TWO THINGS:
1. Around 14:02, I listed this clip as from the 4Kids dub. It's actually from the Cinelume version of the episode titled "The Shadow Phoenix."
2. Around 18:40, the first clip is actually the unfinished 4Kids version, and the second is the finished Italian version.
NO ONE IS PERFECT KIDS REMEMBER TO SLEEP AND HYDRATE.
YAY!! I love your videos and have been waiting for this! They’re such good quality and I hope u have a good day! :)
tommie wind I agree 100%
In 6:43, you said Bloom was born with the flame. But I was pretty sure that Daphne gave the flame to Bloom, because originally the flame belongs to the firstborn?
@@messofabeing9392 It differs between versions of the cartoon, in the 4kids dub version, Bloom had the power within her from the start..that was why Daphne sent her to Earth to protect her....in the Cinelume dub, Daphne gave Bloom the Dragon Fire....the storylines differ between versions.....
Okay one thing, the fuck is Killmeix?
There's something hilarious about an ancient evil entity saying "ultimate power couple".
@hoolieish
You could say it's "punny..."
Ancient almost all powerful evil awakened after a deep slumber: how do you do fellow kids?
Nobody: loser
Ancient evil entity: *NOBODY CALLS ME A LOSER*
"Bloom's my main witch now." Big pimping energy.
Feel so weird when he say that... I can't help but cringe
When I was little I thought Aisha was the fairy of gum.
Because of the way morfix looks.
I-
AISHA, FAIRY OF GUM
Its_Gacha Crumble for real tho💀💀
When I was young, I absolutely did not understand Aisha’s powers at all. She was called The Fairy of Waves yet she rarely ever used waves or water based magic lmao
@@calicomarker actually she was the fairy of fluid based on the italian version, but when the english dub came out they don't think fluid is a good choice of word that kids could understand so they made her a fairy of waves instead cause her home planet is surrounded by water
One small detail that really made me appreciate 4Kids dub is the Miss Magix ep in season 1. In the original the Trix “sabotaged” a black contestants hair into an afro. And the contestant was upset at how “unruly” it looked and even other people made fun of her hair. But 4Kids made it into a voice issue not a hair issue. The contestant had a very high pitched voice rather than the supposedly “unflattering unruly” hair. So good job on them for being inclusive and not racist.
Omg I never noticed that ty 4kids💜
Yeah, but Musa still speaks in slang with an accent that is close to being a stereotype.
TeacupTempest That’s just the voice actress’ tone. Also I’m asian and the “slang” or “accent” doesn’t remotely sound stereotypically asian to me.
@@krystql8056 Agree. I think the slang was added because Musa is this cool tom boy who's into music. Not beacuse of her race
Yeah I totally agree
The 4kids Dub was kinda...weird, but you can’t deny how fire the theme song was.
Actually, as someone who grew up with the original Italian opening, yes I can
Both intros are fire 🔥🔥
I liked nick's more it was cute
Nick’s was kinda eh...
I barely remember it and I grew up with it.
@@rwnflk8233 the nick one is a translation of the Italian opening for the 4th season
One tiny detail you forgot to mention was how in the original, Bloom had no idea she was adopted which 4kids changed to her having always known, just not that she was found in a fire
@Will N I agree. I mean, she would have figured it out in the first episode anyways. Seriously, she found out that she is a fairy but her parents are not. So it made sense that she would know that she was adopted. But what parents would tell a kid that she was found in a fire.
@Will N most of the parents don't reveal to their kids they were adopted until they reach a certain age, when your parents tell you you're adopted it's a shook and you need to be ready.
@Will N just because you have witnessed similar case doesn't mean it's more fair, I acutally knew more people that weren't aware of being adopted, that depends from the approach of their parents. If the kids were adopted as babies, parents usually prefer not telling them they are adopted until they are ready.
Marcoxfenty lmao that’s a complete lie. i dont know about in your country but in my country parents definitely tell their kids they’re adopted tf, waiting to tell only comes as a traumatic shock rather than having grown up with it all your life. not telling your child they’re adopted should be against the law, its completely fucked up and robs the child of its right to its birth partents and story (and culture, country, etc). and yes, i am an adoptee. if my parents was to ”tell me” on my like 16th bday or whatever i’d cut them off. ffs crazy to keep romanticizing adoptees trauman of constantly having other people decide major things abt them and their lives as well as withholding information that is rightfully theirs. makes me sick
@@mwrihi How is it a lie when it's been known to happen? I'm sure there's plenty of people out there who don't know if they're adopted or not. And there's some who have found out by complete accident. There's no need to be hostile when Marco is telling the truth. We're not here to discuss if it's right to tell or not tell your kids if they're adopted. We're talking about how not everyone knows they're adopted.

I have a love hate relationship with 4Kids. It's more watchable and funnier if you consider it a parody of the original series :P
WILFORD CLUX it’s like a few steps away from an abridged series
@@CrystalArtest LITERALLY!
And I think that’s what it was 😂😂
Out of all tho I like the trip in the 4kids dub they’re voices had more of an attitude and edge and I’m sorry but the theme song is iconic
@@StormTheeOmega they were weird asf tbh in voices rai win in animation nick
i actually love the 4kidz dub of winx club. all of the voices are really unique and match their characters well. tecna’s british accent was a bit jarring but it helped set her apart from the other girls
4kids: Being smart means you're British XD
She didn’t really sound like a teenager tho. 🙃
As a British girl i loved British Tecna, although yeah she does sound very forced and posh lol. I do miss her tho :,)
@@IDK_Kat not an insult to me lmao. i never realised she had an accent till people pointed it out
Yeah I prefer it as well, the voice actors were the best. The RAI and Nick English dubs voice actors were not very good, their voices were so flat and only on one level, there was just no emotion. (Though the RAI starting in season 4 had better voice actors) I will admit, there were some things 4kids should have kept, like keeping Daphne as Bloom’s older sister instead of her just being her mentor. If they had kept somethings the same they might have been able to dub the movie.
"Ican'tbelieveit'snotbutterflixix" I shot Soda out of my nose That made me laugh so hard
It's actually Ican'tbelievixit'snotbutterflixix.
Time stamp please-
The ironic part about 4K!DS changing Valtor's name to Baltor was that kid me couldn't figure out if they were actually saying Baltor or Valtor. But I did always think his symbol was supposed to be a monster face and not a V.
WinterSnow 99 Someone found out that Baltor may be the original name.
Same, I always thought it was a monster face after rewatching the series Yesterday I finally saw it was a V
I wondered that too. I prefer to call him Valtor
I watched the 4kids dub growing up and it never even crossed by mind that they were saying baltor and not valtor, I never realised the V in the symbol either. He was always just valtor to me and his symbol was a cool looking thing 😂😂
I always thought that Valtor's symbol was a gas mask 😂😂😂
Can we just agree that Flora’s voice 4Kids S3 voice is hella good when she said “That was my sister!” like she sounded badass.
Let's not forget Season 1 episode 13. Where Bloom finds out about her being adopted.
The 4kids version made it more heartwarming compared to the other dubs.
yesss!!! that was great!!
ikrrrr
“Where’s that damn FOURTH piece of the Codex!”

I’m so glad that the Codex has four pieces so I can write that joke.

@@messofabeing9392 ikr
Ha ha shadow the hedgehog reference
The thing I remember the most about Darkar is actually not something that was in the show. 4Kids had these weird commercials of the characters talking about random shit over clips from the show, and in one of them the girls are talking about how lame Darkar is and one of them said something like "Poor guy! I bet he's so mean because he doesnt have a girlfriend!"
And Darkar said "HEY! I have a girlfriend, she's just REALLY FAR AWAY."
I don't know why but that stupid line makes me laugh even years later. XD Does anyone else remember that??
Enchantix will always be a gem, but who can ever forget Ican'tbelieveit'snotbutterflixix and bankruptix? Those two are my absolute favorite
@Zarela Patricia (don't forget the epic instrumental as well)
Everybody forgets about Musix and Tecnix And Stellix, Also Florix, Roxix and Aishix
@@rxbiluhvrp Stellix and Tecnix actually sound great imo-
4Kids has the best voices for the Trix, hands down!!! I was low key terrified of icy! Her voice actress was amazing
@@amandacorpuz6936 huh
Darcy was my favorite Trix voice.
I remember when I first watched S2. I could never take Darkar seriously cause he doesn’t just sound like any edgelord, he sounds like Edgy the Hedgy.

No one can withstand the power of the hair 3:32
Something I've always found annoying is, in season 1, the witches would call the Winx Club "pixies" as an an insult. When the pixies were introduced in season 2, however, the insult stopped.
I don’t even want to watch Season 8 just because of the way they draw it
Prvih 5 sezona Winxa je zapravo ok, ali ovo sve dalje je apsolutna katastrofa haha.
@@xhellystarx ja volim misliti da winx samo traj za prvih 4 sezona, ali sve dalje je 'a spin off' lol

13:50 *Oh god, no wonder Darkar sounds like Shadow the Hedgehog*
🤦🏻♀️
OH NO-
Damn it. I just realized that...
Ugh
Dammit! What does it all mean?
Okay so something was done right. At least one fucking thing! Still hate 4kids winx club though.
I LOVED the voice acting of 4kids. I loved how each girl really had their own voice that helped tell you who they are. I wish the other English dub kept there writing but with the 4kids vocies.
I binged winx on UA-cam when I was twelve and it’s now I realize how I watch some episode with the 4kids dub and some in the cinelum dub without ever realizing.
When I was about 11 or so, I recall watching this show on Nickelodeon, mainly in the 4kids dub but I must've seen one of the other dubs because I recall hearing both Layla/Aisha (and remembering the latter), Sparks/Domino (same case) and I remember me hearing and singing Enchantix lyrics.
Growing up I only remember watching seasons 1 and 2 on 4kids. It wasn't until the live action Netflix version was so gross that I had to go back and watch the cartoon. Now I have no clue what version I'm watching whats the orginal or whats going on.
Same!!
I actually like the 4kids explanation for the word "winx" better. It gives the basic fairy form a name, which it should have when you concider that every other transformation has one and its in line with all the other names afterwards ending with "ix". It honestly just makes alot more sense
THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!!!!!!!!
It gives less sense to the name of the club tho, it doesn't make sense to call it "Winx Club" if everyone is basically a Winx
@@MP_Guz Yes, then the name doesn't make sense...
Unless you compare it to something like "atoms club" and r something.
Well I mean by the end of season 1 it is adapted for their base form to be called Winx, but yeah like someone said it gives the club name less meaning
@Marcoxfenty It made sense to me because Winx is your inner or true self, and what guides you. I thought it summed up the club well. A group of girls who embrace their true inner selves, fight evil, and are guided by their hearts. It's more about what it means to them that made it special, a sort of code that they adopted as an identity.
I think that enchantix being the quote on quote 'final transformation', is referring to it being the last 'natural' transformation of the franchise, in comparison to sirenix which had to be gained through a quest and believix by actively trying to make humans believe in fairies. Which would explain it being called the 'final transformation'.
kathrine pedersen I agree but also originally in season 4, Believix was supposed to kinda be like Charmix in which like right after they use they go back to their Enchantix forms
@@cureprincess. I didn't know that, but that would explain a lot.
kathrine pedersen Yeah
I’m pretty sure it just means the final transformations for most fairies. Given that pretty much all the others are for a special use, it wouldn’t make sense for a generic fairy to use Cosmix
Good point, hadn't considered that.
Not gonna lie. The 4kids voice actors one liners were awesome, and ALL the songs were *BANGERS* . Feels like magic, Mean girls, We are the winx these are all iconic. I also love how every character had so much identity. The other dubs every character seems alike....
the 4Kids songs still randomly get stuck in my head to this day!! Totally agree
@@ThePrincessUmbrella one of the songs randomly came into my mind years after i thought of winx and now I'm going down the rabbit hole of winx
@@red-eyespundragon9920 totally valid!! the 4kids seasons are actually all on youtube and I did a rewatch earlier this year!
@@ThePrincessUmbrella I only remember up to season 3ish and seeing what has happened to it since was quite a shock lol
@@red-eyespundragon9920 yeah same here!! the first 3 seasons were all that 4Kids covered, the rest came later
I honestly can't watch any other dub but the 4Kids dub because the other dubs just make me cringe with the bland and indistinguishable voices. I mean, the characters all sound pretty interchangeable. The Winx and even the Trix sounded so overly girly. The 4Kids version gave them all individual sounding voices that suited their character and helped them stand out. When a character is speaking off-screen in the other dubs, I can't tell who it is that is talking. With 4Kids, I am able to tell right off the bat. 4Kids is the best dub due to that.
TheWickedMerman I 100% agree with you! I grew up with the 4kidz version so any other version just sounds strange to me
I grew up with RAI so I find Techna’s voice strange. But it’s true that they did a much better job when it comes to voice acting.
I couldn’t tell apart in other dubs in this dub it was easy
The only thing with 4kids, was that they reused the same voice actors for everything. Which isn't always bad, it's just when I watch the 4Kids dub I only can hear Sonic X characters.
@@kachoooow lmaoooo
I find the 4Kids one more entertaining and engaging. I don’t like the other version, the actors sound bored for 90% of the time.
I also like the fact that in 4kids the witches voices are more raspy and it sounds more authentic
SAME!
I love the 4Kids version! Yeah, the voices sound much better, they have personalities and you can tell what the characters are like, I love the 4Kids version!
Best version ever made
Yea the voice acting is better but the dialogue in the rai version is way better
In Germany everything is simple. We just had one dub and Aisha was always called Layla.
Same in Holland
Right? I was so happy as a kid that her name was Layla because it's so similar to mine
Thank you finally someone agreed she was always Layla never Aisha
@@dilaraharris2078 She was always Layla in Germany. Aisha was standard in Italy. SO that's her original name. However I don't think they should have changed it. In the German dub of World of Winx she was Aisha for 1 episode. Then they went back to Layla. THe poor children 🤣
in portuguese there was also only one dub but they did change her name halfway through without explanation and i never understood that as a kid. i was so confused learning that there are so many english dubs like wtf was going on back then
I will defend the 4kids dub until my fucking death
It’s cheesy and silly in so many parts but that’s what makes it so loveable. Also the voices were better than any of the Rai ones and the songs were absolute bops.
I’ve finally found someone who agrees with me!!
It also was way more mature than people gave it credit for.
This is how I feel about the DiC dub of Sailor Moon
Sorry but rai will always be superior
@@theoscarlessactress2748 it really isn't though, 4kids kept its darkness more than the video creator would like to admit and the voices actually sounded like they belonged to the girls.
I understand that 4kids changed a lot of stuff and was cheesy, but I prefer this version as I grew up with it and also the voice acting is amazing and gave each character their unique personality and charm. Other versions such as the Rai dub was too boring for me to watch as the voice acting felt too boring and bland, and felt that the voice actors didn’t give much effort to it. I couldn’t get past S1 with the cringy and boring voice acting.
Also the soundtrack 4Kids did was a solid 10/10
@Yu franky why 😭
Rai dub...
You mean the original italian version?
I hope not.
The original voices in the italian dub are definitively the best.
Italian voice actor generally put more effort than the ones in other countries, especially when dubbing anime.
I have no idea why, but I ain't complaining.
@@hermescarraro3393 with the “Rai dub” I mean the Cinelume Dub not the original Italian one.
@Chibi Wand Nick dub worst dub. They changed way too many things. Even a lot more then 4kids
FACTS!!
4Kids had best voices, Rai had best music. If only there was a version of Winx to combinde the two...
@Marisa Kimberly 4Kids had nice theme song and Enchatix transformation music
@@Megillena the Enchantix song lacks of an important thing that should be fundamental for a Winx Transformation songs: lyrics
@@MP_Guz That's why I called it music, not a song :v
@Will N because they still have no lyrics, which is fundamental for a Winx Club song
@Will N I meant transformations songs
I’m surprised that that you never mentioned that sick guitar riff that would play every time “Baltor” was on screen. 😂
it was so good tho but i couldn't find the original
I'm surprised you didn't talk about the Miss Magix afro scene. It was one of the more notable changes
And one of the best ones.
I saw 4Kids Darkar's draw and obsession with Bloom as having to do with the fact the Shadow Fire/Phoenix and the Great Dragon/Dragon Fire are kind of born of the same source at the beginning of the universe, and are inevitably drawn towards each other. The Shadow Phoenix is evil, but it also sees the Dragon as a peer.
Am i the only one see Bankruptix in the end of her transformation list ?
Hateix, Killmeix, Icantbelieveitsnotbutterflixix: *exists*
Me: visible confusion
Magic Winx! Killmeix!
*_O O F_*
pretty sure thomas' pronouns are he/him
yes, but they like to call it 'fate'.
Thank god I grew up with the German dub, which had the exact same storyline and dialogue as the Italian original. I never even knew you could "rewrite" the story with a different dub, so when I found out about the 4kids dub a few years ago, I was actually shocked that not everybody saw the same Winx as I did.
Literally me right now although I grew up with the 4Kids dub
Agree. It’’s appalling
Ah i grew up with the 4kids version and it will always have a special place in my heart. Im kind of sad they lost the rights and went bankrupt, it would have been cool to see a season 4 dub from 4kids. Bloom and Icy's voices are my favorite, but my fav is Icy's voice haha. I tried watching the original english dub but i cant get past the cringey voices of the characters. I dont know why i find it so hard to get past that but i guess it's becuase i grew up with this dub and cant imagine their voices sounding like something else haha. Plus i had no idea Sky's voice from 4kids was Dan Green. After hearing his voice recently I was like OMG that Yugi's voice haha.
TheNVTrashMan same here. I grew up with the 4kidz version too so any other one sounds super weird to me
I grew up with the RAI English version so the voices weren't cringey to me. It's just serious in tone and is faithful to the original (the script, they kept the music background, the opening and ending themes, which were iconic to me). They also didn't butchered any scenes there so I was able to understand the characters better (esp Riven dealing with his monster self at the prison...that wasn't in the 4Kids dub for some reason). When I watched this version however, it was just...hilarious and really Americanized I can't remember an episode where I didn't laugh even a bit.
honestly I do find that Valtor having the voice of Goku in the 4kids dub to be fucking hilarious
i grew up with the 4kids one too. the other dub, their voices sound too much alike.
i really wished 4kids voice actors were able to finish the show entirely. loved them so much.
*« Look ! It’s a bird ! No ! It’s a man ! No ! It’s lord Darkar ! »*
Ha! I remember that line
It’s hilarious
I can see why you would call Bloom's Enchantix bs, but I'm actually a fan of it. It makes sense after all. She can't make a sacrifice for someone of her home planet since Domino was destroyed years ago. The only one left would have been Daphne and, well, you can't make much of a sacrifice for a phantom. Also it added nice details and reasons for the first movie, giving her the chance to finally come into her full Enchantix powers without any problems or drawbacks.
Actually, giving her drawbacks and problems of control makes more sense considering that she forced her powers to activate/power up as compared to a natural progression.
Also it was said that the little pouch she got, was the essence of Pyros.
So by implication Faragonda send Bloom to bond with a Planet fitting for her powers so she could have her Enchantix. Hell the Pouch of Pyros LITTERALLY became her Fairydust Bottle.
Yes she kinda willed it by sheer force of anger, but aside from that she choose to protect a Planet by principle. And it was incomplete because it wasn't really her true Home - just a substitute.
I don't know why people never talk about that fact, when talking about Blooms Enchantix..
« Hatix » « Killmetix » « ican’tbelievixit’snotbutterflixix » and « Bankruptix » are my favorites transformations !
LOL i remember back then when Flora had a new voice in the German Dub everyone went crazy and beeing sad that there's a new voice. Meanwhile the English Dub is like:
Welp, hold my beer
Yeah I remember the uproars about Floras new voice too. Looking back at it it's so stupid because the new voice fitted perfectly to the old one, she just sounded more mature now. The fitting and voice direction was on point but we germans be craycray I guess
Why are so many Germans in this comment section tho
Flora's old Voice was so cute
Lord Darkar: Talk to the hand...
Ooh please, really? 🤦🏻♂️
In which dub, Italian or English dub??
@@agronhasimja9918 4Kids English dub. Rai version is way more mature with dialogs, specially from villains.
🤦🏻♀️
@@ARP_1922 Which episode tho??
@@agronhasimja9918 I don't remember, but I think in episode 1 of season 2.
Now I want to know about the speculation for changing Aisha's name.
If I were to make any assumptions, I think it was because the name Aisha was more of less trademarked by Neopets (since they had a pet called the Aisha), and 4kids probably heard about some rumors about Neopets being bought by Viacom in the future and wanting to avoid getting involved with Viacom over a dispute, just changed the name to Layla.
It would also explain why Aisha's name stayed the same in the Nick dubs, cause Viacom owns Nick and Neopets so there wouldn't be an issue regardless
The name Aisha is important in the Muslim religion, according to my googling. So, speculation back in the day was that her name was changed to Aisha to not hurt people watching the show that practice the Muslim religion, or that it was to erase that meaning all together.
I’m guessing it was changed because Layla is easier for kids to say.
4kids definitely gave the characters more personality then any other dub.
And I've watched both dubs and I dont remember rai being dark or anymore mature then the 4 kids. Yeah some of the dialogue is different but I feel 4kids still kept its serious parts. I mean 4kids made the nightmare episode more scary as the original had no dialogue and was very awkward.
4kids cut a lot of serious parts, like when Bloom found out she was adopted, the Sky and Brandon swap caused by terrorism and the parallelism between Flora & Miele and the willows
4Kids cut out the scene where Riven deals with his monster self created by Darcy and Stormy at the prison and instead made him look like an idiot talking to himself about how to confront Darcy.
i agree that the 4kids gave the characters more personality but i perfer the voices on the nickelodeon dub
@@Highkey.letiaa Me too.
I'm so excited to find out what this video has in store for us :)
Wait.. VALTOR'S MARK IS A LETTER V???
Where the f**k is the reference to "Stop misbehaving or we might have to spank you" from Bloom in S3
that I think was the best line in the 4kids dub.. It was something Nick never would have done.
4kids is like a parody but its also just an actual dub meant for many viewers and I enjoy it.
Regardless this was a good video discussing how it changed with 4kids dub! I enjoyed all 4 videos bout Winx Club so far and hope to see some new stuff later on.
it is in the original italian too (albeit not literal, "don't make me spank you") 4kids worked with rainbow on season 3 directly
@@saruarchive6285 Oh true but the fact that 4kids chose to keep that is gold
Whereas in the other two, it's a time out.
OMG, Musa's voice in the 4Kids dub is FIRE
And Icy's voice in the 4kids dub is ICE
I'm like 99% sure that they changed Aisha's name because it was thought to be too hard for little kids to say since many kids have a lisp or struggle with stop-gap vowels. Same with the change from Valtor to Baltor. Baltor is easier for kids to say. NOW that said that's not really a concern for kids over the age of like 8 so like..........what age group did 4KIDS THINK they were in?
Would you ever consider doing a video on How Winx club Could of been if Nick didn't interfere with it?
I third that lol
Probably a bit more mature, but not entirely. I mean, I used to hate a lot on the Nick dub (still do though, but not as hard), but Nick is made more into a monster than they were. They did not have complete creativity control over the series and nor over the dialogue. Yes, they had their own writers involved (who had previously worked on shows like Blue's Clues which gives you an idea as to why it became so childish), but Rainbow also contributed. And from what I heard, Rainbow was the one who had the idea to merge the two seasons into specials and their own animators worked on it, not Nick.
I theorize that Rainbow had already planned on aiming at a younger audience than what we were used to for the Winx because they were already working on WoW at that time, and WoW was actually aimed at the same age demographic that the original three seasons were. So I think it's a bit more safe to assume that Winx would have taken a similar turn had Nick not got involved. Or worse, it could have ended entirely. I mean, while the seasons were bad and Nick mistreated the series with the airtimes it was given, they did give it some exposure and brought new fans to the fandom.
@Queen Of Hidden Snow I don't know, Daphne was still a cursed and I liked season 6 a bit...........ya know what? You're right everything went down hill after season 4, despite the story progression that's what happened.
@@Erika-xm2mi I agree, because Nick had no control over season 7 and 8, and yet they're the most childish seasons, so maybe Rainbow did plan this from the start. 💜
@@BratzRockAngels Season 7's plot was good, executed badly though. Season 8 hasn't been that bad thus far, certainly much better than seasons 5-7. I think that a lot of fans also give season 8 a lot of slack because of the new style - had they kept the original character design and animation, maybe fans would have been more accepting of this season.
Speedix Zoomix and Tracix were more like upgrades to their wings. Not really transformations.
Charmix 2.0
Oh gurl, I speak French and Valtoe has always been Valtor and despite this I thought Valtor’s sign was a devilish face
When season 3 of the 4Kids dub ended I was like "ok time for season 4. Man it sure is taking a while" When it never came I was sad because I felt like I was missing out. I still wish 4kids dubbed season 4 and just ended it there.
If 4kids had done Season 4, I hope Nabu isn't killed off and the final fight is less anticlimactic
I think 4kids nailed the voice casting, and that's the main reason I've never been able to get into the original dub (they all kinda sound the same to me). I also grew up with 4kids, but maybe I'll give it another shot.
"Bring it on, broomstick!"
How did I not hear that line when I was three years old? I literally watched season 2 and never heard Musa say that.
Magical Girl TV 4Kids dub, 2x17, Exchange Students.
I've watched the 4kids version, it's been 11 years that I've been waiting for Nabu to wake up from his coma *sips fortified wine*
I grew up with the 4kids dub and it's still my favourite. I get that they changed parts of the story but it just felt like the authentic one for me. The voice acting was incredible from actors like Veronica Taylor, Rachel Lillis and Eric Stuart all from Pokemon as well. Also, Lisa Ortiz will ALWAYS be the perfect Icy imo! The personalities genuinely stood out in this dub and I loved them.
I used to watch winx club as a kid and I gotta say you do it justice, there were so many wacky nostalgia moments that came flooding back because of this, thanks for the video and i look forward to seeing your next one :)
I like both reasons for the winx name.
If i had my way I'd make it so some ancient fairy came up with the pun and over time other magic creatures named the first form after that.
It's so weird to see how different and... tame the 4kids version was. I grew up with a Dutch dub following the RAI-dub, so lots of different names, songs and lore confused me when I first played a Winx game for my DS.
I watched both the Cinelume and 4Kids dubs to see how it compares to the one I was used to, and 4Kids was super weird to watch. The only thing they changed in the dub I saw was the name Layla.
Musa was awesome in 4kids not gonna lie. Lisa Ortiz 4 life
British Tecna was one of my favorite things about the 4kids dub that I was so disappointed when I found out she didn’t have it in the other versions lol
1:38 The face you make after hearing the 4kids dub.
When I watched this scene as a kid, I always thought high school was just like kids go to "colleges" or "academies". And I too loved the voice actors.
My favourite character was Musa- even in season 1. Layla/Aisha was well written.
My sister and I watched season 3 and enjoyed the story
22:52 legit screamed when I heard the Italian song omg, so many childhood memories
BANKRUPTIX at 20:53 LITERALLY SENT ME TO MARS
I always get underwhelmed when i hear the "not Enchantix" song.
I've always loved the original Enchantix song, I get goosbumps when I hear it because i think it's so perfect and beautifull and fits perfectly with the transformation. I grew up on Norwegian Winx.
4Kids dub of Winx. Do you mean Winx Club Abridged? :v
Dude, it was just a joke
Omg your pfp WITCH was my favourite
I, uh, I think you mean Nickelodeon. Lol
🤔 looking back at it, I think I grew up on the Rai version. Yup 4kids sounds foreign to me.
I personally love darkar. I think him just being plain scary would be just kinda boring as thats all too common. I was still kinda scared of him as a kid because his actions are so horrible and he looks scary still.
The OG Enchantix song is amazing. I might watch season 3 for the 43566th time
Winx club, ojamajo doremi, Tokyo mew New, it's sad to see shows that could have been remembered fondly not get a proper redub (a quality dub in terms of writing, no cutting of scenes, and with the tone and context of the show similar to the original, or better)
wafflepancake 666 I mean, maybe we shouldn’t make underage girls be naked.
I got Rai English in South Africa sooooo........I grew up the RIGHT way
We did love
Isn't annoying how everyone always seems to ignore South Africa with this show?
@@bunnywar I know right? And we got the Cinelume dub in the year that it was released, 2005.
@@Scion141 Yes and yet the videos that cover it all seem to act like that never happened.
Good, i grew up with Nick but I got the first two seasons on Netflix (with Nick smushed together together into 4 specials, so it was very a good coincidence
About that relationship thingy with Bloom and Darkar, in the German version he literally called her his wife. I remember my six year old self being like... What now?
4kids dub will always be special to me. I first saw it when cartoon network aired it on the meguzi block. I did find out about the changes made when just looking stuff up around the same time the nick dub was about to come out. Couple years ago I did sit down and watch seasons 1-3 in rai english though and did like it,both dubs have a special charm to them.
NinjaGirlSakura1 omg, someone actually remembers the Meguzi Block?!
@@CrystalArtest Yep I remember,watched code lyoko and totally spies on there too
NinjaGirlSakura1 the good sh@t!!!!
Hatix, Killmeix, Ican'tbelievixit'snotbutterflixix, Bankruptix
A++ transformation names
those names made my day
Please make more winx club videos because season 8 has ALOT TO TALK ABOUT
There are 8 seasons???!!
The 4kids mean girls rule and the theme song were both amazing 🔥
I loved those songs
I had so much fun watching this. I love your Winx Club vids.
The voice acting for the 4kids dub is iconic- I will never forget Icy’s voice in particular
Personally, I grow up with the French dub which is from the original Italian dub... and also with the Winx Club video games made by Konami! And when I was young, I noticed that the storyline are kind of different in the video games but I liked it because it was add something new to the Winx universe. Then I discover that first video games are made from the 4Kids version. I was surprised to discover that they changed so many things.
But I really like the 4Kids version because of the dialogues which are... (I don't know which word use)... more dynamic and clash(?). And some changes made the show is more fun. Oh, and the OST is really cool! The only thing that I never aproved is the fact they made of Musa a princess!
The way you explained that 4Kids changed so much of the Rai version which resulted into them cutting the episode down to 16 minutes, instantly made me realize the purpose of the winx club sing along songs WHICH I LOVED. Like the "Just Us Girls" song and etc.. 😭
I love Killmeix and Bankruptix😂 but now we got Cosmix so..... Here we go again
oh god i remember this show from when i was little. my sister insisted it was called "beaks" and she never admitted she was wrong until we were like 12
I know it's not as accurate as the Rai dub, but I liked the 4kids and Nick dubs better, mainly for the voices
you're not alone, I feel the same way and others do too. now that I'm an adult I'd really like to appreciate the Rai dub more, particularly due to the fact it displays the show as unchanged as possible compared to the other two, but being an ex voice actor I've always loved the more dynamic voice casts for the nick and 4kids dubs. Rai has had good moments which I won't deny, but I always personally preferred watching the 4kids and Nick versions for the same reasons as you. They may have flaws but all dubs do. sorry for the rant 😅
I remember having to wake up at 5:30am to watch this on a Saturday morning
20:55 you forgot "Netflix"
How did nobody else think of this!?
The good thing about growing up in Sweden is that the Winx Club dub was more faithful and kept most of the voice actors season 1 - 5. No idea what happened after that.
I’ll never understand why people hate on the 4kids dub. I love it WAY more than any others. The original is eh, all the actors are just not even trying, and Nickelodeon just made me MAD. With the 4kids dub you could feel the emotions of all the characters. They also just...fit. Bloom’s actor was AMAZING and fit her the BEST. I personally can’t watch past season 3 because they don’t have this voice cast
I agree
Dialogue. Changed dialogue. That's all.
I didn’t like any of the English dubs. The rai dub was the closest to the Italian and had everything that made Winx Club Winx club including the music and story. But the voice acting was horrendous.
ohmygosh thank you SO much for this! i recently went through a winx club relapse and was so confused when i went to look it up to watch. but now i’m good!
Your videos are amazing - THANK YOU!! I grew up with 4Kids version and refuse to watch the S1-3 of the others (can't stand the voice changes), but I didn't realise 4Kids changed the plot lines sometimes too. This channel is fabulous, so fascinating doing a deep dive on Winx instead of just my usual rewatching it all simply.
The 4kids dub I remember watching seasons 1 & 2 growing up but never seeing the third season ( at the time I think 4kids stop airing on hawaii around the time I'm guessing) but yeah I loved 4kids' blooms voice actor
Oh how could I have forgotten about the “witch” pun from 4kids? XD
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video, it’s sort of a comfort video? I watch it when I’m feeling down and I become so relaxed and enjoy myself immensely~
You´re awesome. Thank you for this vid, it must have been a lot of work :)
* me a german who first watched winx in the german dub * ...
13:50 OH MY GOD I DIDN'T KNOW! Literally he voices Shadow and Sonic in Sonic X which was also dub in 4Kids
I'm so glad i found this youtube channel hitting the notification button
Thank you for doing this
