Good idea lost in the noise

Fresh and Exciting

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

My 2 year old loves this show, sweet messages also.

Since making her debut in Summer of 2016 Disney Channel has proven itself to making magic happen with Elena Of Avalor and since Elena Of Avalor made it's debut it has become a blockbuster hit with girls everywhere and since it's debut Elena Of Avalor has soared to popularity and has inspired everything from dolls to toys and kids clothing and other merchandise. Although not officially part of the popular Disney Princess line yet Princess Elena is an excellent role model for all ages and in each episode of the show has a wonderful storyline great songs and a lesson for girls to learn. Some episodes deal with many problems girls face today like being a good sport making friends decision making to many real life situations such as starting school and moving to a new house. Craig Gerber really is a genius when it comes to creating great cartoons and with Craig Gerber's neat talent it's no secret Elena Of Avalor is such a inspiring hit cartoon to come out from Disney Channel in years and I hope Disney Channel makes more episodes of Elena Of Avalor in the future because the third time really is the charm for Disney Channel and it's all because of Elena Of Avalor

so let me start out that I'm a 34 year old Disney fan with no children. I watch this show because I enjoy it and Sofia the First as lighthearted shows that bring me Disney Magic more often then new Disney movies come out.I've read the other 4 review of this show, written when very few of the episodes where out and I feel that I can expand on what they have said.Firs off, yes this show is a Spin Off of Sofia the First (a Disney Junior show), but with an older main character (Elena) so that it deals with ordeals of a more mature theme, which is why it's on the Disney Channel and not Disney Junior. Like StF there is at least one new song each episode, and they are written to at least sound like Latino music to keep with the feel of Disney's First Latino Princess. There are many other nods to different Latino cultures threw out the show. Which I find enjoyable, as it differentiates Avalor from all other Disney Countries, giving it it's own flair.Most of the episodes deals with Elena, newly released from the Amulet of Avalor after 41 years, dealing with decisions she has to make as Crown Princess. Elena's still a teenager so things don't always go as planed. There have also been a few villains that come threw, some with magic making her Royal Wizard a necessary helper.For those who want the backstory of Elena, how she got trapped in an amulet, how she got out etc. you will need to watch the Sofia the First special Elena and the Secret of Avalor, as, like I said, this is a spin off series. (I'm hoping that in the future there will be more crossovers and mention to places and things from StF in EoA).All in all I think this is a great show, and properly belongs on the Disney Channel and not Disney Junior.

From the promos, I assumed that it would be a Disney Channel version of Sofia The First and that it would only appeal to 5 to 8 year olds and well, I was right and wrong. It has the same animation style as STF and it's also a musical, but I found myself really enjoying it. It has a good message and it's interesting enough. The characters are likable and the songs they sing are actually really good. I like the idea of a Latina princess too, it's really nice. The only request I have is that they should try to make the show appeal more to 9-14 year olds, which I'm guessing is the primary age group of people who even watch Disney Channel. Right now, from what I've seen, it's more of Disney Junior material. That doesn't mean it's a bad show, though. If they succeed in making it more relateable and geared towards the 9-14 age group, I would probably like it way more then I already do. Anyway, it's a good show and I'm glad that Disney Channel is bringing back animated shows.
