A discussion topic for Sofia the First. It looks like they wanted to do a pacific islands themed episode, judging from this character: LaniI wonder if Moana will appear in Sofia the First at some point. Also wondering if she's encountered all/every Princess?. How many has she met?

Lani was in show WAYYYYYYYYYY before Moans
As far as I know Snow White Cinderella Aurora Ariel Belle Jasmine Mulan Tiana Merida and Rapunzel have appeared in show (No Pocahantas)
Olaf has appeared BUT NOT Elsa or Anna
A character voiced by Bonnie Hunt (CLEARLY inspired by Mary Poppins )named Aunt Tillie introduced this concept
"Someone" is the keeper guardian of stories and makes SURE there are Happy Endings (Obviously Aunt Tillie must have had a love/hate relationship with Hans Christain Anderson) Sofia is the new guardian This is introduced by Sofia taking a boat ride through various "realms" each representing each Disney film(Considered Princess)Only time Pocahantas is mentioned
SO BASICALLY Happy endings in Disney Films happen cause of King Roland's sister AND Sofia lest that's My take on it

Well, that means there are only four left who haven't appeared in the show: Elsa Anna Moana Pocahontas
Winter did once refer to a "princess with ice powers", which could only be a young Elsa. But didn't identify her by name.
Maybe that's why they started on the Secret Library storyline instead, there were so few Princesses left it wasn't enough to keep the themed story going on a regular basis, Hopefully they'll finish the appearance roster at some point, that they're saving the last ones for very special appearances/episodes.
I'm still waiting for the next season of Sofia the First to be released in my country, so I haven't seen any of these episodes.
Depending on how long this show stays in production, there might be new Princessess added if a new movie comes out. But as far as I know, there aren't any planned Princess movies at this time.

They just released the first batch of season 6 episodes, which included Olaf and the Tale of Miss Nettle. My favorite scene was where Olaf encouraged Sofia to keep going despite her lack of magical powers. At the end of the episode, he thinks he was completely unhelpful and then Sofia corrects him, that he actually was useful. It was a bit unusual seeing how the Freezenburg citizens reacted to a living snowman (with running and screaming). Surely in a magical land, he'd be more interesting then scary? Hildegard's response was a bit more rational though, if mostly spoiled princess: "Daddy, can I have a talking snowman?". I couldn't tell if who this statue is meant to be, but it looks a lot like King Triton: The episode is The Curse of Princess Ivy. The Elena/Avalor crossover movie still isn't available yet, I am waiting for it to be released.

I'm starting to wonder if Amber's use of a fan frequently is more significant then just a character specific quirk: According to a show that mentioned historical context of fan use by the feminine gender, holding the fan in specific ways was a subtle way of indicating social status cues. The example cited was that if a woman is approached by a courting suitor and she accepts the proposal, she'll open the fan fully. If she only half opens the fan, it's a polite rejection. So given the above information, I wondered if Amber has the fan because she's using it to indicate her moods and/or opinions? Also starting to wonder if they were having some name game fun with Amber, Jade and Amber. Jade and Ruby are ordinary villagers and yet they are named after gemstones more valuable then the one Amber was named for. Random thought about Sofia calling herself "the first". I wouldn't have thought she could claim that title unless she became Queen. As she's third in line for succession (Amber is first, James is second), that means that both of them would have to abdicate their claim in order for her to become an actual ruler of Enhancia and thus, become Queen Sofia the first. I'm not sure if that title is awarded to a first time royalty with the name though, if she was the only Sofia to be Queen, then it would be unnecessary to refer to her as "the first" unless there was another Queen Sofia after/before. The crossover movie was broadcast on July 22nd here, according to the limited info I was able to find via online research. So hopefully it will be released for sale soon.

Sofia is doing Aunt Tily's job as story keeper so I do not think she will be too upset about her ranking
The fan thing is QUITE evident in ep 2 which introduces Prince Hugo

I checked that scene, it is quite interesting to see how Amber, Hildegard and Clio used their fans. There are times when I do wonder if they're a cheerleading trio. While it's short, they also do a little synchronised cheer dance in The Flying Crown. In the Big Sleepover, Hildegard is doing some indoor skating: I wonder if this was a foreshadowing that her kingdom is permanently icy. They'd already identified as being named Freezenburg before this scene. And I am wondering how she can skate indoors with no ice! The floor is polished marble, but she's wearing slippers, not socks and definitely not skates, which would make gliding over the floor a bit hard. I am curious if we will see Clio's country Corinthia one day. Olaf and the Tale of Miss Nettle was all about Freezenburg. There's also been two other episodes which are set in countries where other princesses/princes live, so a precedent does exist. My theory is that it's a Greek themed nation, since Corinthia is in Greece and Clio also tells Jade it's quite warm there, another factor common to the Grecian geographical area. I don't think Sofia is really interested in being a ruler of Enchancia. Most likely she'll just get made a Duchess like Tilly was. My theory is that she'll still be involved in running the country though, as one of Amber's senior advisors/court members. I always did wonder about Cedric believing he could use the Amulet's power as a means to conquer Enchancia: "For each deed performed, for better or worse, a gift is bestowed, a blessing or curse". Simple version, if you do bad things, the Amulet curses you. So Cedric could never misuse it's powers, especially that he knows the above litany. When he actually got the Amulet, his hands were covered in glue and then transformed into metal when the curses took effect. Eventually he realizes it's better (and safer!) for him to give the Amulet back to Sofia. yougottalovearielYour new avatar is lovely. Did you also have to change image hosting providers or was it just time to make a new avatar?

Sofia the First is up to the 4th season. That's cause for concern, because most Disney shows have never lasted longer then 4 seasons. So this might be the last one we get. I hope this isn't the case, that they keep making episodes as long as they have good ideas. I've just seen the Mystic Isles movie. Spoilers abound, so you if haven't seen it, stop reading and come back to this post after you have done so. Sofia apparently didn't learn her lesson with Princess Ivy. Don't help women who have been exiled by their older sister.And the Secret Library showed them a vague image of this vilianess, enough for me to recognise her! It took Amber over 3 years to finally get a new dress...... I would have thought she'd have more costume changes, but maybe making a new dress every episode would be too difficult. They may have been building to this subtext for a while. For context, most of the movie has been covering the topic of one sister getting all the attention and praise while the other is ignored. Sofia just realized she and Amber are in this situation. It could also be a callback to the first movie/pilot, where Cinderella references that Amber is having insecurity issues because of the above reason. Basically, Amber is disappointed that Sofia gets to have all the adventures and fun without inviting her along. It's a lot like the episode Beached (of the TLM series) where Arista and Ariel also have this as a source of conflict. That is why I think the ending wasn't handled very well, Sofia gets a new responsibility as a Protector, but while Amber did just as much to defeat the villianess, she didn't get the same reward. I was kindof hoping this would lead into a new story format where Amber and Sofia were having adventures together.

Since Ariel Winter is going the way of Christine Carlson Romano (Law Degree) This may be the last season
Though NOT ignored like Little mermaid Sofia does NOT get the exposure of Frozen and Decendents just have to wait and see

I think Sofia may be taking on a big sister role for Callista: Based on this episode, she's definitely taken an interest in looking out for/after her friend.
