Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

jtoh-96230 This show is alright. The messages are decent, the animation is just as magical as Sofia the First and the visuals are somewhat impressive. My biggest problem with this show is that I don't like how Elena became a heroine. I really hate how she sticks out that she has to protect everyone in an annoying way. Besides that, the show is good and fun for children.

mwilkins-96180 I am really disappointed in a lot of the reviews I see on this forum about Elena...someone complaining that Elena can "do all these things she shouldn't be able to do." Like fencing, magic, soccer. If the person who wrote the review had even watched that episode, she spent the entire episode being trained in dexterity, agility and speed by the Lt. of the Royal Guard, she was actually quite bad at fencing in the episode, even though her mother, the best fencer in the kingdom had trained her. this is a great show that I will even watch without my 2 year old. Elena is a strong young lady who has to learn to rule her kingdom. Each episode is a learning experience for Elena. She makes a lot of mistakes, but learns with each episode. This is such a great show for kids and most of the music is fantastic. I can pretty much sing every song by heart. This show teaches children how to be responsible and to be true to their hearts despite what others think.

dlapell2 So, getting with the "times" I guess Disney has now decided to roll out their own version of Dora the Explorer with Elana of Avalor. Well, it is pretty much that but instead of simple tasks that Dora would repeat over and over again until you thought your head would implode, especially with "I'm the Map!" You now have instead of Dora's faithful monkey boots, Elena has the three Jaquins who are more annoying then helpful, especially Luna voiced by Yvette Nicole Brown. She's about as subtle as nails on a chalkboard. Not to mention you also have Zuzo Elena's "spirit animal" so I am not sure if they are trying to play on Latin culture or Native American here because I don't recall Latino culture mentioning spirit guides or spirit animals. But since this show is little more than a Latino version of Princess Sofia someone in a Disney boardroom thought they needed to make to either suck up to the politically correct section of the audience or they thought they could make money with the merchandising we all know is coming, it really wasn't needed. But what the heck, I guess this is where television is heading anyway with this nonsense. It's just a show that wasn't needed, and seems almost like you're watching Princess Sofia on Univision.

rosyredtulips From the promos, I assumed that it would be a Disney Channel version of Sofia The First and that it would only appeal to 5 to 8 year olds and well, I was right and wrong. It has the same animation style as STF and it's also a musical, but I found myself really enjoying it. It has a good message and it's interesting enough. The characters are likable and the songs they sing are actually really good. I like the idea of a Latina princess too, it's really nice. The only request I have is that they should try to make the show appeal more to 9-14 year olds, which I'm guessing is the primary age group of people who even watch Disney Channel. Right now, from what I've seen, it's more of Disney Junior material. That doesn't mean it's a bad show, though. If they succeed in making it more relateable and geared towards the 9-14 age group, I would probably like it way more then I already do. Anyway, it's a good show and I'm glad that Disney Channel is bringing back animated shows.
