Spice choosing a song because Malaysia doesn't know the words and then realizing she herself doesn't know the words either is the most Spice thing I've seen. 🤣

I respect Winx Club for remaining grounded in a lot of its explorations, despite being a high fantasy show about magic.
A poor family losing a mom/wife because they couldn't afford medicine or treatment while living in a magical world is so simple yet so effective storytelling.
Shea: The queen I have chosen to eliminate was on season 2 and All Stars 1, is from Puerto Rico, has a daughter I just lip synced against and may or may more have campaigned against me.
The queen I have chosen to eliminate is India.

Simone Borselli was the art director since the first season and they had actual fashion designers working on the show to make all this happen.
Simone was unfortunately let go after the 7th season in favor of a new art direction and that's how we got this mess of a redesign. 😭
When you realize the original sacrifice that earned them Enchantix is referenced in the 3D sequence.
Even Bloom still gets a moment.
When I say the CGI Enchantix sequence from Winx Club is one of the greatest things in magical girl transformation history, I mean it.
The way the only time Flora's really been brown in animation was in her original iteration.
Everywhere else she's either very fair or just straight up caucasian.
Ig*nio still hasn't answered for all his crimes.
When you realize Bloom's Enchantix dress isn't really a dress, but a skin tight, deep V neck, low cut bodysuit romper with a double layered skirt over it, and essentially a short and extended under-cape, à la Elsa.
When we say DESIGNERS worked on Winx Club, we mean it.
The Fairy Dust vials remain iconic and one of my favorite details of Enchantix.
The way they're drawn to be like simple necklaces when dormant but become the bottles when activated is such a nice (and convenient) touch.
And the 3D versions looking like charms, chef's kiss. 🤌🏿

The CGI Enchantix is an incredible accomplishment in terms of design, animation and artistry.
This is just to appreciate this top tier transformation.

To whomever had the foresight to change Tecna's Believix from a skirt to shorts, thank you.
Because this is still, to me, the best fairy form design the show has ever given us, and I just don't see it being that way if the outfit had a skirt. 💜💚
Tecna's 3D Enchantix was operating from another level.
The scan of the wings creating the wireframe, and then the shaded wings folder being called "wings for real" because it has a fully rendered scan of the wings?
Like, they got the "nerd" aspect down.
Iconic. 🌐
One thing about post modern Winx Club, the prototypes will always be superior.
They had the futuristic monochromatic space-age Jetsons-esque suit concept down for Cosmix, but they blinked and pivoted to some basic mixed-color sundresses with leggings.
Aisha's concept was godly.
Happy 19th Anniversary to the most underrated season of Winx Club.
A character-driven season that focused more on interpersonal relationships.
The season that introduced us to Aisha, the best written character of the franchise.
A fantastic yet often overlooked season.
Nabu's style and face card were so lethal, that they never introduced another Indian-coded character in a significant role after he perished.
Literally the only male character who can go toe-to-toe with the girlies in a mug-off and a fashion battle.

Another detail about 3D Enchantix that I love is how the whole look changes based on the lighting and mood.
It's not just "more light so it looks flatter and less light so it sparkles more".
Instead, it's like the actual fabric and materials magically react to the environment.

This is easily in top 5 Winx Club battles.
Dynamic angles, awesome fight choreography, great sound design, creative use of spells on both sides, the music being foreboding when the Trix are winning, then smoothly transitioning to heroic when the Winx get the upper hand, hello?!!

I really like Winx Club's take on 'animals' as a power source.
Roxy gets a lot of flack, but I personally really enjoy her powerset, especially in season 4 & WoW.
My favorite is when she invokes an animal's essence and it materializes in energy form.
Similar to Selina's snakes.
Know what I want to see in the Winx reboot?
The diversity in the alien races again.
The universe has so many humanoid species beyond the "fantasy" types, it's a shame they were mostly background, and then basically lost any prominence.
Make one a reoccurring character, cowards.
