I usually say Panda's, but the more I think about the more I realize that's not so true anymore! I'm really fond of African canines like Hyenas and African Wild Dog as well as Deer and Reindeer. Guess I don't really have an overall favorite anymore, the animal world is too diverse!
Hyenas aren't actually canines, they're their own family.

And can we include extinct species? 'Cause there were these big flightless, carnivorous birds in SAm once...& this eagle that ate Moas...not to mention all the whackadoodle critters we've found from the Cambrian explosion...
  :nerdy:

Well, I never said you couldn't.  ;)

I would personally buy the Transformer. I'm not really a pony collector, I only prefer Transformers because they're robots in disguise:

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!  :lol:

In all seriousness, it's all up to you.

 :blink: Woah, that's a lot. I used to collect the entire Smurf village, and they were pretty close to that number of individuals. Impressive.

Kinda scary, though. That army looks like it's onto something.

So, out of all the beings in the animal kingdom, which one is your favourite?

Mine, the crocodile. Because it's like an ancient god, who you can't anger, because you fear its strength. And with reason, the saltwater crocodile holds the medal for the animal with the highest bite force on the planet.

It was OK. Nothing special from Marvel. Probably not very true to the comics, but quite funny.

I don't.

It teaches kids nothing, either that, or it teaches something awful, like that you need to win to feel good about yourself. Disney is just disappointing me with all these new lazy-written shows. It's on the same level of Caillou, where the cartoon just insults the child's intelligence.

I wish some older Disney cartoon returned, like DuckTales, Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop...

In other words, cartoons that want to entertain kids, and not bore them.

You...Don't really understand how childrens TV works...Do you?  :huh:

Duck Tales and those shows are from Disney Channel.
Sofia the First is from Disney Junior.
If this doesn't sum up my point then ???

Sofia the First has a lot of good points, such as
1. Trust your gut. If someone makes you uncomfortable, then there's probably a good reason.
2. Don't let people push you around.
3. Don't side with sexists.
4. People can unlearn a problematic behaviour.
Of course it has its bad episodes, like The Amulet and the Anthem and Mystic Meadows, and sure, some of the more recent episodes haven't been that great but Sofia the First isn't an insult to children intelligence, I would think it's popularity would show that.

Say what you want about Sofia the First, but coming to a thread made for people to share positive thoughts, and throwing out negativity makes you look like a jerk. You're perfectly welcome to have your opinions, of course, but your opinions feel like you really didn't pay much attention to what you were seeing. I hope i can show you that while you don't have to like Sofia the First, you shouldn't dismiss it as insulting just because it's for a different age group than older Disney shows. New doesn't mean bad.
Thanks for reading  :yikes:

Look at the title, "Does anybody like Sofia The First?"
And I answered: I don't. Simply put, this topic is made to give opinions, either positive or negative. I chose negative, and I might have said some thing that could upset some people, but...

...I'm not saying it's a BAD show, it's a decent one. If it entertains children, it's working. And it works, so I guess I can't say it's not a succesful cartoon. I guess I shouldn't compare it too much to other Disney cartoons either, since Disney had a ton of bad shows back in the 80s and 90s.

My nitpick on the show is the bad guy. Everywhere I look for a story, the villain is the one thing I look forward to, but the villain of this show (the main one, the sorcerer guy) is kinda silly. Maybe it's made that way I don't know, but how is he going to rule the land with a gem that lets him talk to animals?

In fact, how does the gem even work? Where did it come from?

Another nitpick I have is that there are cameos. WHY? Why do we need more Disney princesses into one single show? Haven't their stories been already told and finished?
