Guthrie, 51, is the executive producer behind the show alongside Drew Barrymore.
The characters Penny Pineapple, Bea Blueberry, Rita Raspberry, and Kira Kiwi come from different fruit-inspired kingdoms and use girl power to achieve their goals.
They all embrace their differences and work to become stronger together, sending a message of strength to young viewers.
There are 14 episodes in the first season of the cartoon.
The cartoon premieres on Netflix today – January 30 – and Guthrie teased the launch in a social media post on Sunday.
She shared a throwback snap of her daughter Vale from when she was younger.
She said: “One more day! PRINCESS POWER debuting on Netflix.”
In the touching pic, Vale was seen wearing a jumper that read: “Princesses save the world.”

Another simply said: “I can’t wait.”
And, a third fan commented: “My daughter asked this morning ‘when can I watch this?’ Can’t wait.”
Viewers believe Guthrie’s show will appeal not just to little girls, but women and moms across America.

Stephanie Ruhle, the host of 11th Hour on MSNBC, said: “I cannot!!!!!!”
Guthrie revealed in September last year that her children’s picture books were being turned into a TV show.
The daytime TV host said: “Everybody’s worked so hard on it. It’s really cute. It’s called Princess Power now, but it’s the story of all the little girls from the various fruit kingdoms.
“It’s just about girls coming together to solve problems. It is so sweet.”
Guthrie raved over the animation, which she described as “beautiful.”
She and Oppenheim released the first book in the series in 2017 and the sequel “Princesses Save the World” hit the shelves the following year.
