Sofia the First is an American animated fantasy children's television series created by Craig Gerber for Disney Television Animation. The series follows a young peasant girl named Sofia, voiced by Ariel Winter, who becomes a princess after her mother marries the King of Enchancia. Episodes focus on her adventures and bonds with others, including her animal friends, with whom she communicates through an amulet that blesses and curses her based upon the goodness of her actions. When creating the series, Gerber aimed to employ relatable situations in a fantasy world; he stated Sofia's position as a child of a single mother allowed the team to explore themes of adaptation and connect to modern children. The series pilot premiered on November 18, 2012, on Disney Channel. The show itself ran from January 11, 2013, to September 8, 2018, on Disney Junior, having aired four seasons in the span of 109 episodes.
Sofia the First was praised for its music, animation, characters, and messages. It received some of the highest viewership for a preschool cable television series; at one point, it became the category's most-watched program. Sofia the First was nominated for 11 Daytime Emmy Awards, including three wins, and received the 2014 Annie Award for Best General Audience Animated TV/Broadcast Production for Preschool Children. A variety of merchandise was influenced by the series, such as theme park rides and books.
