Songs from SOFIA THE FIRST impressed me AND make me actually feel emotions so that's wild 

thanks for coming along y'all 💙 all aboard the nostalgia train ig

Context: A little girl living with her mother in a small town, the mother is a shoemaker and one day she went to deliver shoes to the King and they fell in love. The mother married the King who was a widower with two kids and she brought her daughter with her. Sofia is now a princess and contrary to her new siblings or the people of her new school, she has to learn what being a princess means. To celebrate his new daughter, the King gave her an amulet. Sofia will discover that it's a magical amulet that rewards good deeds. She saved a bird and was given the ability to talk to animals. She rescued a mermaid and then can become a mermaid. During the fourth seasons, her amulet sometimes brings up Disney princesses (Cinderella, Jasmine, Aurora, Ariel and even Olaf) to give her some tips!

So the two blonde kids you saw are Amber and James. They're Sofia's step siblings. I'd say the two of them really do have a lot of brat tendencies. Amber has Sharpay levels of Diva(TM) and James is impulsive and stubborn. But they are genuinely very good kids who care a lot about Sofia. Amber and Sofia's relationship definitely gets more spotlight as step sisters because of the whole wicked stepsisters thing and how awful Amber is to poor Sofia in the beginning but as the series progresses, Amber grows a lot as a person. Amber went from bully wicked step sister to Sofia's ride-or-die who has her little sister's best interests at heart while still keeping her dramatic nature intact. 10/10 character development. Amber is a Queen ❤

You know I may be watching this while freezing in the hospital at 12am but we ain't stopping that childhood flashback train

To clear up Matthews confusion, Sofia’s mum was a shoe maker and the king fell in love with her so they got married making Sofia the step daughter of the king and because the king is Roland the second she said so that makes me Sofia the first, and the two singing in the third song are sofias step siblings. You can also tell Matthew didn’t watch the Cinderella sequels because her relationship does get better with her stepsisters in the sequels

In both Cinderella 2 and 3, Cinderella's sister Anastasia was shown to actually have a good heart, and how she was only mean because that's all she was taught. Cinderella and Anastasia ended up really good friends in both. It's implied that Drizella was also starting to consider having a change of heart, but it was never shown in the movies.

Honestly loved this show. It gets way more intense and lore filled than it has any right to be and had good music I sometimes still sing to myself

Sofia the First has some of my favorite childhood songs in it. Occasionally, I find myself singing "Bigger is Better" 😂

Sofia the First has a crazy amount of good songs! For context, Sofia was a village girl whose mother married the widowed king, making Sofia a princess and giving her new step-siblings, the twins Amber and James. While there is occasional sibling conflict between them and Amber in particular can be a bit snobby, they actually genuinely care about each other and get along pretty well as siblings throughout most of the show. Sofia has a magic amulet that gives her special abilities, including talking to animals and occasionally summoning classic Disney princesses who give her advice when she's in trouble, hence Cinderella singing to her about trying to get along with her new sister.

Okay, so, some context for the "fitting in" song- Basically Amber (the blonde) is hosting a slumber party with Sofia and they were both allowed to invite two friends each. Amber brought her princess friends, and Sofia brought her friends from the village. Amber and the Princesses are too fond of Sofia's friends because they're a little bit on the wild and goofy side, so Amber and her friends take Sofia aside to tell her her friends aren't fitting in and are, essentially, "ruining" the slumber party because they aren't meeting the royal standard of elegance and eloquence. Classism is a theme touched on in the show- there are multiple episodes where the Royals and Non-royals are sort of pitted against each other, but the resolution is almost always the Royal's learning to not look down on the peasants and the Peasants learning that not all royals are stuck up and are capable of changing (of course there are exceptions, but it is the general formula for those episodes- I don't want to spoil anything by going into detail). TL;DR : "Fitting in" Song was about Amber and her friends peer pressuring Sofia into trying to change her friends in order for them to fit in + A small blerb about some themes tackled in Sofie The First

Matthew: “So, today is Sofia the First” Me: Ah yes my childhood

If you do a second Sofia video, I recommend "Cedric the Great" and "My Evil Dreams," specifically in that order.

Matthew needs to watch the Very first episode of this series so that he had context of her backstory, and also Mathew the episodes are basically her going to school, going out to adventures and along the way she learns how to be a princess bit by bit and learns incredibly good moral lessons along the way, with more songs .. Plenty of songs actually I'm crying because of the nostalgia is making me tear up 😭

Amber is…. An interesting step sibling to Sofia, but she gets better in later seasons. However, her step brother James is so freaking adorable and supportive and not at all like Amber (who is slightly Apple White but also Chloe from Miraculous)

This show was my favorite growing up! The songs are definitely spectacular 💜. Fun fact Princess Vivian’s VA/Singer is Sabrina Carpenter!

I loved Sofia the First, the theme song was so catchy! The show was maybe aimed at little kids but as a teenager I really loved it!!

I will always swear by this show's amazing quality. People can call it a baby show all they want but it's as mature as Ever After High with it's themes and complex characters

The slumber party one is where she wants to invite her _poor_ friends to the _princess_ sleepover, and Amber's not cool with it. It is, actually, a really deep episode about not letting peer pressure turn you into another one of the mean-girls. Sofia starts off rolling her eyes at Amber's attitude, but starts getting embarrassed the more Amber and her friends laugh at and disapprove of her friends from the village. She starts trying to get them to conform, but they don't appreciate being told to stop embarrassing her in front of her rich friends. It has a really good ending, though: she apologizes, and they go off to have their own fun slumber party, and eventually Amber's friends decide they'd rather be at the fun slumber party with the other girls. Even Amber slinks over eventually, and they invite her to play with them.

"is she gonna learn how to be a princess from the other princesses?" Mathew, go buy a lottery ticket right now

The context for the last song actually makes the lesson make a bit more sense. That song is from the movie,right after Sofia’s mom married the king. The two blond kids (James and Amber) are Sofia’s step siblings. The entire lesson in the song was Cinderella telling Sofia to give Amber a little bit of grace since she too was going through a big change that she didn’t have much of a say in. It’s a,”You guys have more common ground than you think,so maybe there just needs to be some patience and discussion before you abandon the relationship.” These kids are like,eight years old I think. My friends and I were obsessed with the movie when it came out. Some of my friends had to get used to the sudden change of a blended family,so they could relate to the indifference (James was indifferent to Sofia at the beginning) and/or the jealousy and fear of Amber.

I can't believe you are finally listening to Sofia the First!!!! There are definitely more than a few bops in this show!!!!!

The fact he didn’t react to Ariel or Rapunzels songs especially punches me in the stomach 🤣🙌 I hope theres a part 2 where he listens to all the princess songs!

You should listen to That’s Not Who I Am!! It’s really impressive how emotional, raw and “serious” it is compared to the usual song from Sofia the First

Oh my goshh you better not sleep on the Sofia the First villain songs! I'm talking Cedric the Great, A Kingdom of my Own, All You Desire, On My Own. Pleasee, you will not regret it.

More Sofia the first songs!!! Like “Make way for Ms.Nettle”, “Two by Two”, “Just me and my mom” and “Good Little Witch”

Okay in defence of Cinderella from her two step-sisters Anastasia actually had a bigger chance of turning over a new leaf as the third movie showed, influenced by their mother,who I am certain the twins were scared of,did not want to be cast away as they are her family. Luckily later on she finds love in a baker and gets a better life. Cinderella regrets that they never had the chance to become true sisters cause of the circumstances and that they let jelaousy their mother installed in them blind them and make them such horrible women. As in defence of Amber and her brother,she is also jelaous cause after the death of their mother their father along with his duty as King had little time to spend with them. Now he married another woman he clearly loves and got another daughter of said woman he loves with which he spends time with and even gives her an important necklace. They are jealous and afraid that their father will stop loving them and not be there for them. To them it seems he cares more for a girl who is just a step daugher instead of them their own children who try very and study to be the perfect royals while she is still clueless. Thankfuly they talk,reconcile and slowly fix these problems.

You should listen to some of amber’s songs, the way she changes over the course of the show to be a better person always hits me in the feels. She also has a fantastic voice!

For the main theme, Mathew should've watched the season 1 version and he would've gotten a little more context

Mathew hasn't seen the barbie movies *nor* the Tinkerbell movies and hasn't even HEARD of Sofia the first. SIR WHAT KIND OF CHILDHOOD DID YOU HAVE💀😭?!

10:00 Prince James (blond boy) was voiced by Steven Universe's voice actor Zach when he was younger.

Ive never seen Sofia the first, but "thats not who I am" and "One and All" are seriously SO good! Highly reccomend them

OMG I NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD COME! I REALLY LOVE SOFIA THE FIRST 😭💗

For a show for young kids it has surprisingly deep lore with implications of a Disney multiverse and tackles some really deep themes.

cinderella actually did make amends with one of her step sisters, Anastasia. who was just following her mothers orders and was basically the same as cinderella before she came in. Luckily, cinderella was there to save her and help her find her true love.

heyy, you should listen to: - two by two - princess things - my best friend back - i'm not ready to be a princess - a little bit of food - bigger is better - friendship is the formula

I'm kind of a sucker for "clip show" theme songs, especially ones that update with every season, because the montage gets increasingly more fast-paced and ridiculous as you have less and less context for the series. I am SO glad you got the theme song from Season 4.

i love sofia, it has a special place in my heart for all the memories i have of it

The visuals would have made more sense with the original theme song- the lyrics don't change just the visuals but the story would make more sense

honestly, for a kid's show this was AMAZING. im rewatching now that im older, it still holds up and is just as entertaining as before (more fun to understand now too) and the songs were insane?? they were really releasing award winning hits every episode. really enjoyed the video! its nice seeing people still enjoying/coming back to this show years later

Cinderella is voice by Jennifer Hale aka Thorn the lead singer of the Hex Girls from Scooby Doo! Yeah she has a great singing voice!

I mean there was a way for Cinderella. In Cinderella 2, there's a story about Anastasia (red hair, pink dress) who falls in love with a Baker, and Cinderella helps her because of course the stepmother and the other sister are against that relationship!

IM FINDING OUT WHAT BEING ROYALS ALL ABOUTTTT

Kingdom of My Own (from "The Curse of Princess Ivy") def needs to be next. that song gives me life

Brought back my childhood 😭

Oh man, Sofia has some real good songs! You didn't even get some of the most popular ones in here, would love to see you react to more ^^ "Bigger is Better" is a crowd favorite and I've always been fond of "Princess Things" since it's the episode that got me into the show as a kid!

I'm so glad you're listening to Sofia songs! This show has so many good songs! Of the top of my head, I recommend A Kingdom of My Own, Blue Ribbon Bunny, The Fairy Way, Dare to Risk it All, Moment to Shine, The New School Song, and Sunny Thoughts. You definitely need to listen to Elena of Avalor songs. It's in the same universe as Sofia. A few songs I'd recommend are the theme song, You Can't Catch Me (my favorite), Sister Time, Feel Free to Have Fun, Something Special, My Time, and Forever. You can't really go wrong with an Elena song. They're amazing! And I'll still recommend Jem and the Holograms even if I'm the only one. lol I think you'll really love songs from it! It has some of those high notes you really like.

This was a fun video. You should totally react to more songs from the show! I know The blonde girl (Amber) seems like a villain and she is an antagonist at first but she gets character development throughout the show and changes for the better. She also has some freakin awesome solo songs that you should totally listen to sometime! Thanks for your videos man, have a great day😁

I loved this show growing up. I was fortunate enough to catch it when it first premiered and fell in love. It was one of the few rare kid shows that a continuing story. Amber is best girl.

sofia the first is by far one of my favourite shows to watch when i was growing up

this show is simply adorable! the songs are really good, and Sofia was kind of just a peasant with her mother, but her mother marries the king and that's why she became a princess overnight. the show is about her having various magical adventures adjusting to a life of realexa with her step siblings, new father, as well as having a magical amulet that gives her magical powers when she does acts of good deed and curses her if she does something immoral. and you got it right! she gets visits from Disney princesses when she's in a sticky problem! honestly one of my favorite kids shows!

If you plan on reacting to more Sofia the First songs, I recommend "Bigger is Better," "That's Not Who I Am," "Make Way for Miss Nettle," and "On Your Own."

I LOVE that this show is getting recognition from older people cause I adored this growing up and now I still adore the music! PLEASE if you do more songs please do "Princess True" and "Sunny thoughts" they feature one of the best singers in the entire show. also, the pinecones are from Sofia's friends from the village. They're really only mentioned in that episode, and they were braiding them into their hair like little crowns.

Songs that you’d love and i think you should check out! -my evil dreams -bigger is better -That’s not who i am -my finest flower -Wings of a dream -my first flight -Wendell’s way Of course all of these are just suggestions! Love your videos💜

Amazing video as always! If you do a part 2 I recommend "That's not who I am" and "bring my best friend back" Two very emotional but great songs form the show!

Not Matthew guessing that she talks to other princesses throughout the series in the theme song alone 🤣

Don't be fooled by this show being on Disney Jr. This was a really great show, and deserved far more credit than it got.

I was a girl in the village doing alright Then I became a princess overnight Now I gotta figure out how to do it right So much to learn and see Up in the castle with my new family In a school that's just for royalty A whole enchanted world is waiting for me I'm so excited to be Sofia the First I'm finding out what being royal's all about Sofia the First Making my way, it's an adventure everyday Sofia It's gonna be my time Sofia To show them all that I'm Sofia the First 💃💃💃

That was so cool that you did this show! I was absolutely obsessed with it when I was younger. If you do another video you should do "Bigger is Better" because that is the one song that has just STUCK in my head after watching this show. No other song I could really remember but Bigger is Better is SO catchy.

Dude you are hilarious when you freaked out about “koala bears,” and Australia’s existence in Sofia’s universe. 🤣🤣🤣

As far as I remeber, Sofia the First is completely animated with the exception of "Rise and Shine," the credits/ending song of the series premiere. As for general context: 1 - Princes Sofia (the First) and her mother, Queen Miranda, were originally villagers before Miranda married the widower King Roland the Second. King Roland II already had two children, the twins Princess Amber and Prince James (both of whom have been the heir apparent depending on the season). As such, Sofia was trusted into the world of royalty, but as an 8-10 year old girl, she had many friendships in the village. 2 - The main teachers are the the Good Fairies (Flora, Fuana, and Merryweather), plus some other original characters. As for the other Disney Princesses, they also help Sofia from time to time when she is facing a difficult decision or task. 3 - Something important to pay attention to is Sofia's amulet, the Amulet of Avalor. This is what connects her to the princesses, gives her powers from time to time, and ties into the spin-off/sequel show Elena of Avalor. 4 - a lot of the first three seasons handle issues Sofia has with learning to be a royal and with her deciding if she will do things with her new siblings or with her old friends. Largely involving the fact that she wants things to be the same/easier, but also wants to be close to her siblings and her new friends. 5 - As for acting like siblings, all three have times when they try to forget that they are all siblings, but a lot of it is also that Sofia doesn't limit herself to traditional princess behavior and activities - which causes tension with both James and Amber. Generally, James is okay with Sofia's mindset sometime during Season 1, but it takes until Season 2 or 3 for Amber to fully open up to Sofia. I tend to think of James as being more oblivious and occasionally intentional about his boasting/harmful words/actions while Amber can be a bit bratty and feels that her way is always the best. However, Amber does get to grow later on. 6 - True Sisters is one of the earliest songs in the timeline, and this is at the end the first week to month of Sofia being part of the royal family. At this point, Sofia and Amber still have a chance to change their relationship for the better if they both choose to. However, I do understand that for some people/sitiuations it is healthier to cut off the negative relationship rather than feeling the need to forgive them and rebuild the relationship. As for telling when each song happens in the show, you can watch Sofia's amulet and dress. Season 1-Season 3 pre-Secret of Avalor (technically an Elena of Avalor episode) = usually purple amulet and original dress (purple and white/signature) except in certain episodes where she gets a special outfit Season 3 post-Secert of Avalor-Season 4 = pink amulet and new primary dress (purple and pink/redesign)

12:49 They are siblings *step siblings* Sofia had a single mom and well... The theme song :then i became a princess *over night*

I've had Sofia the First songs on the brain for so long, you have no idea

13:00 “but they harmonize nicely together” I DONT MIND IF THE WORLD~

I used to LOVE Sofia The First…as a middle schooler, it was embarrassing but I’ll always stick beside my girl Sofia, the songs are great!

I would love to see a video on the spin-off show of Sofia the first Elena of Avalor! She’s a Latina princess and she’s so so cool. I have been rewatching it and the show still holds up decently well for Disney jr! I really enjoy Sofia but I felt as an older watcher Elena suited me better as it’s an older protagonist and so the problems and dialogue were a little more mature sometimes. Though Sofia gets into some crazy stuff for a ten year old 😂 Here are some of my favourite songs! - My Time - Let Love Light the Way - Wings Up - A Gift of Night - A New Tale

So I discovered this show probably in my late teens/early adulthood, and I actually quickly decided it was one of my favorite shows, full-stop.

For the slumber party song sofia invites her friends from the village and they use pinecones as curlers and are just generally having fun and the princesses don't like how they have fun and are telling sofia to get them under control which is why the pinecones are brought up

I need another video on sofia, this show has so many bangers that's its kind if insane. If you decide to do this again I suggest the song bigger is better, one of my favorite Amber songs

Sofía was living in a village with her mom, and her mom fell in love with the king so they got married and that's why, the song says that she turned into a princess over night. And also, She calls herself "Sofía the first" Because, when she was dancing and talking with her, now father, the king, he revealed that he's called "Rolan the second" Beca6his father was also named Rolan. So, Sofía, said that she's Sofía the first (I don't remember what exactly she said but it's probably because her Mom's name is Miranda) 14:03 Amber and James give Sharpay and Ryan vibes 😭💅(I heard a youtuber saying this and I agree xD)

If you do another Sofia video, you NEED to listen to that’s not who I am. It has some of the best vocals and emotional complexity of any song I’ve ever heard, not just from the show

This show was my WHOLE childhood. The songs were and still are a bop. I got too old for it when season 3 and 4 were out but season 1 and 2 and the “movies” were just *chefs kiss*

I’m not even a sofia the first fan, I was too old for that show by the time it aired, but man you gotta listen to that one cedric song. Absolute musical theatre banger.

AHH I love that you chose “All You Need”. My cousin dance to it whenever we get the chance (even though we’re a little too old for it now 😂) I also come humbly baring recommendations 😌 If you happen to do another Sofia The First vid, I recommend the following: - Bigger is Better - A Kingdom of My Own - Me and My Mum - The Simple Life - Dare To Risk It All - Two by Two - Princess Things - Moment To Shine This is way longer than I intended it to be, but the songs are too good to shorten it 😭 Sorry to bombard you

I highly recommend "On my Own" from this show. It's a hero vs. villain confrontation song and is actually pretty epic.

I absolutely adore the nostalgic ride you've been taking us on lately

Amber (blonde princess) is the stereotypical prissy mean princess, but she gradually gets character development as the seasons goes on because of sofia

So Sofia is a princess overnight by her mother (not a royal) marrying the King of the kingdom. She moves in and has to learn how to become a proper princess while also helping other royals how to be themselves, being kind and to stand up to certain social situations. (Ie. being a rude, spoiled, uneducated, ignorant royals or social pressures) The twins that you saw are her step siblings, that’s why she looks different. The boy twin is nice, only the girl twin had jealousy issues that she solves with being around Sofia. It’s a great show, never finished the first season if it tho😅❤

Just so you’re aware about Cinderella. Her parents both died when she was very young, basically one after the other. Her step-family never kidnapped her 😂 her step-mother just made her do all the housework after she bankrupt the family. Her step family is all she ever knew, she didn’t know any different and they weren’t even fully abusive (physically) up until the dress incident which is why that was her breaking point of realizing she wanted to leave. Plus she didn’t even want to go to the ball to meet the prince, she just wanted to have fun finally. Also in the sequels they redeem Anastasia (red head) and they finally become sisters.

LOVE THE VID, sofia the frist was my childhood and I ALSO SUGGEST ELENA OF AVALOR it's kinda like sofia the first but there music is way different but the story ties in great with eachother bc sofia has a magical necklace and that has its own lore on it which basically elena was traped in, yk just google the lore on it but that's my reaction request (i have hope your seeing this)

I recomend listening to songs from Mermaid Melody! They are really good,thought not all have english translation but there is in other languages like French,Greek etc. My favorite songs are Return to the sea and Tsubasa wo daite.(english lyrics) These were my childhood.

I love this show! the lore gets really great as you continue and i hope you could do more reactions to them!

I find it mildly infuriating whenever I know the context of a show, and I'm watching someone who doesn't have that context. and you're just like, no its because of this, and this happened etc.

Plot explanation: Sofia's mother married the king and so she became a princess overnight also the two blonde kids from "play with us" are her step-siblings. Now she must learn to be royalty..........for season 1-2. 3 and 4 seem like a different show

19:00 Cinderella did, in fact, reconcile with her red haired step-sister in one of the movies sequels.

Alan Menken wrote the music for this series. He's one of the ones responsible for a fair amount of the most popular disney music. That might be why you get that almost nostalgic disney feeling with the songs.

I binged this so so hard because it was a huge part on my Childhood, thank you for reacting to it ❤❤

she has a magic amulet that gives her powers for helping people, it gave her the power to turn into a mermaid after helping a mermaid name Oona get unstuck from a fishing net. the princesses are "summon" by the amulet but they don't stay long

hope you see more because this show is a masterpeice!!!😄

OML I was obsessed with this show as a kid! Still love it honestly lol. For context Sofia and her mother (Miranda) did live in a village and her mother was a shoemaker. One day when she went to deliver shoes for the King (Roland) they immediately fell in love. The King was widowed and has two children named Amber and James. (The blonde twins seen in the song). When both Miranda and Roland married Miranda became queen making Sofia a princess and step sister. For context in the song "True Sisters" is when Sofia is first starting out as a princess. Everyone treats her as family while Amber does not quite see her as that yet. Amber gives her a bit of a hard time due to reasons that are said in the show. So in this song Cinderella is giving her advice on how to fix things between them. Though Amber seems mean, dramatic, and a little snobbish sometimes she does get more character development and becomes more nice and caring towards Sofia. As for the disney princesses they aren't exactly there. That might spread some confusion but I don't wanna spoil too much yet lol. Anyway that's all the context I can give. I suggest listening to more songs from Sofia the First. There are some really good ones that get me emotional. 😁

THIS SHOW WAS MY CHILDHOOD!! I loved it, I *really* loved it

Love your videos! Your reactions are always so entertaining! You looking for answers, and only finding more questions was hilarious.

About the Cinderella sisters topic, i suppose since the sisters were the same age as Cinderella their behavior could be attributed to how Lady Tremaine treats them. In Cinderella 2 & 3, they were consistent with the fact that Anastasia just wants someone to love her as her, etc.

I feel like you have to watch the show, but the songs provide so much context for the show anyway. One of my favorite songs had to be Blue Ribbon Bunny.

I love this show. It came out well after my childhood but i watched and enjoyed the whole thing as an adult 😂 there’s a “spin off” too Elena of Avalor - it has songs! Right up your alley ❤

for anyone confused about where rise and shine is from it's the credits song from the pilot movie

This is one of my fav childhood shows and all of the songs are sooo good. Im so glad you did this and hope you do more.

For a disney junior show, sofia the first is honestly a very good show. I became a fan of it back in 2021 because a friend of mine told me to watch it and at first i was like "isn't that for toddlers though?" And she was like "trust me! It's so good and it has a story plot too!" So i ended watching it and my gosh, it's one of my top favorite disney shows, it's wholesome, surprisingly funny, fun likable characters, and of course the songs are also good. And out all the characters, cedric has to be my most favorite, he always makes the show much better whenever he appears, and i love his character development 😊

Her mother married the king, that’s why she became a princess the two kids at 10:55 are her twin older stepsiblings James and Amber. She has magical amulet that’s why she was able to turn into a mermaid and that’s how she often gets aids from other Disney princess. Whenever she needs help, the amulet brings the princess that could help her the most.

would just like to clarify- Cinderellas stepsisters were also abused by the step mom in the sequels and acted that way towards her to please their mom, not excusing their actions but it kinda adds context to the last song

No because when I read the title I felt my childhood flash before my eyes 😭
