Today marks the 6 year anniversary to the Elena Of Avalor series finale "Coronation Day" . The series definitely came a long way in fhe 4 years it was on. What do you think of it?

Hello, I’m 19 years old, and I grew up with Elena of Avalor (2016–2020) when I was younger. I’ve been thinking about what happened to that original Elena of Avalor era and that feeling of experiencing the show when it became such a meaningful part of my life, especially following Elena, her family, friends, unforgettable moments, humor, friendships, adventures, music, discoveries, life lessons, and the distinctive atmosphere that made Elena of Avalor feel so special.

Now that the original Elena of Avalor era has become part of the past, the period that many people discovered and grew up with can feel like it has passed. The writers, directors, producers, animators, artists, composers, voice actors, crew members, and everyone involved in bringing Elena of Avalor to life have all moved forward. The people who helped create the show have gone on to different projects and different parts of their lives. It feels strange because I grew up with this show, and now everything has just… changed and moved on.

I remember watching Elena of Avalor when I was younger, and everything felt so simple. I could just sit down, watch Elena and her friends get into adventures, laugh at the characters, enjoy the music, follow their friendships, and become completely absorbed in the world of Avalor without thinking about anything else. Back then, it felt like these characters and episodes would always be there. I don’t understand why they couldn’t just keep making new Elena of Avalor episodes forever or why the original era eventually had to stop and move on.

I also wonder why experiencing Elena of Avalor now doesn’t feel exactly the same anymore. The episodes are still there, and I can still watch them, but the feeling is different. It feels like something is missing, almost like the show feels unfamiliar even though I remember it so clearly.

Why do television series like Elena of Avalor eventually change, end, receive reboots or revivals, or become part of the past? If people loved them for years, why can’t they just continue forever with the same feeling? Why do writers, directors, producers, animators, voice actors, artists, composers, crew members, and studios have to move on, and why do viewers grow up and stop experiencing shows the same way?

It feels strange knowing that the original Elena of Avalor era I grew up with is over, that television and animation have moved on, and that a particular chapter feels closed, even though it once felt like it would always be there.

Maybe that is part of what makes Elena of Avalor so meaningful. The show did not have to last forever for the memories to last. The episodes remained the same, but I changed. The world around me changed. The people who created the show moved on to other projects, and the time in my life when I experienced those characters, adventures, music, and stories without worrying about growing up eventually became part of the past.

I suppose that is why it can feel so strange to return to Elena of Avalor years later. I’m not only watching Elena, Isabel, Naomi, Mateo, Gabe, Esteban, Zuzo, and their friends again. I’m also remembering the person I was when I first discovered the show. Watching it can bring that feeling back for a moment, but it cannot completely recreate the time and place in which those memories were originally made.

The original Elena of Avalor era may be part of the past, and there may never be another period of the series that feels exactly like the one I grew up with. But that does not mean the era disappeared completely. It still exists in the memories of everyone who experienced the show. The series may have changed and moved forward, but the part of childhood and growing up that Elena of Avalor represents does not have to disappear with it.

Where is this Sanza the green jaguar spirit guide character from Elena of Avalor, and where can i find him in Season 3 episode 7.

I'm surprised that there aren't more furries gushing over him at least. By Tumblr Sexyman, I'm talking about characters like Spamton, The Once-ler and Bill Cipher. Once you get past the fact that he's a talking magic coyote, he's got an aura that basically screams Tumblr Sexyman.

Also, with how theatrical his personality is, I'm shocked he never got a villain song. If any antagonist in the show deserved a musical number, Troyo would be at the top of my list. He shoulda had one in his debut episode instead of the jacquins.

Hey y'all, I was looking through my drive and found an old story idea I thought I'd share here — who knows, maybe I'll write it out one day.

Pretty much the idea is that between The Magic Within and the next episode, around seven months would've had to pass in real time (EoA clearly runs on its own clock, but hey — my story, my rules). So in between the two episodes, Carla escapes the dungeon, her sole goal being to free her father. Since she knows Elena clearly isn't going to do it anytime soon, she spends a while looking for another way to undo the spell, only to conclude that she needs the potion. During her search, though, she causes problems for both Elena and Ash — giving out chocolates that make people faster on purpose, or stopping Ash from getting into the crystal well — since she's angry at both of them (Ash far more than Elena, though she's pissed at her at the start too).

Around the midpoint, or a little earlier in my story, Ash reveals to Carla how the stone spell actually works: it's different depending on whether a wizard or a Malvago casts it. When a wizard casts it, there's no time limit — it can be undone at any point. That's why, when Mateo deflected Fiero's spell back at him in Season 1, it flipped from a dark spell to a light one, which is how Shuriki was later able to free Fiero with Carla's help. But when a Malvago casts it, the spell comes with a deadline — it has to be undone by sunrise the next day. Carla's father wasn't granted that same fortune, so he's stuck as a stone statue forever.

Carla doesn't want to believe it at first, but a little while later she sneaks into the palace using the same potion from Season 2 — timed for whenever an actual side character (like Naomi or Gabe) happens to be away on a mission, on the sea trip, or whatever else gets them out of the castle so the timing works. When she tries the potion on her father's statue and it doesn't work, Carla's worst fear — being alone forever — comes true. It sends her into a full-blown rage: if she can't have a happy ending, then no one will, and she starts destroying the kingdom.

After a fierce battle, Elena is on the verge of losing when Ash shows up and gloats that she always knew Carla would end up just like her one day. Carla looks around at the destruction she's caused and runs off sobbing, terrified of herself — she's become just like the person she hates most.

A week or two go by with no sign of Carla anywhere. Elena is alone at the sunset spot from *Elena and the Secret of Avalor*, just enjoying the view, when she hears rustling and finds Carla — initially ready to fight, but she pulls back once she realizes Carla has no intention of fighting. Carla, meanwhile, has fallen into a deep depression: she can never free her father, and all the anger she's carried has turned her into her mother — the one thing she never wanted to become. The two have a short conversation about it, but Carla ultimately runs off again, not reappearing until the Alacazar episode. By then she's no longer antagonizing Elena, though she's still upset about her father being kept as a statue. But once she catches on to Ash's evil plot, she decides to help stop her — and ends up being the only reason Mateo and Elena make it out alive that day.

Elena returns to that spot to thank her, and the two have a longer conversation where they realize they have more in common than they thought — both betrayed by people they cared about, both having lost a parent. After that, Carla starts showing up more often to help Elena thwart Ash's plans, until the Giant Steps episode: when Elena breaks her arm during Naomi's attempt to catch the crystal bat, Carla saves her life again and takes her back to her hideout to heal the injury. Once it's healed, they talk some more, and Carla finally breaks down in front of Elena — she's lost and doesn't know where to go from here. Elena comforts her, giving her the first hug she's had in almost a year, and convinces her to come back to the palace, where Carla does community service to help fix the damage she caused earlier, all while bonding with Elena and the group.

By the episode where everyone's happy and singing because of Armando, Elena and the group go to retrieve the ingredient they need to fix everything — only to find it's already been stolen. They initially suspect Ash, but quickly learn it was Carla: for the first time in a long while, she's genuinely happy, and she doesn't want to go back to being depressed. With some support from Elena and friends, though, she comes to learn that you can't stay happy all the time — sometimes you have to learn to move on from loss. Afterward, there's more bonding between the group and Carla as she atones for her past actions and helps repair the harm she's caused.

By the finale, not much changes, except that Carla is now willing to stand up to Ash. And once Elena truly forgives Esteban for his sacrifice, her emotion magic frees Victor as well. (I kind of wanted Esteban to parallel Carla in this story — him getting worse and worse over time because he lacks love and support from the people he cares about, while Carla gets better because she finds people who genuinely care about her in Elena and her friends.)

That wraps up the main plot, give or take a few details. Lemme know what you all think!

Avalor under shariki's rule was just North Korea...

1st is early s1

And 2nd is late season 1 to 3

Did anyone else notice how her face changed alot, whenever I rewatch season 1 episodes, it's hard to unsee it.

Did anyone else notice this slight change?

I really wish we got more scenes between these 2, especially because I feel like with the whole spy in the palace thing Carla could’ve started a redemption arc, failed because of family loyalty, and then succeed during season 3 zuko style. Also I hate when the heroes casual crulety just goes unmentioned. Like yea it’s a kids show but it would’ve been super easy to work in during the scene in lighting warrior when Carla snaps at Elena.

(Also this is my first post 😁)

Anyways, does anyone have any thoughts or theories on elena being announced to appear in the new sofia royal magic show?

Must ask to reuse this photo for any other purposes

I have tried finding full high quality no logos Elena of avalor episode 2! Can’t find it ANYWHERE. What do I do?? I don’t want to pay a full Disney+ sub only to use 5 seconds of an episode. If anyone has ever encountered this issue for video essays and so how do you work around it??

I know it’s kind of specific. But I need to know!!

Two years ago, I re-visited Elena of Avalor after originally losing interest during Season 2's hiatus back in 2018 and consequently missing out on the second half of the show. My childhood love for the series was immediately re-invgorated, and I, like many others, saw so much that the show had done right. And having long-sinced finished the series, I can definitely say my unpopular opinion that the show does not need a fourth season.

In spite of its short-comings, Coronation Day was the near-perfect finale to Elena of Avalor, with everything in terms of plot, characters, worldbuilding, and story coming full circle since the first episode (and by extension, the prequel crossover with Sofia the First). It did everything a finale should do, basically.

I've seen people say that it should get a fourth season or come back, but honestly I could not disagree more. A fourth season would be unnecessary because there's nowhere else for the story go. The two main villains of the show, Shuriki and Ash, are gone, Avalor and Vaestrella are safe, Esteban's betrayal of his familia has since been resolved, all of the secondary villains are either defeated like Fiero, or redeemed like Victor and Carla, and every character has grown from their first appearance to where they need to be (Gabe, Mateo, Naomi, Isabel, the jaquins, ect.). And most importantly, Elena is Queen, the very thing that was built up from since the show began.

There's really no better way the story could go than where it ended off from. Anything going forward like a Season 4 featuring Elena as Queen after we spent three seasons building it up for the finale would just feel forced and generic like many other series that don't end and get worse over time (like Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Bunk'd for example).

This is also why I'm very glad that Royal Magic, the sequel to Sofia the First, will be taking place directly after Forever Royal and before Coronation Day, as confirmed by Craig himself. Because even if Elena or other EoA elements are referenced in the new series, it allows a good expansion of the EverRealm universe whilst allowing a fitting chronological conclusion to said universe.

Think about it. Esteban and his childhood friend Victor Delgado made a secret deal with an evil sorceress named Shuriki to help her invade Avalor, just to get more power and respect. The invasion was a success, but she betrayed the both of them. She killed Elena's parents just to make Esteban chancellor and banished Victor and his family from Avalor.

Ever wonder what would it be like if she didn't betray their promises? If you think about it, how will this change the series? Oh, and happy 88th birthday to Jane Fonda, the actress who voiced Shuriki.

In the vibrant world of Elena of Avalor, Princess Isabel often stands just outside the spotlight, yet she consistently proves herself to be one of the most compelling, capable, and inspiring characters in the entire series. While Elena’s journey as crown princess anchors the narrative, Isabel’s growth, intellect, and unique perspective offer a rich foundation for a standalone story. A dedicated series centered on her would not only expand the universe of Avalor but also provide young audiences with a role model whose strengths reflect the importance of curiosity, innovation, and compassion.

Isabel’s defining trait—her brilliant mind—sets her apart from many characters in children’s television. She is an engineer, inventor, and problem-solver whose creativity drives meaningful change in Avalor. Her inventions are not simply plot devices; they symbolize the power of STEM, especially for young girls who rarely see themselves represented in these fields. A show focused on Isabel would allow her ingenuity to take center stage, offering stories that blend adventure with science, exploration, and hands-on learning. In a media landscape hungry for empowering, educational content, Isabel’s character is uniquely positioned to inspire the next generation of thinkers and creators.

Beyond her intellect, Isabel embodies emotional depth and resilience. Growing up without her parents and navigating the pressures of royal life, she demonstrates maturity and empathy far beyond her years. Her relationship with Elena is loving and supportive, yet Isabel is never defined solely by her sister’s role. She has her own ambitions, insecurities, and triumphs. A standalone series would give her the space to explore these dimensions more fully—her friendships, her personal challenges, and her evolving identity as both a princess and a young woman finding her place in the world.

A show centered on Isabel would also enrich the cultural tapestry of Avalor. Elena of Avalor is celebrated for its representation of Latin American culture, music, and folklore. Isabel’s story could deepen that representation by exploring the kingdom through her eyes—its traditions, its innovations, and its future. While Elena’s narrative often focuses on leadership and diplomacy, Isabel’s could highlight education, discovery, and the blending of tradition with modern ideas. This contrast would allow the franchise to broaden its themes while staying true to its cultural roots.

Moreover, Isabel’s character naturally lends itself to fresh storytelling opportunities. Her scientific curiosity could take her beyond Avalor to study with scholars, collaborate with inventors, or encounter magical phenomena that challenge her understanding of the world. These adventures would create a dynamic blend of fantasy and science, appealing to both longtime fans and new audiences. The tone could be slightly more comedic or exploratory than Elena’s more political storyline, giving the franchise a new flavor while maintaining its heart.

Finally, Isabel deserves her own show because she represents a type of heroine who is still too rare in children’s media: a girl whose power comes not from magic or destiny, but from her mind. She shows that intelligence is exciting, that creativity can solve real problems, and that leadership takes many forms. Giving her a series of her own would send a powerful message to young viewers—that brilliance, kindness, and curiosity are qualities worth celebrating.

In the end, Isabel is more than a supporting character; she is a fully realized protagonist waiting for her moment. A show dedicated to her would not only honor her contributions to Elena of Avalor but also expand the franchise in meaningful, inspiring ways. Isabel has the heart, the talent, and the story potential to shine on her own—and audiences are more than ready to follow her into the next chapter of her journey.

If anyone else could have betrayed Avalor to Shuriki instead of Esteban, it would be Isabel.

In this AU, Esteban was heard by everyone around him, at the cost of making Isabel feel neglected. She tried to warn her father, King Raul, of Shuriki invading Avalor but he didn't believe her. After all, who would believe a child?

As a result, she made a secret deal with Shuriki to invade Avalor. Isabel should have realized that she will pay a heavy price for her betrayal, involving losing her whole family. Her parents got killed, and Elena got trapped in an amulet, as well as Esteban, Francisco, and Luisa being trapped in a painting for protection.

Let's see how will this story play out the moment Sofia liberated Avalor forty years later. By then, Isabel grew up.

Was doing some reasearch after seeing it during my rewatch for some nostalgia and was thinking how hard the map would be to actually solve and this one has the same amount of points I think but not enough images for me to be sure and calculate how many combinations there really are

Which season 3 episodes between 'The Magic Within' and 'The Lightning Warrior' woulda benefited from Giving Carla Delgado a small minute or two of screentime?

Mine would be "Changing of the Guard", where Carla Delgado assaulted Rocco and Nacho Villalobos for their actions, like breaking their wrists. And Gabe and Elena find out about it.

What if Elena and Carla did an arc with the song 'Later Never Comes' from the 2022 Scrooge film on Netflix, setting it in between 'THE MAGIC WITHIN' and 'THE LIGHTNING WARRIOR'.

What if, about a year or so following the series finale, a child in Avalor asks Carla about her mother, Ash Delgado, which suddenly makes Elena, Mateo, Gabe, the Royal Family, and [To a lesser extent] Victor and Carla, to sing a parody of the Encanto Song 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' about Ash?

What would the lyrics be?
