The animation quality also seemed to be lower than in previous episodes, with some scenes feeling rushed or lacking attention to detail. Overall, I was disappointed with this installment of Sofia the First and feel that it didn't live up to the standards set by previous episodes.
2. Sarah - 3/5 - While I enjoy watching "Sofia the First" with my children, "The Curse of Princess Ivy" fell short of my expectations. The storyline felt rushed and poorly executed, leaving me feeling unsatisfied with the conclusion. There were also several plot holes that left me confused and questioning the logic of the show. Additionally, I found some of the dialogue to be cheesy and lacking in substance. Despite these flaws, the animation was still visually appealing, and my children seemed to enjoy the episode.
