O Clube das Winx

Despite what some people might say, this is a cute show! I just started watching it yesterday when it premiered on Cartoon Network, and I have to say that it is interesting! It might be a little predictable, but I think that if you like magic and fantasy, you could probably like this show. The characters consist of Bloom, the main character from Earth, and her friends Stella, Flora, Musa, and Tecna, who are her roommates at Alfea. They keep running into Icy, Darcy, and Stormy, who are senior witches from the Cloud Tower school for witches. Bloom and Brandon (a guy from Red Fountain) like each other, I think (I just started watching this show) and well, it sounds kind of cool! I'm 15 years old and it might be a little juvenile, but I think that this show will be a fun show for anyone to watch.

I've been addicted to Winx Club since I first saw it on Nickelodeon. Ok, I'm 28, but so what? It is SUCH a relief to have a girl-led show that has action and adventure instead of just cutesy fluff. You know those kinds of "girl" shows, where there are no stakes and everything's sunshiney and happy? Well, Winx Club is the opposite of that, guys. There are menacing villains, like Valtor and the Wizards of the Black Circle. There are a lot of Nick stars who do the voices, too: Liz Gillies (aka Jade on Victorious) does the voice of Bloom's sister Daphne, and Ariana Grande (aka Cat on Victorious) does the voice of Diaspro. One thing to know is that every season has its own story, so you should try to watch the episodes in order, to understand what's going on.

This TV show is about a girl named Bloom who finds out that she has powers 1 day. She goes to the woods where she finds Princess Stella of Solaria. Stella is battling an ogre who is trying to take her scepter. Bloom helps her out, and Stella returns the favor (that's what I say) by asking Bloom if she would want to come to Alfea College. Bloom agrees. She also meets Flora, Techna, and Musa. But then trouble starts, three witches from Cloud Tower want Bloom's power. Icy, Stormy, and Darcy attempt to make Bloom's life miserable. But things get even worse when they take her power.And her crush Brandon is a prince and is in engagement with another princess.

People say this is a cross between sailor moon and harry potter. Except this is better than sailor moon, because sailor moon and the gang are almost always obsessed w/boys. In Winx Club they like boys, but don't fuss much about boys...

I love this cartoon for its surprisingly good action. The more negative reviews here seem to be about the terribly mis-managed English localizations of the show. Apparently, the show was originally done in Italian until 2010, when Viacom/Nickelodeon started producing it. So for the earlier episodes (seasons 1-2), there are a few different, almost unprofessional-seeming dubs from random studios...and they censor/reduce all of the layered characters into the same dumb stereotypes. Yikes!

Avoid these 3rd-party dubs and watch either the Italian episodes or the newer Nickelodeon ones (both overseen by this show's creator, Iginio Straffi). It's a really fun watch and my favorite character is Timmy (Tecna's boyfriend).

This show right here was my jam...IS my jam!!! It is such an amazing show that has brought me so much happiness and joy during my childhood. I hope that those of you who watch this show enjoy it as much as I do.
