Sofia the First is an American animated musical fantasy children's television series created and developed by Craig Gerber for Disney Television Animation and Disney Junior. The series follows a young peasant girl named Sofia, voiced by Ariel Winter, who becomes a princess after her mother marries the King of Enchancia. The episodes center on her adventures as she adjusts to royal life and forms friendships, including with animal companions with whom she communicates through a magical amulet that rewards or curses her depending on the goodness of her actions.

Production

For five years, Disney writers, child-development and early-education experts and storytelling consultants worked to create a television show that would bypass stereotypes of evil stepmothers and girls requiring princes to save them. Disney also wanted it to spawn various merchandise.

As a child, Gerber lived with his single mother, her boyfriend, and his daughter, whom Gerber considered to be a de facto stepsister. As an adult, he learnt that when step-siblings and parents were involved, ordinary childhood concerns were typically amplified.

Tim Mertens, the editor of Tangled (2010), recommended Kevin Kliesch, who helped with the film, to Disney Channel as a composer for Sofia the First. The network was positive towards his background, and he booked the job. Kliesch was usually given one to two weeks to write the music, meaning he had to compose for at least three minutes a day to meet this deadline.
