Sofia the First is an American animated fantasy children's television series. The series follows a young peasant girl named Sofia, who becomes a princess after her mother marries the King of Enchancia. Sofia's position as a child of a single mother allowed the team to explore themes of adaptation and connect to modern children. The show was created and developed by Craig Gerber for Disney Television Animation and Disney Junior. It received some of the highest viewership for a preschool cable television series; at one point, it became the most-watched program.
