Learning to navigate the royal world becomes the backdrop for lessons about friendship, family, and standing up for what’s right. Throughout it all, classic princesses like Mulan and Rapunzel make cameos, but largely to help Sofia realize her own strength in achieving a goal. She says at the beginning of every episode she was a “girl in village doing alright, then I became a princess overnight.” Ariel says that everyone’s having so much fun making the Emmy-winning ABC program that it’s often surprising that any work gets done.Anyone concerned about Sofia being too superficial could enjoy watching her subvert gender norms in elegant princess pant suits, like when she fought to race her pegasus alongside the boys (and sang about it, to boot.) And while her back story is typical rags-to-riches stuff, in which her mom marries a king so she becomes a princess, the writers are careful not to disparage her working class roots. “It takes just as much time to do the recordings for Sofia as it does to shoot Modern Family.”īeing alone in the recording studio does make the process go faster than filming Modern Family. I talk to them a lot about the character,” Ariel says. “Normally, it’s just me in the recording studio but I can play off the directors. But nothing has compared to the time demands of the new Disney Junior show, which is complicated even more by the musical numbers.Īriel records the music and dialogue at different times.

Providing the voice for the main character in an animated series, while starring in a TV comedy, has kept Ariel very busy. “I always wanted to be a singer and then my voice changed when I was 11. “I started writing lyrics and screenplays when I was young and I’ve been taking a few vocal lessons,” Ariel says. But there haven’t been a lot of opportunities to sing until now. Currently, the San Diego native gets to show off her comedy skills playing Alex Dunphy on the ABC comedy Modern Family. No matter which princess shows up, you can count on a tune or two with Sofia.Īriel’s been acting since she was 6, appearing in commercials, movies such as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and the TV shows ER and Crossing Jordan. It wouldn’t be the proper vehicle for a Disney princess without a few musical numbers. It’s a royal secret as to which princesses will show up, but Ariel’s rooting for an appearance by her namesake. “There will also be a lot of the classic Disney princess because Sofia has an amulet, given to her by her stepfather, that gives her special powers like being able to talk to the animals or get help from other princesses when she’s in trouble,” Ariel says. She gets help from the usual cast of Disney characters: the stuffy steward Baileywick (voiced by Tim Gunn) a gaggle of cute woodland creatures and three familiar looking headmistresses at the Royal Prep Academy - Fauna, Flora and Merryweather, the trio who were a royal help for Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty.

That’s why I also wanted to be a princess when I was younger,” says the 14-year-old actress. “I was named after the Little Mermaid and she’s always been my favourite. Modern Family star Ariel Winter wanted to grow up to be “a doctor, Wonder Woman or a lot of other different things.” She would be lying like Pinocchio if she didn’t finally admit that she was born to be a Disney princess.
