    A representative from Nickelodeon has informed me that someone has been using their own email address with the name "Unicorn of War" to send death threats to Nick employees over the Winx Club franchise.
    Do I even need to say do not do this?
    I'll say it anyway.
    DON'T. DO. THIS.
    I'm giving this person an ultimatum to stop and terminate their email or having them reported. I wanna make it clear that while I may hyperbolize about the franchise's history, animosity towards Nick as a company and ESPECIALLY its employees, is unacceptable and reprehensible.

    I feel we shouldn’t feel ashamed of liking this series. Sure there are better shows but we were little girls watching badass cool friends kicking villains in the butt... And it’s a kids show. I know the stereotype of pinky magic kinda makes us feel embarrassed. But it’s still a quite good children’s show who had basic good values, silly laughs and we had fun ❤️ it doesn’t have to be super deep or dark to make us prouder of it. Love this as a series, can’t wait to watch more!
    My thing was W.I.T.C.H, definitely but Winx concept was pretty cool, and I really liked the red head’s backstory ^^ I forgot her name, Bloom? Haha

    The voice actresses were so professional, for a few seconds I thought this was a clip from an actual dub production. I certainly wouldn't know, I never watched anything past season 3, or anything made with CG. Sure, the voices weren't what I remembered, but I know that the production has always been a mess with that.

    Winx club and W.I.T.C.H. both were some of the shows that I remember being a staple in my growing years. They sit along side other shows like Courage the Cowardly Dog, Scooby doo, and Code Lyoko. While some taught me a thing or two, others helped me figure myself out. Winx Club and W.I.T.C.H. not only got me into foreign shows as a kid, but also helped me figure out that I was a suuuuper big lesbian.

Because only a few years later I caught a glimpse of the original dubbing, (but I didn't know it at the time) and actually enjoyed it. The girls had believable personality & a well structured story. I re-watch sometimes even as an adult.

    Hi from Russia! Winx Club was HUGE there when I was a kid. I remember how, before getting an internet connection (around 2009...ish...), I used to sit close to TV with my phone ready, so I could record songs in the show. Sometimes I would specifically hunt re-runs so I could catch a part of an in-episode song that I missed.

    I really, really appreciate the work you put into this series. Finding fact about The Winx Club is not an easy thing, and I can tell not only how researched this is but how much you care about this show.
    I remember s1-3 for having dialogues and clashes amongst the girls and their different personalities, as the Trix being evil but still “human” and “flawed”, for the powers to be less generic than energy balls, and for Bloom not always being the perfect leader.
    I would say while S6 is weak, I appreciate Bloomix as the last well animated transformation sequence. Cosmix is well animated but short and lacks individuality per girl. Anything in between feels generic and too reliant on Flash.
    I hope you continue doing this series. Thank you so much again.

      Italian version:
      Bloom: what could have caused all of this?
      Stella (Darcy in disguise): hem-hem. you would do better by asking *who* did all of this.
      Bloom: Stella, it was you? why?
      there are plenty of examples like this. but the absolute worst translation line that i ever heard is from the 2nd movie when the girls get thir powers back. it goes like this:
      Italian:
      Stella: you know what, Trix? i feel much better!
      All Winx: We all feel much better!
      -Believiiix ... na na na
      English:
      Stella: getting our powers back? almost better than shopping! (puke)
      All Winx: We're back and we're better than ever!
      -Believix ... na na na

Also in line for tickets and some attractions there were ( I don't know if even now) some television that showed the episodes.

    As an Italian girl, I can provide some fun facts.
    1. Prezzemolo actually means 'Parsley' (I guess that's the reason why the dragon is green). And it's the mascot of a famous Italian Theme Park!
    2. Winx originally aired on Rai 2 ALONE, since at the time there were no kids theme channels. Since Rai 2 is the state television channel and the second channel to ever be created, it was a huge deal. Basically, any kid knew Winx and their airing dates.
    3. Even though I LOVE Elisa's voice, she is not that famous at all in Italy! There is an Italian singer, called Cristina d'Avena, who started their career in a freaking kids' song show. And no, I don't mean a talent show. The kids were really bad singers and originally the songs themselves were the actual contestants. Anyway, she was the voice behind the opening songs of basically any iconic cartoon show that has ever arrived on Italian television.
    Besides that, I am really sorry to hear the American dub changed so much from the original script. They worked really hard not the make the characters too stereotypical (especially Tecna) in the first seasons.

    • @user-ds7ji7mh4z

As someone who went hunting for dubs for a while before giving up and deciding that it was never completed, I appreciate that you took the time to put everything from the vocal buffet all on one plate for us. It was such a weird combination of Barbie, Disney Princess, and I don't know Dora the Explorer? That I was always paying some attention when I saw bits and pieces of it.

    Oh man, Winx Club. If I'm right, the Dutch Dub was based on the Italian version (or at least, according to Wikipedia and I remember seeing the RAI logo in the intros and having the same song, but in dutch). It used to be quite the guilty pleasure (especially since you'd get shamed for it watching it as a male viewer), but I rather liked the show. I did kinda stop watching after Season 3, cause I believe it did take some time for more seasons to air and I just sorta stopped following the series. One of my friends is still into the show and I do see bits of the newer stuff here and there. I'm pretty interested in this series, though. It is part of my childhood and the interest for the series never really faded (even if that interest is very far in the back of my mind).
