Winx Club: Magical Adventure



Nick Ruined My Fave Action Packed Winx Movie
Hey, my name is Marcus and I'm 19 now. Anyways, I grew up watching the Winx Club back in 2004 when I was in elementary. I fell in love with the show, because it reminded me a little of one of my old fave TV series, Sailor Moon. I was devastated after buying all the Winx DVDs and hearing in 2007 that The Fox Box/4kids TV lost the rights. Then I was excited when Nick obtain the rights. Thus, I am disappointed that they cut out the majority of this movie. The movie is on youtube, and it is originally an 1 hr & 29 mins. & 59 secs. but they made it only 45 mins. TF? -_- Why wait to down size the 2nd movie, but leave the 1st one alone?

P.S- The only reason I'm mainly buying this DVD is for the 7 episodes. -_-

At least the animation is still good...
As a fan of magical girls - or in this case, guardian fairy princesses -I was overjoyed to see that both of the Winx Club movies received US English releases. I loved what Nickelodeon did with the first film, and after seeing the second in the European-English dub and loving it, I hoped the good feelings would continue.

But then I saw the 45 minute running time on the first disc and all the good feelings were gone.

The movie isn't bad though - I honestly think that the major change to the plot still worked somehow, probably for the better. The original movie's plot actually has Sky [*not really a spoiler*] propose marriage to Bloom, not invite her to a Princess Ball [which would probably be something Bloom would prefer doing to Sky, given her personality], so it's a sudden huge step for our main couple right at the get-go of the movie; it's understandable that Nick probably changed this to relieve parents of the idea of their child's beloved show about love,...

even better than the first
This Winx Club movie is even better than the first. I'm glad that Nick took over the rights from 4 KIDS so that the later seasons became availible. This movie reveals the secret why Prince Sky's father always seem to have trouble with his relationship with Bloom in the TV series. Its great to see how much Bloom has grown and become less dependent on her parents thought it nice in this movie seeing Bloom's Earth parents together with her birth parents. The movie eals with Bloom's birth father being upset with Sky for not taking Bloom to the princess ball and his search for a better suitor for her. Bloom knows her heart lies with Sky and with the Winx help plans to get to the bottom of Sky's action when the Trix's newest attack causes The Winx to loose their powers and the girls join with The Specialists on a new quest.
