My Thoughts:


Winx Club originally aired in Italy and when it became popular, Nickelodeon acquired the rights to localizing Winx Club across the United States.  And, from 2010 to the present day, Nickelodeon continues to air this popular series, which features Bloom and her five best friends.

The show takes place in both present day on Earth as well as in a magical universe with Bloom transforms into a fairy with magical powers.  Over the course of an episode Bloom and her fashion-loving fairy friends as they unlock mystical adventures and battle against darkness, along while shedding light on Bloom's mysterious past.

I first started watching this show when it began airing on Nickelodeon back in 2010 with my now 10 yr. old niece.  Once the show caught on, it developed a huge following of Winx Club fans of all ages.  And, in addition to the hit CGI animated series, there are also dolls and other consumer products available.  I know as my house is filled with Winx Club dolls. :-)

In addition to my two nieces loving this show, Savannah has started to get into in.  So, the release of the complete first season is great, as she can watch how this hit series began.

Last night after we watched a few episodes that make up this 4-DVD set, Savannah couldn't wait to dress up and dance around the house, as she pretended to be a  Winx Club fairy with magical powers.  It was cute to watch her playing dress up and using her imagination.

If you have young girls and are looking for a good show to introduce them, why not check out Winx Club, which airs on Nickelodeon daily. This is a great series about friendship, magic and fun adventures between a group of young girls, who are also fairies with magical powers.  Once you watch an episode in this animated series, you will see why it has become such a hit.
