User:Mr. Dready/sandbox/Winx Club (season 1-4)

Winx Club is an Italian Magical Girl animated series, produced by Rainbow and created by Iginio Straffi.

It would later spawn 3 spin-offs: Pop Pixie, World of Winx and a live action adaptation Fate: The Winx Saga.

This page will only focus on the first four seasons.

Why it Rocks

 * 1) The animation is great, especially in the 2nd-4th season.
 * 2) Most of the characters are likable like: Bloom, Stella and Flora.
 * 3) The transformation scenes are well done.
 * 4) The show has a great atmosphere, with it's incredible world building.
 * 5) The theme song Both the original and the 4Kids dubs ones are well done.
 * 6) The voice acting in all the original Italian and it's dubs are great.
 * 7) The villains are great like the Trix and Knut.
 * 8) TBA

Bad Qualities
Note: Do not add the fact that the show is similiar to Sailor Moon and Harry Potter, as the creator insisted both we're inspirations for the franchise.
 * 1) It uses typical Magical Girl cliches.
 * 2) While the animation is great, Season 1 has some really noticable animation errors, thankfully this isn't as common in the later seasons.
 * 3) It unfourtanetly went completely downhill after the 4th seasons, with the 5th season being mediocore while the final 3 seasons being terrible.
 * 4) * Not only that but due to budget cuts, the animation looks cheaper, this is worse in the final season, and the re-designs of the Winx make them look younger than before, and the specalists now look like girls than boys.
 * 5) TBA

Reception
The show was well received during it's first 4 seasons. It is also to this day the most popular magical girl franchise along with Sailor Moon.

Trivia

 * The first 3 seasons we're originally dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment however because they're licensing rights expired after the third season, they couldn't continue on, however after Rai got the licensing rights, they decided to dub the first 3 seasons as well rather than just continuing from the 4th seasons.
