Bloom and
her friends are WinX, magical princess guardian fairies of the magical
dimension. Now that Bloom has inherited
her heritage as a magical princess, her happiness is short lived when she
discovers she can not go to the Princess Ball with Prince Sky. Meanwhile, the Ancestral Witches use the Trix
to destroy the Tree of Life to destroy all the positive magic from the magical
dimension. It is up to the Bloom,
Stella, Flora, Tecna, Muse and Aisha to save the magical realm and reunites
Bloom with Sky on Nickelodeon’s WinX
Club: Magical Adventure.
This is a
magical story for all young girls who dream of being princesses; hip teen idols
that can turn into magical girls/fairies, as long as they 'believix' themselves
and each other nothing can stop them. They
battle the Trix, 3 evil witches who try and constantly to take over the
universe. The WinX are constantly backed
up by their space faring techno boyfriends (who are also happen to be various
princes, each with of their own planet). In order to find more powerful magic to fight
evil, Bloom and the WinX must find their hidden powers to transform into more
powerful fairies.
Created
originally by Italian cartoonists, WinX was bought and license by the American
company, Nickelodeon. It is like a mix
of Barbie and a Western version of Sailor
Moon, appealing to the young modern girl's dreams of princesses, guardian
fairies, pop idols who can transform into magical girls across multiple
dimension, which allows anything to happen but also makes evil bad guys become
a new threat to the universe in each episode. It is a visual eye candy, but has a weak and
predictable same plot for each episode.
At least the picture and sound are top rate, but extras are weak.
