Surprisingly incoherent and boring

A lot of fun.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I think people are over-analyzing this movie. Keep in mind that this is a Disney JUNIOR movie. It is meant for pre-k to elementary school age children. This movie is about a young girl who suddenly becomes a princess, this is every little girl's dream. Yes there are flying horses and talking animals because that's what little girls dream of. I like the fact that there is a new little princess for such little girls, that doesn't involve falling in love and getting married. It addresses family life, friendship and sibling rivalry - the things that a little girl that age deals with. It's simply the innocent magical world of a young sweet girl that every little girl wants to be! I love it and so does my daughter.

Disney is fast becoming the kingdom of female empowerment. Wasn't their a mermaid then fairy series that basically followed the same mode? Now after Disney has bought Star Wars, Pixar, and Tim Burton's franchise, I fear all products will repeat Disney's flavor of movie themes and characters. I sat through this latest title with my daughter, Sofia etc..., its an entertaining movie for girls in a world of Disney males. Then there was an ad for "Cinderella III, Where she makes her own decisions." Go girl power!The last time I watched Disney was shortly after they killed off Christopher Robins in their new Winnie the Pooh series.

More and more Disney is becoming the LifeTime Movie network where girls are built up and anything male is reduced to insignificant bumbling fools and incompetent evil doers. Disney is insisting on teaching the younger male generations that they a insignificant and irrelevant. Ever since the Lion King, when the feminist network protested the celebration of a male lead character, Disney has been overcompensating by making string after string of LifeTimeNetwork-type shows and animation.I understand that this is a business, so I understand Disney wanting to appease feminist, girl-empowering, women's coalition, women's studies groups because they are the ones who are ready (well financed) to organize a large media protest. All I can do is keep Disney out of my house. Time to use Parental lock on the Disney Channel.

This movie is about a little girl who moves into a castle with her mother and becomes a princess. Her name is Sophia. She has to put up with a step brother and step sister who play tricks on her. Sophia gets a necklace from the king which has magic powers. I watched this movie with my 4 yr old son. We loved it. We can't wait til January 2013 for the new series to start. So we can watch it weekly. It was very entertaining and funny. It was so good that it kept us waiting and watching to see what would happen next. I give it 10 stars. I would recommend it to all who love to watch Disney shows and movies. Has very good morals to teach the children
