What do you think? Do your kids watch Sofia the First? Are you sad it’s ending?
Oh my daughter will be so disappointed, it’s the only show she asks for:(
We are extremely disappointed. The finale was amazing but it certainly leaves the viewers wanting more. My 5-year old granddaughter has not taken the news well. She seems to think it’s a mean joke. This breaks my heart for her. She owns all the seasons. We really hoped and expected this show to last longer. WHY?!?!? Disney Junior, please explain why? There are so many opportunities for the continuation of this show with Sofia as a protector. Plus as others have posted, the marketing opportunities have great potential. Protectors, new animals, new story characters etc just to name a few.… Read more »
but theres so many more things they can do with it….
Why is Sofia the First cancelled? It’s one of the better shows on Disney Junior, it teaches valuable lessons and characteristics, and there are some shows on there that are not nearly as good; my kids are heartbroken. We are heartbroken because we all love it. Grant it, 4 years is a good run and at least it got a finale, but couldn’t it be renewed for 1 more season or at least an explanation ? We all want to know what happens to them after graduation. It truly is one of the better shows.
Oh No!!! Sophia The First is one of the Best shows on Disney Jr for our Grandgirls!!! Please still have it on the schedule or Better Yet RENEW IT!!! We all LOVE IT!!!
I am very disappointed that Sofia the first is ending. My little girl turns 5 on Friday and she started with Sofia. To be honest, I am a little sad too. Disney wrote a great story about a brave little girl that has all the attributes of a Disney princess, without officially being named a princess. These are character traits I want my children to emulate. In this day and age it’s great to have a go to for children’s entertainment. I hope Disney will reconsider. Now that Sofia is a protector there are new toy and marketing opportunities. The… Read more »

Please we have Renew the new season of sofia the first in 2018/2019
How can they take Sofia the first away. My daughters and I love the show, it’s the best show I think on Disney. They can do so much more with the show. Will their be another show called a different name with a lot of the same characters? They can do a whole show on how Sofia is a protector now ? Or will she appear in Elena of Avalor? Really hoping Disney does something and brings her back in some way.
My daughter and I love watching Sofia the First. It incorporates values that we love to encourage from her. Sophia the First series represents, character’s who are in need to be represented in the kind of society we live in. Praying this TV show gets re-booted by Disney or picked up in our station.
I’m not sure about the representation part, but hope this show gets a Season 5. It deserves it.
