We absolutely love this series, especially the emphasis on blended families. It's nice to see a modern family portrayed in a kids' show, since so many families include step-parents and siblings. Ours, included! You'd never know my oldest was Dan's step-son if you saw them together, though! Anyway, my kids were absolutely stoked when the newest "Sofia the First" DVD release arrived. In "Sofia the First: The Curse of Princess Ivy", Sofia and her pals encounter the evil Princess Ivy, who just happens to be voiced by Anna Camp of "Pitch Perfect" fame. This episode had us at the edge of our seats, but of course, teamwork, love, and helping others prevails over evil any day! Synopsis: The revelation of a spellbinding secret sets in motion the most thrilling adventure in the history of Sofia the First! After learning that the Amulet of Avalor is magical, Amber snatches it while Sofia is sleeping. Unfortunately, she unwittingly unleashes a curse that summons evil Princess Ivy, who threatens to destroy the amulet, seize the crown and turn the entire kingdom black-and-white! Amber and Sofia soar through the skies on a flying dragon – aided by special guest Rapunzel – as they embark on a daring quest to defeat Ivy, break the curse and save Enchancia. Packed with high-flying excitement, plus three more song-filled episodes, The Curse of Princess Ivy shows how love, trust, and unselfishly putting others’ needs first can truly work magic!
