Sophia the First

[Pumbas Nakasak]

..

Interpretation.....additional retail fodder.

Ohh noo not Big Headed Barbie, at least those days are behind me,

She looks like a fast-food chain mascot. Not every character works with a plastic head.

Could they not find a real little girl for the TV taping?

I wonder if they went with a face character she might not be recognizable enough since the show is so new.

I don't think that would have really been an issue. They have the parade's hosts to explain who she is.

Okay, Sophia, now's your time to shine!

Again, face character wouldn't work here... she's a child in the show! So unless they plan to employ children for the future M&Gs than a big round head will have to do.

My kids just love the movie, i am sure she is gonna be a huge hit since they are collaberating all the other princesses into the series. Look forward to seeing her on our next trip to Hollywood and Vine.

the movie when it premiered is the second highest watched movie on Disney behind High School Musical! It hit number 1 for all their demographics so I can easily see why they would add her to the parks!

Sophia is scheduled to start in late spring/early summer.

Doc McStuffins is currently not being added as a meet n greet character. That could possibly change if enough guests continue to ask and request her.

Any further information on this now that we are into the Spring? Also any plans for changes to the Hollywood & Vine character line up?

She's a big deal, actually. A lot at stake with this character. Trying to hush up critics calling racism or pandering / trying to include a new culture in the Princess world.
