The undersea adventure, in which Sofia is magically transformed into a mermaid, features a special appearance by Princess Ariel from "The Little Mermaid," voiced by Disney Legend Jodi Benson who reprises her iconic role from the animated film. The special also introduces a new character named Oona, a young mermaid voiced by Kiernan Shipka ("Mad Men").

2013 to date, "Sofia the First" is cable TV's #1 series in Kids 2-5 and Girls 2-5, and the #1 preschool cable TV series in Total Viewers and Women 18-49. Its animated TV movie prequel, "Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess" remains the #1 cable TV telecast of all time in Kids 2-5 and Girls 2-5, and the #1 preschool cable TV telecast ever in Total Viewers and Women 18-49.

"Sofia the First: The Floating Palace" takes Sofia and her family on an extraordinary journey to Merriway Cove, where Sofia meets a young mermaid named Oona. After helping Oona untangle her fin from a net, Sofia's magical amulet transforms her into a mermaid too, allowing her to explore the underwater world with her new friend. During their adventure, Sofia learns that mermaids mistrust humans and are angry that her family's floating palace is in their cove. When Oona is captured by a horrible sea monster, Sofia - with a little help from Princess Ariel - must find a way to save her and create harmony between their two worlds.

On Friday, November 15, DisneyJunior.com/Sofia will launch "Sofia the First: Mermaid Princess," a game in which players help Sofia rescue Oona from the clutches of the sea monster. The site will also feature "Sofia's Royal Catch & Match," an online activity based on the classic card game "Go Fish."

Created for kids age 2-7 and their parents/caregivers, and starring the voices of Ariel Winter (ABC's "Modern Family"), Sara Ramirez (ABC's "Grey's Anatomy"), Wayne Brady ("Let's Make a Deal"), and Tim Gunn ("Project Runway"), "Sofia the First" follows the adventures of Princess Sofia, a young girl who is learning how to adjust to royal life after her mom marries the king. Along the way, she discovers that the inner character of kindness, generosity, loyalty, honesty and grace is what makes a real princess.

John Kavanaugh ("Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo") serves as songwriter/music director and Kevin Kliesch ("Tangled Ever After") is the composer.
