''Elena of Avalor'' is a 2016 CGI animated SequelSeries to WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst. In the faraway kingdom of Avalor, a witch named Shuriki got rid of the royal family and took over as queen. Elena's grandparents and younger sister, Isabel, were protected from this magic by being put into a magical painting, while Elena herself entered her magical amulet. 41 years passed before Elena was freed, and she managed to reclaim her kingdom. Though eager to take the throne herself, she's still young enough that she needs some guidance from her royal council: her grandparents, her cousin and chancellor Esteban, and her new friend, Naomi.
