Winx Club Season 6 Info! Transformation, Plots and Villians!

iTunes released the Season 6 Episode online with this information: 

"Get ready for more magical adventures with the Winx Club in these 13 enchanted episodes from season 6! Join Bloom, Stella, Flora, Tecna, Aisha and Musa as they work together to earn their new Bloomix Power! When the evil Trix team up with a new witch, Selina, trouble begins brewing. Selina sends evil Treants to attack the Winx- stripping them of their powers! Will the Winx be able to defeat the Treants and earn their new Bloomix Power? The journey continues as the Winx battle mummies, evil dragons, vampires, spiritual creatures and more otherworldly enemies! At the same time, Selina is sending Sphinx and Fire Eaters to attack! Can the Winx put a stop to Selina and defeat the endless evil she is sending their way? Don’t miss this exciting season full of magic, friendship, courage and more!"

So the new transformation is in fact called, Bloomix. I am really annoyed they've done this because with this name they may as well title the show Bloom Club. Bloom is the focus of everything and now her name is the transformation name too...Not cool Rainbow and Nickelodeon! 

But aside from the name the other information looks great and gives some insight into this season. Make sure to check it out. Thanks for reading and make sure to share some comments on this.

Winx Club Season 6 Promotional Trailer!

I was not expecting them to be releasing this already, I would've thought they would at least wait a year. It is exciting never the less, and this season looks like it has an interesting plot, very different from the past. Can't wait for it!
Check it out, and share what you think about it in the comments!

Nickelodeon's Winx Club:Toy Fair Sizzle! HD!

This is the Sizzle below.
Looks like Nickelodeon has a lot planned for Winx Club coming up, it is about time we start getting some hype for the series again cause before it was loosing many fans interest with long hiatus without any promotion or acknowledgement.  
It also confirms we are finishing Season 5 this fall and getting Season 6 this fall which is cool because I am not sure the show could handle another long hiatus like before. 
 What do you all think of what is to come for Winx Club?

Winx Still Going Strong On 10th Anniversary!

Ischia, July 22 - Six teenage fairies who have won the hearts of girls around the globe - the Winx Club - were celebrated at the Ischia Global Fest film and music festival on Sunday. The businessman and cartoonist who invented the Winx fairies, Iginio Straffi, and his team at Rainbow S.r.l., were awarded for the animated heroines who are celebrating their 10th anniversary this year. The Winx Club is a group of fairies who study magic at a school in the world of Alfea. They dress like hip teenagers, tussle with adolescent-type problems and frequently save the world from the powers of evil. Still going strong after a decade in stores and on screens around the world, Straffi confessed that his dream was "to turn the Winx into new the Barbies, cult dolls beloved by many generations, familiar objects not only to the littlest, but also icons to collect". Rainbow has become Europe's largest television animation studio, generating retail sales of 3.5 billion euros, and ranking 11th in the world for licensing, with 356 licensees, Straffi said. The Winx Club is broadcast in 150 countries. Fifty million Winx dolls have been sold. But Straffi noted that the Winx have come to appeal to a younger market over the years. The Winx were once aimed at girls aged five to twelve, but fans now tend to be four to eight years old, after which girls now gravitate to real-life characters on television series, Straffi said. Straffi plans to win back older girls and young women using the 10th anniversary for nostalgia, relaunching vintage dolls as collectors' items. 
After two Winx movies, plus another in production, Straffi is conceiving a new film project with Winx fairies interpreted by real actors. "It will be done sooner or later," Straffi said. The cartoonist recalled how stoking the brand has been a constant - and not always successful - effort over the years. "In some countries the phenomenon has never waned, while in other territories (the Winx) have been gradually overtaken. "We've managed to renew these fairies with stories and themes that are always new or current, like ecology, respect for nature, or even nature mythology. "Adding to the renewal, there have also been ice shows, plus live and cinematic productions that have made the brand grow year after year," said Straffi. In 2010, the animated TV series inspired Italy's first-ever feature film using the 3D technology that helped make Avatar into the highest-grossing movie worldwide. The Winx Club is on its sixth television series on Italy's main public television station, RAI 1, but at least one key to the future, Straffi said, rests with handheld computers: "We are developing (products for) the interactive world and the Web, because even the smallest use the tablet".
