I've been going over to Disney TVA's Yahoo location near the Bob Hope Airport, watching this series slowly develop:
... Disney will introduce a little girl princess to its celebrated legacy of princess fairytales in an animated television movie and series, "Sofia the First," premiering in fall 2012 and spring 2013 respectively, on Disney Channel and Disney Junior channels around the world. ...
They've had a mess of talent working on this puppy (Larry Leker and Linda Miller, among numerous others), and until today I kept being told "The Channel hasn't announced the project! Keep your mouth shut."
Good corporate shill that I am, I kept my mouth shut. But now the Channel has announced the Sofia, so I can talk about it. This half-hour has been in development some little while. Everyone was leaning forward in their chairs, waiting for higher ups to greenlight it to series. And now it's finally happened.

Oh, Steve. You were misinformed. This show was officially announced by Disney in March. They released a press release with all of their upcoming shows on the Disney Channels.

You're probably right.
I was told by crew that it hadn't been okayed for full series, people were waiting, waiting ...
Disney also announced the '7D' TV series. Can you talk about that? Fans were furious on the internetz over this series.
No offense Steve but I'm not "probably" right. I AM right. If you would bother copy-pasting the link I had posted you'd know.
In June, Disney Consumer Products also released a press release regarding the show:

I find it odd that the crew working on the series didn't know whether their project was announced or not.
You must be fun to live with.
Offense taken. Cool your jets anon. Steve's walk-through privileges give him access to information that is not supposed to leave the studios. He has to be careful about what he posts here. If he doesn't happen by a link "announcing" new series, give him some slack.
As for the crew, they were probably too busy working to notice it had been announced publicly.
OK, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be disrespectful.
How will it be animated? Flash (i.e. Fish Hooks) or hand-drawn (i.e. Kim Possible)? And will it or will it not be an interactive series?
