A 7 Year Old's Review of 7D

My son Andrew wanted to give you a review of his new favorite show on Disney Jr. and Disney XD. The 7D!  These are his own words, typed by me because a 7 year old types REALLY slow
-Maria

The show is about the 7D's who work in a mine.  A "D" is a dwarf who lives in a dwarf kingdom works for the dwarf queen. The "D's" are:

• Doc-He is like the main "D" and he is good at making inventions for the queen.  Because they mostly work for the queen.
• Grumpy-He may not look that grumpy, but if you listen to his voice he does sound really grumpy.  Plus some of his actions are grumpy.
• Dopey-He can not speak, but he whistles and Doc translates for the rest of the "D".
• Sleepy-He likes to sleep day and night and when he speaks he falls asleep.  He grabs for jewels in the mine than when he is awake. 
• Bashful-He likes to hide and whenever someone tries to take off his hat he runs to find something to cover up his head.
• Happy-He likes to sing songs and whenever he sings songs the animals come.
• Sneezy-He sneezes a lot and during the Fall his sneezes blow the leaves away like a leaf blower.

The show is about the witches who are called "Glooms" always trying to make spells so they can become the queen of Jollywood (the name of the kingdom).  The 7D's try to stop them.  It can be mostly funny and about 2% scary.  My favorite episode is called the 8th "D" and it's about Dopey bringing critters home.  Doc says "no more critters" but the ones that are there can stay, but no new ones.  Then Dopey goes out to the woods and he hears a baby elephant crying because there was a porcupine on his foot.  The elephant followed Dopey home and when he got home the elephant went in the house with him.  Then when he saw Doc. running by (without his glasses) he quickly dressed the elephant like a lampshade.  Doc couldn't see very well so he thought it was a lamp.  Dopey took the elephant upstairs to his room and dressed him in "D" clothes.  Grumpy came up and he said "it smells like a circus in here".  Dopey whistled that "this is my new friend prmfffhhh" (insert elephant noise here).  All the "D's" found out he was an elephant so he to go.

There's a New Princess in Town!

A new princess will soon be joining the Disney Junior lineup! Earlier this week Disney executives introduced Elena of Avalor, "an enchanted fairytale princess inspired by diverse Latin cultures and folklore."

Young fans of Sophia the First will first be introduced to Elena, whose story is connected to the magical amulet Sophia wears, in an episode set to air sometime in 2016. This special episode will then usher in Elena's new series, created to fit in with the Disney Junior lineup.

Elena, who is described as confident, bold, caring, clever, and funny, will be voiced by Aimee Carrero of ABC Family's Young and Hungry. We'll be watching; will you?
