Breana Navickas, one of our ah-mazing storyboard artists on #sofiathefirstroyalmagic, has a kickstarter going for her super-cool witch/vampire project and she's almost at her goal. Crossing my fingers and wands that she makes it! 🧛‍♀️🧙‍♀️✨

So does sofia the first but the kids aren’t complaining

For those that don't have Disney Plus or cable, the 2nd full episode of #sofiathefirstroyalmagic has gone up on YouTube! 💜👑✨ #sofiathefirst

Here we are with some of my boards for the Sofia the First: Royal Magic episode "The Green-Eyed Monster!". This was another favorite to board since I adore close siblings bonds in stories, and I really loved getting to board scenes showcasing Zane and Zaria's.💙✨️🩵

I didn't know Princess Butterfly had so many views. Speaking of that ep, we only included snippet of the song Sabrina Carpenter recorded for that episode (as Princess Vivian). But there's actually a whole 2 minute song. Maybe I'll play it in an IG reel someday... #WhosThat #SofiaTheFirst

Love this! So cute! (And the spider is a nice touch.) 💜

Happy Pride to all who celebrate love and acceptance. Much love to all you beautiful dolls out there just trying to get by being yourselves. And much love to those unafraid to love someone the hateful might deem wrong. Everyone else: fix your hearts or die. Fuck hate, choose love. Love wins.

I've been checking in on the #sofiathefirst tumblr fans since Royal Magic came out and it reminded me that I put a shout-out to one of the biggest OG tumblr fans in the StF series finale song, A Big Day. I could only fit in half their handle bc of the rhythm but it's the thought that counts! 💜

Tea time (Rough sketch but wanted to doodle something like this) #sofiathefirstroyalmagic

If you wanna hear some of the songs from #sofiathefirstroyalmagic that haven't appeared in the show yet (and some that have), the soundtrack just came out and is available for streaming (or purchase) in most of the places you would do that online! You may even hear some Disney Princesses sing! 💜👑✨🎵🔥

Don’t listen to the online haters, go watch Royal Magic and bond over it with your younger siblings/children like I did🪄✨ #sofiathefirstroyalmagic @craiggerber.com

If you thought Miss Nettle wouldn't give herself a magical facelift when she opened a school, you don't know Nettle. 🧚

Loved the in-depth discussion AWN had with @swaggletoof.bsky.social and I regarding some of the more technical aspects of #sofiathefirstroyalmagic! It'll give you a good glimpse into how much effort we put into the show, which debuts on #DisneyPlus today (in the US)! 💜👑✨#sofiathefirst

Nice review of the new show from The Princess Blog!💜👸💜

HAPPY PREMIERE DAY! #sofiathefirstroyalmagic

HAPPY ROYAL MAGIC PREMIERE DAY EVERYONE!!!! Thanks for joining me in the countdown and hope everyone enjoys the first episodes!!!!👑💜✨

I was there yesterday to see it and take pics lol! So grateful that Disney did an outdoor campaign for our show! First time for me! 💜✨#sofiathefirst #sofiathefirstroyalmagic

If you have some spare time and want to hear about my winding path to animated TV, @nevslin.bsky.social and Dan Rutstein graciously invited me to be a guest on their podcast about rejection & adversity in the biz - "Screaming Into the Hollywood Abyss." And oh did I have plenty of both to share! 😂

2 days left until it's time to meet the adorkable Princess Camila in the premiere of Royal Magic!!!!👑💚🪄

She's back! 💜💜💜

If you want to get a first look at one of the recurring villains in #sofiathefirstroyalmagic -- and learn more about the Lady Saddlespur, Pepper and the rest of the show, check out this fantastic article by @amyamatangelo.bsky.social in the @latimes.com today! 💜👑✨

From ABC News last night! Ariel Winter talking about #sofiathefirstroyalmagic! 💜

Here's a link to an interview I recently did with the marvelous Mansha Daswani of ScreenMDM! It's been a nice change of pace to be chatting with folks about the show instead of just making it. 💜👑✨🎤🎥

Five days left until the premiere of Royal Magic! Very excited for everyone to get to meet the iconic Princess Zaria, Prince Zane's sister, very soon!!! 👑🩵🕷️

Yes, Camila basically teleports into mid-air, then falls. I didn't know they were going to put out this clip but here's another little peek at a moment from the first episode of #sofiathefirstroyalmagic 💜👑✨

Thanks for the countdown, Kelsey! #sofiathefirst #princessamber

Last week, I got to sit down and chat with Steve Sievers at Bionic Buzz about all things! Check it out! #sofiathefirst #sofiathefirstroyalmagic 💜👑✨

Jackson Murphy interviewed Supervising Director, Kris W., and myself about all things #sofiathefirstroyalmagic for Animation Scoop. Transcript can be found via the link. It was also recorded so that video is probably floating around somewhere, too! Always love talking to Jackson! 💜

Yesterday, we got to celebrate the premiere of #SofiaTheFirstRoyalMagic with the most enchanted breakfast ever! From the Sofia pancakes to the latte foam art to meet-and-greets w/ Sofia herself, it was AH-mazing. But the best part was watching the kids see the first episode for the first time! 💜💜💜

Great catch, Danny! I had no idea! Pretty cool that they are showing the original #sofiathefirst movie the day before launching the new show! 💜

One of these things is not like the other lol

Animation Magazine has a really wonderful article about the new trailer and includes a still of my favorite scene in the first episode of #SofiaTheFirstRoyalMagic! We spent a lot of time (which we usually don't have) getting the characters, backgrounds and lighting just right for this moment.

The full trailer for #SofiaTheFirstRoyalMagic is out on YouTube. Let me know what you think. <bracing myself> 💜

Big day today! The 5 shorts introducing Sofia's new friends dropped on Disney Plus, @ynb.bsky.social revealed her new character Lady Saddlespur while talking about a joint charity collab she is doing with Disney and @donorschoose.bsky.social - AND a new Royal Magic trailer is out! So much Sofia! 💜

I thought these were coming out tomorrow but I guess two of them are out now. Three more will follow. These shorts are simple introductions to the characters and world--written by our writing staff, then produced by the marketing team. Welcome to Charmswell! #SofiaTheFirstRoyalMagic

Not only are Jade and Ruby going to be in #sofiathefirstroyalmagic, Isabella Acres and Diamond White are returning to voice their characters! One of the best parts of doing the new show is reuniting with the amazing actors from the OG show. We’re getting the band back together! 💜 #sofiathefirst

Disney IT sometimes sends fake phishing emails to employees in order to test online security. Today's email came from "Nathan Huffhines" and the attachment was "Unpainted Arizona." Two super-deep-cut Raising Arizona references. To the Coen Bros fan in Disney IT, I salute you! 🫡

So adorable! 💜💜💜

OMG - it's Bo and Harry from #firebuds! 🔥❤️

If you wanna listen to the new #SofiaTheFirstRoyalMagic theme song and possibly get a sneak peek of the other song titles that will be released on 5/29, head to your local music streaming service now! 🎵🎶👑💜 #SofiaTheFirst #RoyalMagic

So much #SofiaTheFirstRoyalMagic info today! Where to even start? Show debuts on Disney Channel & Disney Junior on 5/25 w/ 8 eps dropping on Disney+ on 5/26! Sofia will be visited by Moana, Rapunzel, Jasmine, Cinderella, Aurora & Elena of Avalor!!! Oh and here's the new main title sequence! 👑💜✨

It's like we assembled the Comedy Avengers! Having so much fun working with the ah-mazing @ynb.bsky.social, Tony Hale, Beanie Feldstein, James Monroe Iglehart, Rachel Bloom, Nat Faxon, Jeremy Swift, Ethan Slater and Jeremy Jordan! They're putting the magic in #SofiaTheFirst #RoyalMagic 💜👑✨

What an unexpected delight running into @diedrichbader.bsky.social last night, who voiced P.I. Carlowe - a street sweeping detective who was cleaning up the streets in the #Firebuds favorite TV show. One of my favorite character designs from the series and we got to do a B&W noir look!

My boys just tried to go to their gym which, unfortunately for them, is across the street from the Vanity Fair Oscar party. So no gym tonight, boys. Just a bunch of black Escalades and detours back home lol.

This happened last fall, but I just found out about it now and it's so sweet so I had to share it. ❤️💃 #ElenaOfAvalor #DisneyWorld

Setting aside the world going haywire for a moment to celebrate #Firebuds winning a @glaad.bsky.social award last night for our Mother's Day episode! So proud of the cast and crew for giving their all in making a show that highlighted inclusivity and diversity. 🏳️‍🌈🔥❤️

You don't usually see articles this thoughtful and perceptive about preschool animation. Definitely worth a read (though I am not confirming or denying any conclusions drawn about the new show). I greatly appreciate the author's thorough analysis! 💜 animesuperhero.com/editorial-ho...

Looking forward to showing my youngest son #SofiaTheFirst #OnceUponAPrincess for the first time tonight - now that it’s finally streaming on #DisneyPlus! He’s about to find out how Sofia started learning what being royal’s all about! 💜
