Princess Butterfly (Sofia The First)-Toon-O-Ween 2015 Part 1

Welcome to the very first installment of Toon-O-Ween 2015. 

Today is Princess Butterfly from Sofia The First.

Evan, isn't Sofia a show made for 2 year olds. 

Blah, blah, blah. I don't care. I mean after all I watch My Little Pony (which will also be covered eventually) I don't really care what type of show I'm watching or who it's targeted for as long as it's enjoyable. Make fun of me if you want, but yes I do get some enjoyment out of Sofia The First. I just woke up early one day and caught it on tv. Why was I watching Disney Junior. Cause Cartoon Network only had Teen Titans Go on and then Nick was doing Nick Jr. Which I find incredibly boring. I figured, since it's Disney, I'd still get some enjoyment out of it. And I got a lot more than I thought I would. I honestly really do like this show. In fact this was the episode that gave me the idea to do Toon-O-Ween. Princess Butterfly. Sounds terrifying right. Let's do this.

This episode follows Amber, Sofia's sister. She always wins the costume contest (for a Halloween like holiday) at school but she may not this year as a new rule for the contest has been set. The new rule is you have to make your own costume. Meaning the have to do the sewing and everything. Sofia's excited as she can sew, but Amber seriously faints. We get slot of funny scenes of Amber trying to sew, and I should bring up I actually did laugh a few times through out the episode. It's actually pretty funny. Who would've thought a Disney Junior show would get so many laughs out of me. Am I entertained easily, will I just laugh at anything.

Amber sees that Sofia has sewed together a beautiful costume and gets jealous so she goes to Cedric, the wizard (who I love by the way) in the hopes that he can use magic to make a costume. The thing is though Cedric is evil and no one knows. He plots to take Sofia's amulet, which allows her to talk to animals, and now has a master plan in order to get it. So Cedric uses magic to make Amber a costume. It's great and it ends up winning the contest. But, a problem arises as the costume won't come of. Cedric says the only way to remove it is to get Sofia's amulet. So there's the basic plot. 

So how is the episode. It's pretty good. Amber is usually a very.....how should I say it, stuck up, prissy, prestigious character. She actually kinda reminds me of another cartoon character.

Ah yes Rarity. If you wanna make this type of character likeable Rarity is the person you should be taking notes from. She's still all those things above but at the same time she's funny and she doesn't act like a douche. Amber can though sometimes. However she's also really like able in this episode. You can tell she doesn't wanna take her sisters most valuable possession, but she tries to anyway 

cause, well, you don't wanna be stuck as a butterfly do ya. Yeah she gets stuck as a butterfly and we 

get some rather funny scenes out of it. As for Sofia, I kinda realized while watching this that.....well, she's a bit of a Mary Sue. I still like her, but I kinda realized she's a bit to perfect as a character. She has no fault, unlike say Amber and can pretty much do most things perfectly. True there are moments when she struggles but generally based on the episodes I have seen she seems this way. I mean she's always so kind and generous and has an ideal personality. Blah blah blah. The thing is though I still find her likeable as she kinda actually breaks the status quo of what a princess is and how she should act. Because of that I find her rather likeable. Maybe when I get to other episodes I will learn that she's more than what I made of her(I hope that's the case). Sofia works here though as she's more of a background character in this episode and she gives us just enough to fill that role. 

The only other major character I feel I need to mention is Cedric. He's a cliche villian, but I will admit I have so much fun watching him. He's kind like the wizard version of Dr. Doofenschmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. This episode is like his shining moment. 

So the characters are good. What about the story. It's pretty much the basic "you shouldn't lie or else bad things will happen" story. It was a lot of fun to watch though. I don't know why, I just had a lot of fun and I highly enjoyed it. 

We also get a really cool chase scene in the end. Yeah a Disney Junior show with an awesome chase scene that involves a raven, a butterfly person, and a flying horse. 

But that's Butterfly Princess. Not to halloweeney but it is technically a Halloween episode so here ya go. It's overall a fun episode. Really enjoyable and pretty funny. That's really all I can say. Oh, I guess I could bring up the relationship between Amber and Sofia in this episode. It's a great sibling relationship. Overall, I'd say this is an enjoyable fun episode. 

Overall Score-8/10

So there we go. The first part of Toon-O-Ween. Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and I'll see you guys next time.
