Sofia meets Bo

I just wanted to doodle something like this lol

Aliki Theofilopoulous showcased some of the posters at the Disney Television Animation Development & Current offices with the caption: "Time to add more?" 👀

 Okay so it was confirmed that for Sofia the First Royal Magic, the same animation studio (Link) and many of the people from the creative team who worked on Firebuds (Link) are going to make it. So, I watched some episodes of Firebuds to try to predict what Royal Magic might be like, and I made an absolutely amazing discovery! Now I am more excited for Royal Magic than ever before because this is amazing and awesome, and it makes me so happy! The parents are treated as completely normal and accepted by everyone else in the show, and there's an episode (Balancing Act) that talks about how families are the people who love you and that they can be bigger or look different than one might expect!

 Anyway, here are some of the main episodes with Violet and her moms:

Firebuds Season 1 Episode 4a Picnic Pile-Up

Firebuds Season 1 Episode 21b Job-O-Rama Day

Firebuds Season 2 Episode 8a Balancing Act

 These families are just so adorable and it's so amazing that the creative team was able to do this! Like in Sofia the First they weren't able to have any overtly LGBTQ+ characters, in my opinion there was coding for some characters, but nothing openly confirmed in the show itself. In Elena of Avalor they were able to have certain scenes in “Sweetheart's Day” and “Coronation Day” that implied possible gay and lesbian relationships, but nothing overtly stated (along with more coding). And then in Firebuds they are just like: Yep, they’re a couple. They're married. Love is real.

Today’s Asian character is Bo Bayani from Firebuds!

He is half Filipino and Jewish-American.
