn’t included was because he couldn’t think of a story to include her that satisfied anyone else other than him. It is possible that one such attempt was for an episode involving Miranda going back to open up her book store, which was rejected by Disney due to them thinking that the little ones A.k.a. the show/channels main target demographic wouldn’t be interested in an episode revolving around the grownups; even though they have done some earlier episodes involving them, such as The Baker King, And even at least half of The Tri-Kingdom Picnic, but I guess maybe those episodes didn’t do so well/or negatively viewed by the main target demographic

Thanks but I am aware of that and that wasn't my question anyway. I was curious about how the fans reacted to it not why she was not included.

[Sotiris]

I was curious about how the fans reacted to it not why she was not included.

Fans were upset, naturally. Especially because they were looking forward to Irene Bedard and Judy Kuhn reprising the character. By the way, the reason Pocahontas was excluded was not due to her lack of popularity but because execs wouldn't sign off on it, probably because she has become such a controversial, politicized character.

We tried multiple times and we had stories that the writing staff and myself liked but it was just one of those things where along the way we just couldn't get consensus across the board on whether that fit with the show or maybe there's something off with the story from other people's points of view. But we really did try our best and I think there were probably like three times that we tried to include Pocahontas before I finally gave up.

Well, that explains it but when you get to Ralph Breaks The Internet, it doesn't make sense. I guess, they're stuck with that character because if they include her, then people complain and if they don't, people complain as well.

They've aired a few episodes the past week I guess for the whole World Princess Week thing they're doing or whatever. I was never interested in this, but since I have access to DVR now, I decided to record the episodes and fast forward through them to whenever one of the DAC princesses show up. Only seen a handful now. The only song that stood out was Mulan's, I actually kind of liked that one.

Rapunzel had to be the worst. She didn't really look right and I thought it was so bizarre they had Mandy Moore back for the dialogue, but someone else singing the song?! I was surprised Belle wasn't voiced by Paige O'Hara either. I suppose O'Hara wasn't interested (or busy) more than they passed her over though.

Yes, they've even released a promo for it.

Jenny Kidd was the singing voice of Rapunzel in that episode. I assume this was done because it costs more to hire Mandy Moore to sing than to speak. Paige O'Hara wasn't even asked to reprise her role. She was replaced by Julie Nathanson as the voice of Belle in 2011 because her voice started to change. Paige was pretty upset by this at the time.

And to think that I was so excited to hear more news about my favourite show [let alone favourite princess of all time only to have you be so grumpy [pun intended] And unappreciative Of something that truly changed inspired and let alone I treasure in all of my life!!!!! No matter what you and other people will say, Sofia Will always truly be first for me as a show that truly exemplifies how one regardless of whether female or male young or old should be Thinking and perceiving the world, let alone themselves and the people around them, and not just basic target audience stains but quite frankly literally anything in life for that matter; seriously, Words will never ever be enough to state how much I value and treasure this and what it truly did and still continues to do for me And my life of course you’re allowed it’s not like it is this like literally every other kind of media is subjective regardless of how much it may be praised or not but please just don’t be ignorant and assume the worst with things like “”Paige O’Hara not being interested” in coming back etc.

Oh, really? I wonder why they would do that with her and not with Ariel, Jasmine, or Mulan, for example. Perhaps there was anger over O'Hara not being asked at the time and that's why they made sure not to re-cast the others?

Well maybe simply put their voices did not sound different, though of course they did bring Paige O’Hara back for Ralph breaks the Internet
