What do you think? Do your kids watch Sofia the First? Are you sad it’s ending?
My 20 month old grand daughter loves Sofia. Always teaching good snd kindness. Would love to see more seasons.
My worst nightmare, no more beautiful sofia the first. Sad day. sad day. Please disney don’t end the show. I will love sofia till the day i die.
So very sad! My daughter and I love Sofia. Elena of avalore and the tangled series are great But my Sofia absolutely loved a princess that shares her name. I really hope they reconsider. Or even have Sofia show up in Elena again.
Very sad to hear that this series has come to an end. My daughter and I have been watching Sofia together for sometime now and have loved every moment of the show. I think it’s been an amazing show for showing young girls that they can be brave and heroes as well. I do hope Disney would reconsider and keep it going…
My granddaughter and I love Sophia the first. We we’re heart broken when they took it off the air. Please bring it back. The grand daughter had the birthday theme and also was Sophia for Halloween.
I am crushed that Sophia is ending! My 9 year old daughter and I have watched it together since the beginning! It’s the best Disney series with the many songs, creative stories always with a good message. The characters are backed by such good talent and we have grown to love their personalities! I suppose all good things must come to an end but it is still sad. Thank you, Disney. for creating such wonderful entertainment and great memories for me and my daughter.
I would honestly love to see a series after “Forever Royal” where Sofia is the protector of the Everrealm. Sofia is the first show my three year old latched onto and we absolutely love it.
I am very sad that they’re canceling Sofia the first. My daughter really love this show she always tells me how mucb she loves her because she’s so kind and brave. I myself actually love this show i can watch it a thousand times & won’t get bored. I love how each episode gives a message. That princesses also make mistakes, and that they even need to ask for help at times. Also that its never too late to change who you are if it’s that you’ve done bad things or weren’t a nice person. Hopefully they do some kind… Read more »
I’m 13 years old and I have watched Sofia the first on Netflix for so many years now over and over again and I watched season 4 in a week! It’s such an amazing cartoon and it has such a great meaning… and the adventures that she has are so interesting!! We all with this show will comeback. I hope Disney might listen, but “the end” has sadly come. I hope I’m not the only one who says that Disney is taking all the good shows, getting rid of them, and making bad ones. I think they have run out… Read more »

This makes me and my daughter very sad. Sofia is a great show with great values and great life lessons for children. And ita entertaining and enjoyable to watch. Even for me as the parent. I say. If its going to make Disney Jr money. Then keep making episodes. What do they have to lose?
I not happy and very upset that Disney isn’t bring Sofia the first back for another seasons. I have an autistic granddaughter. She has been was Sofia since she was about four months old. She has interacted with Sofia when she would interacted with anyone or anything else. Sofia has helped bring her out of her world into our world. I know she is not the only child that watches Sofia but I’m begging as a grandmother who’s granddaughter need Sofia in her life so maybe she can become a functioning autistic adult. She will be three this coming February.… Read more »
