The "Sofia" movie will debut in fall 2012, with the TV series following in spring 2013.
"Sofia" will debut on the Disney Channel and Disney Junior, the daytime block of programming that will launch as its own cable channel early in 2012. Disney Junior is aimed at the 2-7-year-old age group.
"Although Sofia will have plenty of pretty dresses and sparkly shoes, our stories will show Sofia, and our viewers, that what makes a real princess is what's inside, not what's outside," said Nancy Kanter, senior vice president of programming and general manager for Disney Junior Worldwide. "That the inner character of kindness, generosity, loyalty, honesty and grace make you special, not the dress you wear.
"In Sofia, we have a 'peer to peer princess,' a relatable girl experiencing the same social issues as our young viewers … learning how to fit in, making new friends, conquering new skills and building sibling relationships."
While Sophia is a princess, and is Disney, she will not be a part of the "Disney Princess" franchise.
I think she is adorable!

Love the idea...but the mere fact she "won't be included" with the Disney princess collection makes everything they are trying to yeah null and void.
