"Sofia The First: Once Upon a Princess" Premiere Party

Tonight is the BIG night. . .
Sofia the First: Once Upon A Princess Movie premieres on Disney Channel!

Once Upon a Time there was an ordinary girl from the land of Enchancia named Sofia. One day her mother marries a King, and her life changes drastically. Her and her mother become instant royalty. It's not easy being a Princess and adjusting to a new regal life. Sofia also gains an instant family including a new Dad, King Rowland, and two step-siblings Amber and James. Now they all live together in a gigantic home which just so happens to be a castle. Sofia starts school at Royal Prep Academy where she learns everything she needs to know about being a Princess. The three headmistresses are familiar fairies named Flora, Fauna and Merryweather. (Sleeping Beauty anyone?)

Sofia's new adventure will prove to be more magical than she could have ever imagined when her new step-father, King Rowland gives her a "welcome to the family" present. It's a beautiful purple necklace called the Amulet of Avalor. It's powers will be revealed to her and to viewers along the way. Sophia The First: Once Upon A Princess is a wonderful new fairy tale that children are going to love. It's bringing the classic feel of Disney Princesses (animal sidekicks and evil sorcerer) back to this generation with plenty of guest characters and reference to the original Disney Princesses. They have even made Sofia the First into a book for Sofia fans to enjoy it over and over again. There will also be a Sofia series coming too, so stay tuned...

Sofia soon discovers that looking like a princess isn't all that difficult, but displaying honesty, loyalty, courage, independence, compassion and grace is what makes one truly royal.  

Craig Gerber, Co-Executive Producer and story editor and Jamie Mitchell, executive producer and director of Disney Junior's animated television movie "Sofia The First: Once Upon A Princess" and the animated series "Sofia The First" introduce a few of the characters that help Sofia along in her new journey to become a Princess.

"Sofia The First" Character Description of Miranda and Roland

All this week we'll be bringing you exclusive interviews and pictures of the cast. We'll even be sharing video footage straight from the Red Carpet Lavender Carpet Premiere!

Introducing... A Blended Royal Family
One of our favorite things about this show is that when Sofia's mom Miranda marries the King, they become a blended family. Sofia gets a whole new family, new step-siblings a brother and sister, James and Amber, who also happen to be twins. Sophia also gets a step-father, King Roland II.

Want to know little known fact about Disney Sisters? There is a Disney Brother!!!!!
Well, he's our brother, our stepbrother actually. Our parents got divorced when we were kids and remarried making our family a blended family too, just like Sophia's. We have a stepparent and a stepsibling. It can be challenging while everyone gets used to all new members of the family and the change in dynamic, but it can also be rewarding like getting bonus members of a family. We are happy that Disney is integrating the blended family into one of their shows. It will definitely help children who are living with steps relate to the story. Another little known fact, the youngest Disney Sister Jessica, is a Stepmom with 3 stepkids. 

Travis Willingham voices the role of King Roland II in Disney Junior's animated television movie "Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess" and series "Sofia the First." Willingham is also the voice of Thor on Disney XD's "Ultimate Spider-Man" and plays The Hulk and The Human Torch in The Hub's animated series, "The Super Hero Squad Show." 

Tony Award-winning actress Sara Ramirez stars as the voice of Queen Miranda, Sofia's confident mother, in Disney Junior's animated television movie "Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess" and series "Sofia the First." Ramirez is best known for her starring role as Callie Torres on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy."
