* AuthorsSavingThrow: Many fans complained about Gabe's seeming uselessness in situations and him losing a lot of battles. "The Princess Knight" established him as a master strategist and tactician and ended up being an effective mentor to Elena, even spilling strategies that could help her win individual battles.

* EvenBetterSequel: To ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst''. While that show focused mainly on the protagonist learning the alleged qualities of a princess and was heavily tied to other Disney properties, ''Elena of Avalor'' is more original with its Hispanic-themed setting and characters, and is focused more on the protagonist learning true leadership and political skills needed to rule a country. The subject matter and adventures undertaken by the characters is also allowed to be more mature, and occasionally DarkerAndEdgier, than ''Sofia the First''.

* {{Heartwarming}}: From the movie:
** The whole kingdom remembers Elena and immediately rallies to her side when they find out she's back.
** Elena giving Sofia a big hug when she's finally set free from the amulet, saying she knew Sofia would be the one to break the spell.
** Elena finally being reunited with her remaining family after 41 years.

Subverted in "A Day to Remember", which deals with Elena and Isabel mourning their parents. Elena sees living her life according to their principles as upholding their legacy and pours her heart into the celebrations, while Isabel misses them and has trouble going to the graveyard until Elena comforts her.
* NightmareFuel: Elena was trapped inside the Amulet of Avalor after saving her grandparents and younger sister from the sorceress Shuriki. It puts a very dark light on Ivy wanting to melt and ''destroy'' the amulet in ''Sofia the First''...

Darker and Edgier isn't YMMV


* DarkerAndEdgier: In a more "RealityEnsues" manner than straight-up darkness: compared to WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst, Elena of Avalor is more about actually ''ruling'' a fairytale kingdom, rather than having adventures and tea parties. Considering the ages of both Elena and Sofia, it does make sense since Sofia's storytelling is a little more idealistic while Elena's storytelling is a little more mature, hence the realism.
