Presenting "The Royal 80s!", my piece for the Disney TVA's newest Art Gallery! The theme was "Fashion Disney Decades." I had such a fun time researching all sorts of 80s fashions to see which ones fit the Sofia the First Royal Magic cast.💜✨

The lyric for Unstoppable was co-written by Keith Harrison Dworkin (the composer), episode writer Isabel Galupo and me. My favorite contribution was when we had to replace some lyrics without changing the music & I wrote "that for one tiny second your reckon..." That was tough! #SofiaTheFirst

Here’s a glimpse of last week’s rehearsal for our D23 #sofiathefirstroyalmagic sing-along tomorrow (Sunday) on the Spotlight Stage at 12:30! Hope the show goes as well as the rehearsal!

Breana Navickas, one of our ah-mazing storyboard artists on #sofiathefirstroyalmagic, has a kickstarter going for her super-cool witch/vampire project and she's almost at her goal. Crossing my fingers and wands that she makes it! 🧛‍♀️🧙‍♀️✨

Here we are with some of my boards for the Sofia the First: Royal Magic episode "The Green-Eyed Monster!". This was another favorite to board since I adore close siblings bonds in stories, and I really loved getting to board scenes showcasing Zane and Zaria's.💙✨️🩵

I didn't know Princess Butterfly had so many views. Speaking of that ep, we only included snippet of the song Sabrina Carpenter recorded for that episode (as Princess Vivian). But there's actually a whole 2 minute song. Maybe I'll play it in an IG reel someday... #WhosThat #SofiaTheFirst

Happy Pride to all who celebrate love and acceptance. Much love to all you beautiful dolls out there just trying to get by being yourselves. And much love to those unafraid to love someone the hateful might deem wrong. Everyone else: fix your hearts or die. Fuck hate, choose love. Love wins.

I've been checking in on the #sofiathefirst tumblr fans since Royal Magic came out and it reminded me that I put a shout-out to one of the biggest OG tumblr fans in the StF series finale song, A Big Day. I could only fit in half their handle bc of the rhythm but it's the thought that counts! 💜

If you wanna hear some of the songs from #sofiathefirstroyalmagic that haven't appeared in the show yet (and some that have), the soundtrack just came out and is available for streaming (or purchase) in most of the places you would do that online! You may even hear some Disney Princesses sing! 💜👑✨🎵🔥

Yesterday, we got to celebrate the premiere of #SofiaTheFirstRoyalMagic with the most enchanted breakfast ever! From the Sofia pancakes to the latte foam art to meet-and-greets w/ Sofia herself, it was AH-mazing. But the best part was watching the kids see the first episode for the first time! 💜💜💜

Animation Magazine has a really wonderful article about the new trailer and includes a still of my favorite scene in the first episode of #SofiaTheFirstRoyalMagic! We spent a lot of time (which we usually don't have) getting the characters, backgrounds and lighting just right for this moment.

I thought these were coming out tomorrow but I guess two of them are out now. Three more will follow. These shorts are simple introductions to the characters and world--written by our writing staff, then produced by the marketing team. Welcome to Charmswell! #SofiaTheFirstRoyalMagic

Disney IT sometimes sends fake phishing emails to employees in order to test online security. Today's email came from "Nathan Huffhines" and the attachment was "Unpainted Arizona." Two super-deep-cut Raising Arizona references. To the Coen Bros fan in Disney IT, I salute you! 🫡
