Other differeneces
(Rai/4kids)

Bloom's home: Domino/Sparx

Flora's home: Linphea/Fifth Moon of Marigold (WTH?)

Musa's home: Melody/Harmonic Nebula

Tecna's home: Zenith/3rd Vector of the Binary Galaxy (what a mouthful…)

Layla's home: Andros/Realm of Tides

Only Stella's home of Solaria was spared a name change.

A Fairy Comes to Gardenia (US: It Feels Like Magic).
4Kids:

It starts out with Bloom immediately going to the park where she meets Stella, then goes to the next day where she wakes up in a hurry, then her talking with her folks before heading out and running into Mitzy, then back home to a waking Stella.

Rai:

It started out with Bloom waking in a hurry, then speaks with her folks where she gets presented her bike (4Kids cut this whole scene out.), then she runs into Mitzy, THEN she goes to the park where she meets Stella, THEN to a waking Stella in her home.

Bloom's Waking Scene.

4Kids: (this scene should have occurred at the start of the episode and is cut in half in this edit) Vanessa: Fairies? Bloom hasn't read that book since she was little! Rise and shine princess, a beautiful day awaits. You know, that used to be your favorite book, you used to pretend that you were a fairy; you could do it for hours. So who's the girl downstairs who's fast asleep… in the guest room? Bloom: Ah, so it wasn't a dream. And she's still asleep? Err, she's…W-'s cousin (I can't tell what she said) and she's visiting from far away. Don't wake her up, OK mom? Vanessa: Come on downstairs for breakfast!

Rai: (this scene is where it should be)

(When the scene zooms into Gardenia, it cuts to Bloom's room, specifically her sketch desk where she has a perfect sketch of the town pinned up on a board, then goes to her bed.) Vanessa: Wake up sleepyhead, the sun's been up for ages! Bloom: Just 5 more minutes, Mom! Vanessa: You're late Bloom! Bloom: School? Oh no! Why didn't you wake me up before, ooh the alarm didn't go off. Oh noo, I can't believe this…. hang on, school's out, the alarm didn't go off because I'm on vacation, oh Mom, you're joking's not funny. Vanessa: Bloom, ah but you fell for it didn't you? Bloom: I'm sleepy; I'm going back to bed! Vanessa: You should try to go to bed earlier you know. You were up really late last night! Bloom: I was reading! Vanessa: "Fairies: Myth or Reality?" Uhh... don't you ever get tired of these silly things? Bloom: They're not silly, OK! Vanessa: Huh, actually, now that school is over, you can help me in the shop! Bloom: Nooooo!

4Kids doesn't bother telling of Bloom being a sketch artist, which was kinda important. Way to go…

Breakfast Scene:

4Kids: (the dialogue was completely re-written to suit the new location of this scene) Mike: Hey Bloom... today's the day we're gonna clean up the garage. (The text on his newspaper has been edited into straight lines…. dumb and a waste of time!) Bloom: C'mon Dad, I have lots of other stuff I have to do, lots of important stuff! Mike: What sort of stuff are you talking about? Do you remember when I was into Fairies and Witches dad? Mike: Of course I do. You were so cute, always pretending to know magic. Bloom: Well, here's the thing.. Mike: …if you knew magic, you could just wave a wand and the garage would clean itself! (I hate over-emphasis…) Bloom: Well that's kinda… the thing that I wanted to talk to you about. You know my friend, the one that's asleep in the guest room? Vanessa: Oh just give her a break honey; she wants to spend the day with her friend! Mike: OK, you get the groceries and you're free for the rest of the day! Bloom: You guys are the best! Thank you! (Runs off)

Rai: (how this scene should go) Mike: Good morning sunshine. Bloom: I'm not going to spend my summer working in the shop; I wish I could go somewhere fun with my friends! Mike: When you're older you can go wherever you want! Bloom: How old is older? I'm already sixteen Dad! Mike: Only sixteen, you are still my little girl. Bloom: Dad, it's not fair! Mike: Listen, in a few weeks we'll all be going to the beach like we do every year. Bloom: But all my friends go on holidays by themselves! That would have been the best present ever! Vanessa: Well, speaking of presents, we've got a little surprise for you! Mike: Yeah, just a little something to help you get around Gardenia. Bloom: Really? Thanks dad! (Runs outside)

(The following part gets cut out by the *******s known as 4Kids)

Bloom: (runs out the door to see her surprise, which was a bike.)

Mike: Nice, huh?

Bloom: (trying to hide her disappointment) Uhh… well… yeah… thanks. (She walks over to her new bike and goes off, obviously disappointed that her surprise wasn't something cooler)

Mike: (to Vanessa) See? She doesn't know what to say!

Vanessa: I don't know, maybe she was expecting something a bit more… sophisticated?

Mike: A bicycle with a speedometer, maybe?

Vanessa: A scooter, Mike!

Mike: But scooters are dangerous, and they cost a bundle!

Vanessa: We'll try to put some money aside. Maybe next year, we can get her one.

I swear, 4Kids has this thing about jumping straight to the point of things by showing spoilers early on. Already in the first 40 seconds of starting the 4Kids ep, Bloom already witnesses Stella's fight with Knut (that's gotta be a record…). Rai took nearly a full 4 minutes for Bloom to first see Stella. No joke. I timed it. It's like when you watch a movie, it already tells you what the plot twist is in the first five minutes of beginning when it was supposed to have been in the last ten.

No respect for plot build-up...

In same ep, 4Kids cut out the part where Kiko was trying to avoid the ghouls by snooping around in a cooking pot. Bloom picks it up in a way to show Kiko inside, looking terrified. She then accidentally dropped the pot and it rolls away, carrying Kiko with it. Quite a funny moment, actually. Why was this cut?

I swear, 4Kids has this thing about jumping straight to the point of things by showing spoilers early on. No respect for plot build-up...

When Bloom uses her powers for the first time.

4Kids:

Stella: "Whoa, you've got winx, girl! Major winx!" (Huh?)

Bloom: "What? Me? What do you mean?" (I'd like to know that myself...)

Stella: to Knut "Laught all you want, fashion fiasco, you're going down!" (Nice insult…)

Rai:

Stella: "Are you okay?"

Bloom: "Uh.. yeah..."

Stella: to Knut "I have my scepter back. You don't scare me anymore!"

Yes, keep it simple!

When Stella was in Bloom's room

4Kids:

Bloom: "Do you think I'm like the girl in that book?"

Stella: looking through faerie book "Hmmm, let's see... kinda, but this book was written by humans. You're much more cooler than this, and more fashionable!"

Bloom: "Wow, I can't believe I really do know magic! And I have, what did you call it, winx?" (sigh... it's MAGIC...)

Stella: "Your magic's always been inside you. It's like my faerie godmother used to say: sometimes you just need an ogre to attack you to find out what you're really made of!" (WTF? Why would anyone say THAT! Overemphasis on the 'fairy tale' bit here…)

Rai:

Bloom: "Is your world like that?"

Stella: looking through faerie book "Hmmm..."

Bloom: "Is it?"

Stella: "Yes... almost... but it's much nicer in here. It's so different."

Bloom: "I guess it all depends on your point of view, Stella. I still can't get over what hapenned. "

Stella: "Strong feelings such as fear have summoned up the wonderful powers that are in you. They were always there, you just didn't know it. It's just a question of concentration."

Simple explanation there. There was no need to change it. As I said before, 4Kids decided to make "winx" the power source for faeries. Rai Bloom simply made the word up in the 2nd episode.

"Welcome to Magix" (US: "More than High School")
Scene: Stella shows Alfea to Bloom and her parents.

4Kids:

Stella: "There it is! The realm-renowned Alfea school!"

Vanessa: "It sure is pretty amazing!"

Mike: "Whaaaa!"

Bloom: "It makes public school look totally lame-o!" (These lines are 'lame-o', too…)

Vanessa: "Well, before we decide, why don't we go see what it's like."

Bloom: "I'm so excited!"

Mike: "I wonder what their record is for college admissions? (runs into anti-magic barrier) Oof! It's as if there's an invisible wall! I can't get through it!"

Bloom: "No? (feels nothing) Where is it? I can't feel anything. Whatever it was, it's gone now."

Stella: "Actually, there IS an invisible wall."

Bloom: "But if it didn't stop me, why can't they get through?"

Stella: "Simple: you're a magical being, my dear! (reveals barrier) This barrier keeps non-magical beings out of Magix. Sorry, while I can't take you any further, I CAN show you the official Alfea slide globe! It comes complete with the school song!"

(I refuse to put that darn song in here! Wasted a good 33 seconds showing scenes that were going to happen anyway…)

Stella: "So? What do you think?"

Vanessa: "I think Bloom's going to have a great year…"

Bloom: "Mom…"

Vanessa: "You'll have a wonderful time."

Stella: "She sure will! I'll see to that!"

Mike: "Kiko, you keep an eye on her, okay?"

Stella: "Bloom, we should get going, you know, while the getting's good."

Bloom: (turns to Mike and Vanessa) "I'll be fine, guys. Don't worry about me."

Stella: "I'll send you back first class! Now just stand still… okay! Sun Power! (calls her staff) Transportus Back Home-us!" (Such a darn lame incantation it's not even funny. At least Zatanna of DC makes it sound original by saying her stuff backwards…)

Bloom: "(Mike and Vanessa are teleported away) Bye, guys! See ya!"

Stella: "It's time to make an entrance! A fabulous entrance is essential, 'dahling'."

Bloom: "I'm not sure what you mean, 'dahling', but I'll try!"

Stella: "Okay, follow me! Just smile, slither, and swivel!"

Bloom: "I'm nervous…"

Stella: "Relax, you're with me! Fairy school is like normal school, but we all have magic powers and better outfits!" (Yeesh… valley girl much? Also notice it IMMEDIATELY cuts from their walk right to the school gates while she was talking. Another cut happened here.)

Rai: 

Vanessa: "So this is the Realm of Magix…"

Mike: "Wow… this is like nothing I've ever seen!"

Vanessa: "That must be your school over there. You excited?"

Bloom: "You bet I am!"

Mike: "Let's go then. We don't want to be- oof! (runs int anti-magic barrier) Hey! It's like there's an invisible wall! I can't get through!"

Bloom: "Really? (feels nothing) Where is it? I can't feel anything. Are you guys pulling my leg?"

Mike: "No, Honey, honest!"

Bloom: "Stella, did you do that, by any chance?"

Stella: "No, Bloom. It's a protective barrier. It keeps non-magical creatures out of Alfea. (reveals barrier) Sorry, I'm afraid you can't go in any further."

Bloom: "Mom! Dad! (she passes through the yellow barrier, cut from 4Kids)"

Vanessa: "Guess it's time to say goodbye, Bloom… oh, my precious little girl… (Bloom shares a last hug with Mike and Vanessa)"

Mike: "Always do your best, okay? And remember, we'll always be there for you no matter what. Kiko, you keep an eye on her!"

Stella: "Don't worry, she's in good hands. (to Bloom) Come on, we gotta go!"

Bloom: "(turns to Mike and Vanessa) I'll be back home for a visit as soon as I can."

Stella: "I'll send you home now. Ready? Stay there and don't move. Solaria! (summons her staff) And have a nice trip! (Mike and Vanessa are teleported away. Stella turns to Bloom) Hm? Ready to take the plunge? Once you cross the barrier, there's no turning back!"

Bloom: "My mind's made up, Stella. I'm going with you!"

Stella: "All right! Let's get moving! It's time to show our faces!"

(4Kids cut)

Bloom picks up and pats her suitcase before she and Stella enter the barrier. We see a side profile of Bloom, then she stops, turns to the camera, and smiles.

(End 4Kids cut)

Notice in the Rai version, Stella DIDN'T do that slide-globe crap, which only served to waste time and show spoilers. They had to cut out footage for THAT!

Minor change: Stella passes Bloom off as Veranda since she's not in the register. In Rai, it's Veranda of Callisto. In 4Kids, it's for some reason Veranda of Vallisto.

Scene: Bloom meets the Trix.

4kids:

Darcy: (senses Bloom's presence) "Hmmm? Ladies, I sense an intruder! I'll split and go take care of it! (creates a doppleganger)" (Another stupid pun joke…)

Bloom: "Move, you! I can't see! Come on!"

Darcy: "Sometimes I forget how pretty I am! (vanishes)"

Bloom: "Yeah, that's better…(Darcy appears behind her and blasts her into the alley)"

Darcy: "Look what I found, girls!"

Bloom: "Ugh!" (notice comedic cartoon sound effect completely out of place in a series like this. 4Kids think this would be funny!?)

Icy: "Well hello."

Bloom: "Who are you?"

Icy: "Who are we? We are witches from Cloud Tower!" (actually, they're the Trix…)

Darcy: "And we're seniors! Nobody messes with senior witches!"

Icy: "But if you tell us where your friend, Stella, is, we MIGHT forgive you."

Bloom: "Back off! I have magic power! (fires off a slow-moving beam of sparkles which fall WAY short of Icy's face)"

Icy: "That poor girl barely has winx. That is just so sad. Here, let me show you what REAL magic looks like! (attacks Bloom) Join in, girls!" (It's NOT winx! It's magic!)

Darcy: (attacks Bloom) "Witch-up time!" (Huh?)

Rai:

Darcy: (senses Bloom's presence) "Sisters, we are being watched! May I take care of it? (creates a doppleganger)"

Bloom: "Move, you big oaf! I can't see a thing!"

Darcy: "Heheh! Now all I have to do is disappear… (vanishes as the doppelganger giggles) … and she'll stay here."

Bloom: "That's better! (Darcy appears behind her and blasts her into the alley) Ugh! Gasp!" (notice NO cartoon sound effect. It actually sounded like she was knocked down.)

Icy: "So, did you like our little joke?"

Darcy: "Turn around!" (Bloom gasps at seeing the real Darcy)

Icy: "Surprise!"

Bloom: "I am a Fairy! (fires off a slow-moving beam of sparkles which fall WAY short of Icy's face)"

Icy: "Ha! You call that magic, hm? I'll show you magic… (attacks Bloom) THAT'S magic!"

Darcy: (attacks Bloom) "And THAT'S magic!"

That's how the meeting really went down. Also notice that in 4Kids, the Trix were NEVER referred to as the Trix. They're just called the witches, which is just too general.

Scene: Stella teleports the girls away from the Trix.

4Kids:

Stella: "Get-us Outta here-us!" (More spamming of the "-us" suffix… completely idiotic!)

Rai:

Stella: "Let's get out of here, girls!" (Yes! Just keep it simple, please.)

Scene: Stella spills the beans about Bloom.

4Kids:

Stella: "(thaws Bloom) It's okay! You could've survived at least another fifteen minutes in that ice. You know, considering you're form Earth and all, you did outstandedly splendidly, Bloom! You were so brave!" ('Outstandedly splendidly'? WTF?)

Flora, Musa, and Tecna: "Stella… (Stella realizes too late she said too much)"

Flora: "Why did you just call her Bloom and say she was from Planet Earth?"

Stella: "Oh! Uh… right… there might be some tiny minor details we need to fill you in on… look, I'll give you the whole scoop on our way to Alfea!"

Bloom: (giggles nervously)

Rai:

Stella: "(thaws Bloom) Bloom, are you all right? It's okay, you're safe now. You know, Bloom, for an earthling, I must admit, you did really well. You were very brave."

Flora, Musa, and Tecna: "Stella! (Stella realizes too late she said too much)"

Flora: "Is there anything we need to know about 'Bloom of Callisto'?"

Stella: "Uh… well… I might have been fibbing a bit about Bloom's background... ugh, I'll explain everything on our way back to Alfea…"

Bloom: (giggles nervously)

Now here's the thing, 'Winx' is a name Bloom came up with. It is NOT a fairy's power source as 4Kids said.

Scene: the origin of the Winx name.

4Kids:

(This was actually put at the end of episode 4, 'Marshlands of Melmamora' US: 'Voice of Nature'. Idiots…)

Bloom: "I've been thinking… we're a really awesome group and we should have an awesome name! What do you think?"

Tecna: "Actually, it's a pretty good idea. A name is good for quick reference."

Stella: "The right name would give us that certain something. We could be called something like… the Wonder Five! Or the Stella Five! The Power Troupe! Or the B.S.M.F.T.!"

Musa: "B.S.M.F.T.?"

Stella: "Check it: beauty, style, magic, flair, and taste! And that's also the first letters of each of our names!" (obviously referencing W.I.T.C.H., so why couldn't they reference the other stuff?)

Musa: "Nah, that's way too cheesy!"

Flora: "I say Bloom picks it."

Musa & Tecna: "Me too."

Bloom: "Really? (takes out her drawing) Because I did come up with a little something. I even made a logo! Check it out!"

Flora: "That's awesome!"

Stella: "It's totally mint, Bloom!"

Tecna: "But, uh… so our name is 'Winx'?"

Bloom: "Even better. We're the 'Winx Club'!"

Rai:

(This takes places in the 2nd episode where it belongs, NOT the 4th...)

Stella, Flora, Musa & Tecna: "Who?"

Bloom: "The 'Winx'! Us! I mean, if we're going to be a group, we should have a name! Don't you think?"

Tecna: "Actually, that's not a bad idea. A name's good for a quick reference."

Stella: "It's true! The three witches are the Trix, and we can be called something like… the 'Super Five'! Uh, the 'Stella Five'! Oh, I've got it! The 'Airy Fairies'!"

Musa: "The… the what…?"

Stella: "Heehee! The 'Airy Fairies'! It's short and sweet, and it rhymes… what's wrong? You don't like it, Musa?"

Musa: "Naw, sounds terrible!"

Flora: "I vote for 'Winx'!"

Musa & Tecna: "Me too!"

Bloom: "Perfect! (takes out her drawing) Because you see, I've already come up with a logo! Simple, yet catchy!"

Stella: "Gasp! This looks fantastic!"

Tecna: "Yes, but, uh… what does 'Winx' mean?"

Bloom: "Nothing. Just… 'Winx'!"

THIS is how the Winx name came into being. The comic gave better detail as to how Bloom came up with it, which makes a lot of sense. If you thought Stella's name suggestions were stupid (she tried 'Fantastic Five', a reference to 'Fantastic Four'), Tecna came up with the dumbest one:

Tecna: "How about the 'Super Little Fairies'?"

(Stella, Flora, and Musa stare at her for a few seconds)

Stella, Flora & Musa: "Phhhtt! 'Super Little Fairies'! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Tecna: "Hey! There's nothing wrong with it!"

When Stella brings Bloom to Alfea for the first time in Welcome to Magix.

Meeting Griselda…

4Kids:

Stella: "Long time no see, Ms. G!"

Griselda: "Not long enough, Princess Stella! Not after the little incident last year! I don't know how your parents convinced the school board to take you back! It's beyond me." (this is an error here since Stella lives with her father as her parents are divorced)

Stella: "They did donate that new computer lab." (Huh? Where?)

Rai:

Stella: "Good morning, Ms. Griselda!"

Griselda: "Well, if it isn't Princess Stella of Solaria. I never thought I'd see you here. After what happened last year, I'm surprised you've chosen to grace us with your presence, once again."

Stella: "I don't give up that easily, ya know!"

Griselda talks with the new students

4Kids: (this got stupidly rearranged to suit the dialogue)

Griselda: "First things first, our code of behavior: the first rule is, you must follow all rules in the code of behavior! If you break the rules once, you will be turned into a frog. If you break the rules twice, your magic privileges will be suspended. And if you break the rules three times, you will be expelled, isn't that right, Princess Stella? Last year, she destroyed the potions laboratory with an unauthorized magic spell, which brings me to the second rule: no unsupervised magic at any time! A-hem!" (Sounds like the Fight Club rules...)

Bloom: "You really did that?"

Stella: "I was trying to create a new shade of pink!" (THAT'S the reason! Oh come on!)

Griselda: "We believe discipline is the only way to prepare you for the world out there, which brings me to the third rule: stay away from the witches of Cloud Tower no matter what! We don't have a punishment for that, because nothing we can do could be as terrible as what THEY will do to you if they catch you there!"

(4Kids cuts out where Faragonda and the faculty meet the students outside)

Rai: (this is more consistent, as usual)

Griselda: "This school will be your home for the next five years. BUT! This home can cease to be yours at any moment. The rules of this institution are based on discipline. Disregard these rules and I shall personally escort you to the front gate! This is NOT a magicians' school. You're not here to learn hocus pocus. Consequentially, you may not use your powers in the hallways or other common areas. In fact, the only place where you may display your powers is in your classroom under teachers' supervision. Is that CLEAR, Princess Stella? Thanks to you and your antics, the potion laboratory will not be accessible until next month at the earliest! Now I think you know what NOT to do if you wish to stay? Eh? Hmph!"

Bloom: "You did that?"

Stella: "So? My father paid for all the damages!"

(It then shows Faragonda and the other faculty coming out to greet the new students outside)

After Faragonda dismisses everyone to the dorms.

4Kids:

Faragonda: "Remember, everyone! Let's make this a great year! Oh! And of course use every opportunity to connect to your Winx!" (Er... it's magic... Bloom made the word up...)

Bloom: "It sounds like they prepare you for all kinds of stuff! You know what you're gonna be?"

Stella: "Duh! I'm gonna, like, rule the Kingdom of Solaria!"

Bloom: "What did she mean 'connect to your Winx'?" (I'd like to know that myself...)

Stella: "Winx is essentially three things. First, it's your source of power, as in your strength and energy. And second, it 's what guides you. Thirdly, it's like your magical identity." (They replaced explaining the 3 schools with THIS!)

Bloom: "I think I got it."

Stella: "You either got it or you don't, and you DO!" (Err... right...)

Rai:

Faragonda: "Good luck, everybody! I'll see you all tomorrow. Oh! And classes start at 8:00 sharp. Do be punctual!"

Stella: "You'll like the Headmistress Faragonda. She always says the same thing, but she's really nice."

Bloom: "Who are the witches of Cloud Tower? "

Stella: "Magix has three schools. Ours is one, there's the Red Fountain School of Specialists, that's where the squad guys go, finally, there's the Witches School of Cloud Tower."

Bloom: "Witches? Wow..."

Stella: "Yeah, well, better steer clear of them."

4Kids did a LOT of idiotic line-changing. They WAY over-emphasized on Stella being a valley girl. Is it so wrong to say that she's not always like that? Stella isn't supposed to be a total airhead, you know. Sheesh…

Alfea College for Fairies (4Kids: Save the First Dance)
(They changed a lot of stuff around, and it's stupid.)

Scene: Bloom attempts to magically change her hair color

4Kids:

Bloom: "I was the only one who couldn't do it!"

Stella: "You'll get it! You just have to practice! After all, you know what they say, 'practice makes perfect'!"

Bloom: "Yeah, I can do this! It's like when I had to learn how to high jump back in Gardenia."

Stella: "That's the right attitude! And before you know it, you'll be growing fairy wings!"

Bloom: "I sure hope so…"

Stella: "I know it! So let's just give it another try. Let's try this! Think about the best hair day you ever had. Think about how happy you were and use that to change your hair color." (Err… what is this, the school founded by Tinkerbell?)

Bloom: (concentrates, but winds up making her bangs stick upwards) "Ugh! Great! This is what I end up with?"

Stella: "I'm just trying to help you, okay! You're a bigger project than I thought… Hmph…" (What's a bigger project is that 4Kids gives stupid face-lifts to every foreign show…)

Rai:

Bloom: "Let's try again, okay?"

Stella: "All right, one last time and that's it. School's just beginning. You don't get it today, it's not the end of the world."

Bloom: "Where I come from, there's a saying: 'Don't put off til tomorrow what you can do today'."

Stella: "Where I come from, we have no such expression, and we're all much more relaxed."

Bloom: "Stella, please?"

Stella: "Ugh… all right, but remember, concentrate! Think of a color, and imagine your hair starting to change. New color slowly spreading from the root to the tip of your hair…"

Bloom: (concentrates, but winds up making her bangs stick upwards) "Great! See what I end up with?"

Stella: "Bloom! You're not paying attention! You're not concentrating enough!"

(The following lines were cut out from the same scene by 4Kids)

Flora: "Well, at least something happened, and that's progress!"

Stella: (starts to laugh her butt off and fall on the bed next to Bloom)

Flora: "Oh, stop laughing…" (she walks over and sits next to Bloom. Stella sits up after finally calming down)

Bloom: "Why should she? Look at this, I'm ridiculous!"

Flora: "That's not true, all you need is a bit of practice."

Bloom: (shakes her hair back to normal) "You know, I've never had such a rough day."

Stella: "The first day's always like that."

Bloom: "Girls, can I ask you something?"

Stella: "Uh-huh."

Bloom: "Why are you here at Alfea?

Stella: "Because I'm going to become a real fairy: successful, beautiful, powerful, and universally admired! (Bloom and Flora look at each other) … of course, I also want to do good things, like making people happy, and bringing back together estranged lovers… starting with my parents…"

Flora: "I want to become a real fairy, too, but I'm here primarily because I really love to learn."

Stella: (smacks Flora on the had with a pillow) "Oh, that is such a nerdy answer!"

Flora: "What about you, Bloom?"

Bloom: (gets up to look out the window) "Well that's the problem. I have no idea what I'm doing here."

Smart, 4Kids… way to go and skip over the character development! Flora is shown to be the studious one, as opposed to making it Tecna. A bit of Stella's past is revealed about her divorced parents and how much it pains her. Bloom is still lost and confused as to what direction her life should take now that she's found out that she's a fairy, which is still pretty much a big shock to her.

Scene: The cafeteria

4Kids:

(the girls are seated at the table eating)

Stella: "You just have to take it day by day."

Bloom: "I hope tomorrow is better."

Tecna: "Well the learning curve for the first semester at our new school is quite steep, you know."

Rai:

Once more, a segment was cut by 4Kids.

(A shot of the cafeteria overhead as the students and faculty dine in. In the hallway, Bloom and Flora, having slept in, were running towards the cafeteria and sees it already filled. They try to sneak by to their seats near Stella, Musa, and Tecna. Griselda, however, noticed the two girls' tardiness. Bloom and Flora look at their soup bowls in embarassment. NOW it goes to the scene 4Kids cut to.)

Stella: "It's about time, what took you guys so long?"

Bloom: "My fault. I overslept…"

Tecna: "Watch out for Mistress Griselda. Somehow, I don't think she's a very nice person."

Not even sure why they cut that out, it was funny.

Scene: Schemes at Cloud Tower. Griffon proposes that they crash Alfea's party.

4Kids:

(The witch students gather as Griffon takes the high seat)

Witch student 1: "There's the headmistress…"

Witch student 2: "She's so scary!"

Griffon: "Young witches, I hope your first day of school is full with nastiness and troublemaking! And now an exciting announcement! We'll kick off the year with a school-wide competition! It will be WICKED!" (God, that is such a stupid pun… "wicked"? I know they're witches, but it's still stupid, not to mention they're stereotyping themselves.)

(The students cheer at the announcement)

Griffon: "The objective's simple and cruel: it is to sabatoge Alfea's precious back-to-school dance. You're all welcome to suggest ideas, and the winners will receive a gift certificate to Aberzombies&Witch! (WTF is this! Abercrombie&Fitch must be crying right now…) It's up to you to dream up of a way to turn their celebration into a catastrophe! I encourage you to be as witchy as possible! (I'm surprised… a hidden take on being as *****y as possible. The whole script is a *****.) Your proposals should be double-spaced and bound. May the worst witch win!" (and may this, the worst version of the show, be buried in the desert near those Atari E.T. game cartridges)

Darcy: "I think this is the perfect chance to get Stella's ring."

Icy: "Of course."

Stormy: "But the point is to sabatoge their party."

Icy: "We'll kill two birds with one stone."

Rai:

(The witch students gather as Griffon takes the high seat)

Faulty: "Attention, please! Here comes Head Witchtress Griffon!"

Griffon: "My young witches, I have summoned you here because I have a sad piece of news to share: the fairies are hosting a party tonight, and once again, the witches of Cloud Tower have NOT been invited."

(the students BOO at the announcement. Yes, they BOO.)

Griffon: "Yes, my friends, I agree with you, but this is an opportunity for you to test your cursing skills. It is the duty of every witch in this school to crash this party and wipe the smile off their face! They've snubbed us, we'll make them pay! And so, I urge you to come up with a way to ruin their little fiesta! Submit your proposals and I'll select one. May the worst witch win!"

Darcy: "What do you think? Should we come up with a little scheme?"

Icy: "Why not?"

Stormy: "Aw, come on. We'd just be wasting our time."

Icy: "Trust me, Stormy dear, it will be fun."

Episode 5, "Date with Disaster"
(another rare instance where both versions have the same title.)

Scene: kitchen duty. This one alone is unexpectedly long.

4Kids:

Flora: "Okey-dokers, five hundred potatoes down." (Taking advantage of off-screen talking…)

Tecna: "So that means five hundred more to go." (Again, taking advantage of off-screen talking…)

Bloom: "You know what? I'll feel like a dork if this doesn't work."

Musa: "Well where did you find the formula?"

Bloom: "It was in Vanity Fairy's new self improvement guide, so I mean it should work! A thousand potatoes, a bushel of flipweed, a magic backflip, and you're making good decisions all the next day! It says good judgement is guaranteed!" (WTF is this stuff!)

Chef: (comes in) "I thought I heard itty bitty voices! What-a are you girls a-doing in my-a kitchen, eh?"

Bloom: "Err… working on an experiment project for potion class?"

Chef: "Look at this place! A mess!"

Tecna: "The potion lab was signed out."

Musa: "Relax, Maestro, have a spud!"

Chef: "My spare potatoes! You're a-using my-a babies! And what is this all about!"

Flora: "That's dinner."

Bloom: "We got hungry."

Chef: "That is not-a how to cook!"

Musa: "Hey! How hard can it be to make an omelette?"

Chef: "You have to show-a love to your food! You cannot neglect it! You must-a put-a passion in your cooking!"

(stupid 4Kids pointless arrangement. First it shows Flora flip hers, then Tecna, then Musa, THEN it shows them catching them in that same order. Why didn't they just leave it alone?)

Chef: (Bloom tossed her omelette on the ceiling fan) "Not-a that much passion!"

(more pointless scene cuts)

Bloom: "Err… I guess I'll get a ladder?"

Flora: "Don't worry, I got it!" (turns fan faster)

Tecna: "I don't think that's it!"

Musa: "Go little omelette! Spinnin' like a DJ! Like it's your birthday! Like it's got your biggest fan! Gonna serve you up with ham now!" (yeah, she was rapping this…)

Chef: "Knock it OOOOOOOOOOFFFFF! I see you-a need instruction on singing as well as cooking! In the kitchen, opera is the music of choice! Rap is for leftovers! Whah! (omelette falls on him) Normally, I would-a find this funny, but as I am the one with egg on my face, I do not laugh! Now-a wrap-a this project up. You might want to be done by the time the headmistress gets here!" (leaves) (My God, does this guy EVER shut up in this version!)

Flora: (looks in oven) "The flipweed's almost done!" (this was supposed to be a roast…)

Stella: (comes in) "So what's the sitch in the kitch, girls?"

Tecna: "The term 'fashionably late' can only be applied to social engagements, you know."

Stella: "Yeah, I know I totally said I'd help, but you're just gonna have to let me play a good excuse card for today!" ('good excuse card'? What's this, a board game?)

Bloom: "Oh yeah? What's the excuse this time?"

Stella: "I just received a last-minute invitation!"

Musa: "Another 'Shoe of the Month' club?"

Stella: "Prince Sky! He invited me to meet him at some place called the Black Lagoon Café tonight!"

Flora: "Cool!"

Musa: "A handwritten note! You go, Stella! Whoo!"

Stella: "I've been trying to figure out what to wear, but I'm in desperate need of second opinions!"

Bloom: "Say no more!"

RAI:

(Note that Flora and Tecna said NOTHING in the beginning)

Bloom: "Oh, I hate doing kitchen duties… I just don't get it."

Musa: "What is it that you don't get, Bloom?"

Bloom: "Why a school for fairies can't use magic to cook dinner? It doesn't make sense! All you've got to do is wave a magic wand, snap your fingers, wiggle your nose a couple of times, and wa-la! Everything is ready without any effort!"

Chef: (comes in) "However, home-cooked-a meals taste a lot better and are-a much-a healthier!"

Bloom: "Um… hi, Maestrofordia."

Chef: "How's-a this side dish coming along?"

Musa: "We're almost finished, sir."

Chef: "These potatoes are too small! Take off less skin! And what about the omelettes! Don't forget to flip them, eh!"

Bloom: "Oh! Of course!"

Chef: "Cooking is an art, young lady!"

Musa: "When I graduate from here, I'll eat out every night."

Chef: "Now let us see you flip-a these omelettes. Come on!"

(Flora flips her omelette and catches hers. Tecna flips her omelette and catches hers. Musa flips her omelette, but it takes a little more time for hers to come down, and she barely manages to catch it in time.)

Bloom: (tosses her omelette on the ceiling fan. 4Kids cut: it shows the girls and the Chef look up as the camera pans upwards to see the omelette on the fan blades, then an overhead shot where this dialogue takes place) "Oh, I'm so sorry! I have no idea how it happened!"

Chef: "Well what are you a-waiting for! Somebody turn-a off-a the fan!"

Flora: "Uh… I'll do it!" (turns it faster)

Musa: "Come on down, little omelette! Don't be afraid! Trust me, no one's gonna eat you!"

Chef: "I said turn it OOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFF! (Flora turns off the fan and the omelette splatters on him) Grr… I'll have a-word with the headmistress about granting you a permanent exemption from kitchen duties! Errgg… you young fairies cause more trouble than help! Now I must-a clean up before dinnertime, so keep an eye on the roast!" (leaves)

Flora: (checks oven) "Everything's okay here!"

Stella: (comes in) "Girls, I have some really wild news!"

Tecna: "We know. You've managed to get out of kitchen duties. Congratulations, Stella."

Stella: "Oh, but I have a perfectly valid reason for that, you know! I'm going out tonight! I've got a date! Isn't that exciting?"

Bloom: "Oh, a valid reason indeed…"

Stella: "I've received an invitation! Guess who from?"

Musa: "Oh, we're just DYING to know…"

Stella: "Prince Sky! Can you believe it? An invitation to Black Lagoon! Sounds good, huh?"

Flora: "Wow!"

Musa: "A guy who knows you and STILL wants to see you?"

Stella: "But what am I gonna wear? I'm so confused! Will you help me pick something?"

Bloom: "Well, okay!"

This whole thing was supposed to be just kitchen duty, simple as that. However, 4Kids makes up a stupid subplot here which makes absolutely no sense. I mean, a "good decision" potion? Considering what had happened in this episode, it completely contradicts.

Scene: Helping Stella and kitchen aftermath.

4Kids:

(In Stella's walk-in closet)

Bloom: "You've got a whole nother row back there?"

Tecna: "Doesn't this guy lose points because of the short notice?"

Stella: "Yes, but he gets bonus points for the formal invitation! So…"

Flora: (picks out black dress) "This one's beautiful! You think I could borrow this sometime? I don't own much black and I-"

Stella: "Uh, hello? Focus, Flora! We're here to help me!"

Tecna: (looks at weird dress) "I'm guessing there's an excellent story behind this pattern! Where in the Realms did you get that thing, Stella?"

Stella: "I designed it!"

Tecna: "Oh, well, it's very…"

Stella: "Very what?"

Musa: "Uh,-oh…"

Bloom: (picks blue dress) "What about this one?"

Stella: "Perfect, Bloom!"

Bloom: "So will Brandon be there?"

Stella: "No. Sky gave his servants the night off."

Bloom: "Oh! Brandon is not Prince Sky's servant! The correct term is First Royal Squire!"

Stella: "Talk to me about these heels! Too intense?" (another cut in this section)

Tecna: "No, but they're not very practical!"

Stella: "Musa, be a dear and bring me that green chest."

Musa: "Of course, Your Highness. (struggles with chest) Ugh! What's in there!"

Stella: "Oh, just a few accessories!"

Flora: " 'Just a few?' Uh…"

Stella: "The Ring of Solaria! Hmmm… you know what? Better not. (removes ring) Bloom, could you keep an eye on this for me?"

Bloom: (takes ring) "You're not gonna wear it?"

Stella: "Nah! When I have it, I tend to cast love spells before I even know the guy! Besides, something tells me I won't be needing any magic tonight!"

Tecna: "I don't understand. Why do you let yourself get so charged up about seeing some guy?"

Musa: "Yo! Does anybody else smell that?"

Stella: "Ew! That's stinky!"

Tecna: "The flipweed!"

Musa: (runs down the hall) "Quick! Outta the way! Coming through! Come on, hurry up!"

Stella: "Hello? We're not done!"

Bloom: "Good luck tonight, Stella!"

Musa: "Have a good time!"

Flora: (grabs extinguisher) "We'll need this!"

Bloom: (She, Musa, and Tecna barge into the smoky kitchen) "Guess the flipweed's well done."

Griselda: " 'Well' and 'done' are two words rarely used together whenever you girls are involved! I can't wait to hear the explanation for this one."

Musa: "How's it going, Ms. G?"

Griselda: "Aero-la! (clears out smoke) The Maestro tells me you purloined enough potatoes to feed an entire-" (I'm surprised they kept that foreign word in.)

Flora: (barges in and trips) "Here I've got the- Ooof!"

Griselda: "AAAH! (covered in anti-flame retardant) Since you're having such a good time in the kitchen, you can spend the rest of the night here, cooking dinner for the entire school!"

Musa: "She didn't say that while we're here…"

Bloom: "… we couldn't still finish the potion! Hm?" (There is NO **** potion here!)

RAI:

(In Stella's walk-in closet)

Bloom: "Stella, you've got so many clothes!"

Stella: "Hmmm… that's the problem… I need something really special, romantic!"

Flora: (picks out black dress) "I'd wear this! Pure classic elegance! It's perfect!"

Stella: "For a funeral, yes. For a date, I need a bit more pizzazz."

Tecna: (looks at weird dress) "How about this then? You're sure to make a lasting impression wearing this. How could you have bought something like that?"

Stella: "I didn't buy it."

Tecna: "Someone GAVE it to you?"

Stella: "I designed it!"

Musa: "In the dark?" (this is a LOT funnier than the crappy version!)

Bloom: (picks blue dress) "I like this!"

Stella: "Yeah, that's it!"

Bloom: "Will Brandon be there, too?"

Stella: "No, Sky gave his servants the night off."

Bloom: "Oh come on! Brandon is not his servant! He's his assistant! There's a difference!"

Stella: "Sorry, Bloom. I was just joking, all right?"

(4Kids cut)

Bloom: "Hmph…"

Stella: "You like him, huh?"

Bloom: "Hey!"

Stella: "Yeah I know, don't tell me, it's none of my business."

(end 4Kids cut)

Tecna: "Yeah, well you know, you shouldn't have called him that, Stella."

Stella: "Musa, could you get that box for me, please?"

Musa: "Sure. (struggles with chest) Ugh! What's in there?"

Stella: "Just a few pieces of jewelry."

Flora: " 'A FEW pieces'!"

Stella: "Here! These are perfect! But, uh… the ring is too much. (removes ring) Now that's better! Here, Bloom, could you keep this for me, please?"

Bloom: (takes ring) "But it's your magic ring!"

Stella: "Oh, I won't need it tonight. Hey, who needs a magic scepter when you've got a real prince to protect you?"

Tecna: "I wouldn't trust that guy. Something is not quite right about this date. I smell a rat!"

Musa: "I smell something, too…"

(4Kids cut)

(scene of Flora, Musa, and Tecna panicking in the closet)

Tecna: "AHH! THE ROAST!"

Flora: "Oh no, the roast!"

(end 4Kids cut)

Musa: "Hurry up! Quick!"

Flora: (grabs extinguisher) "I'll get the extinguisher!"

Bloom: (She, Musa, and Tecna barge into the smoky kitchen) "Uh-oh! What a mess!"

Griselda: " 'Mess' you say? A better word would be disaster! Catastrophe! Calamity! Your unreliability is unforgivable!"

Musa: "Oh no! It's Ms. Griselda!"

Griselda: "Aero-lax! (clears out smoke)"

Flora: "I'm coming, girls!"

Griselda: "I hope you have a good excuse for all of this…"

Flora: (barges in and trips) "Here I- auuugh!"

Griselda: Gasp! (gets covered in flame retardant) "Get back to work immediately! Do you hear me! Dinner must NOT be delayed! Do your BEST, girls!" (leaves in a huff)

Bloom: "… bread and cheese okay with you guys? Hm?"

Why the hell does 4Kids change these things? There's no point! Speaking of which, I said earlier in the chapters that 4Kids has a bad habit of putting up early spoilers with no respect for plot build-up. Case in point. Soon after the kitchen aftermath scene, it goes to Cloud Tower…

4Kids:

Darcy: "You think she got the invitation?"

Icy: "I know she did. Knut said she jumped up and down squealing."

Darcy: "Actually squealing?"

Stormy: "I would've gagged on the spot! Love is so lame!"

Icy: "Know why this plan rules?" (Oh please enlighten me, Icy…) "Because we get to kill two newts with one footstomp!"

Darcy: "Huh?"

Stormy: "What?"

Icy: "You see, not only is the Ring of Solaria gonna fall right into our hands, but we get to break Stella's precious heart! I can't tell you how much I love watching a little pixie get her heart broken!"

RAI:

None. That scene doesn't even exist in this episode! That scene was actually pulled out of the Miss Magix episode way down the lane! What the hell, 4Kids! You pluck out a scene, plug it into an episode it doesn't even belong in, and put in your own, plot-destroying lines! 4Kids already flatly tells you that the Stella who came back is an imposter right from the get-go! In RAI, you don't see the Trix until the end of the episode! Just WHAT the hell was 4Kids hoping to accomplish pulling this crap!?

4Kids took out the scene of the aftermath of cooking dinner for the whole school, mostly because of their stupid made-up crap about making a "good decision potion".

RAI:

Bloom and Flora enter their room after a long night of cooking.

Bloom: "Ohh… I'm exhausted…"

Flora: *yawns*

Bloom: "And I'm not even hungry anymore."

Flora: *Slumps on her bed*

Bloom: "How are you feeling, Flora? (sits up to see Flora already asleep) Enough said."

Kiko: *tucks Flora in*

Scene: Bloom leaves to check on "Stella"

4Kids:

Flora: "I know, Tecna, but still…"

Bloom: "We're her friends. Something must be up. Let me go check up on her real quick."

Musa: "You're the one with the good judgement." (There is NO **** good decision potion!)

Flora: "What about Palladium's class?"

Bloom: "I'll be right back, just give me a minute!"

(stupid cut here and goes directly to Bloom entering the ransacked dorm)

Bloom: "Stella? Huh? Whoa…"

RAI:

Flora: "But I thought we were her friends…"

Bloom: "I'll try again with Stella. You guys just wait for me here, okay?"

Musa: "Good luck, girl!"

Bloom: "Flora is right. I thought we were all friends"

(4Kids cut)

(Bloom walks up the steps and through the halls as she monologues)

Bloom: "And friends forgive each other. I'm sure Stella has a good explanation for her wacky behavior this morning. At least I hope so…"

(end 4Kids cut)

Bloom: *enters ransacked room* "Gasp! Stella?"

Scene: aftermath of "Stella's" rampage in the dorm.

4Kids:

Flora: "Why is she being such a fuddy?" (Wait… "fuddy"?)

Tecna: "There is a technical term for the way she is acting: crazy."

Bloom: "I think there's more to it than that. She's in danger! I don't know what kind of danger, but my new powers of good judgement are telling me we've got to do something!" (There IS NO **** GOOD JUDGEMENT POTION!)

RAI:

Flora: "What in the world has gotten into her?"

Tecna: "Her date with Prince Charming must've sent her into dizzy mode."

Bloom: "On Earth, we'd say she's out of her head, but somehow, I don't think Sky's got anything to do with it. You should've seen her! She was… she was really evil! It didn't look like her!"

Scene: Bloom, Flora, Musa, and Tecna fail to find the "Black Lagoon".

4Kids:

Flora: "My feet are killing me…"

Bloom: "I don't understand! Now could nobody in Magix have heard of this place?"

Musa: "Maybe someone's just played a joke on Stel and it put her in a bad mood."

Tecna: "You know, I think Musa's right. Let's just go back to Alfea."

Bloom: "No. Just give me a minute to think."

Tecna: "Bloom, just because you took that potion doesn't mean you're in charge!" (again with the **** nonexistent potion!)

Bloom: "I'm sorry if I care about our friend!"

Flora: "Okay people! Now just relax!"

Bloom: "Tecna!"

Tecna: "Bloom!"

RAI:

Flora: "Nothing. This isn't good…"

Bloom: "If they wanted to be a cool spot, they really should start advertising a little bit."

Musa: "Yeah! Nobody's heard of it! There's something fishy going on here…"

Tecna: "Maybe we should all go back to Alfea and warn Ms. Griselda."

Bloom: "You girls give up already?"

Tecna: "Listen, this kind of perseverance is not always good, Bloom."

Bloom: "Neither are your electronic gadgets!"

Flora: "Hey hey! This is no time to be fighting!"

Bloom: "Sorry…"

Tecna: "Yeah, sorry…"

4Kids made Bloom seem bossy here…

Scene: The girls fight against "Stella"

4Kids:

"Stella": "Ha ha! It's over, Pixies!"

Musa: "Friend or not, she's gonna get Mused!" (WTF?)

Flora: " 'She's gonna get Mused'? What's that? " (I'd like to know that myself, too…)

Bloom: "Guys, that's not Stella! You know who calls us 'Pixies'! (stands) Are you Icy or Darcy!?"

"Stella": "And the slowest horse crosses the finish line! Ahahaha! Congratulations! (reverts to Darcy) Here's your prize!"

RAI:

"Stella": "Ready to surrender!"

Musa: "That's enough! I'm sick of being your target!"

Flora: "No, Musa! Don't react! We can't hurt Stella!"

Bloom: "But that's not Stella! She has no powers without her ring! (stands) Alright, enough fooling around!"

"Stella": "Right you are, little faeries! Time to shed the disguise, and be myself! (reverts to Darcy) Once again!"

4Kids couldn't use a simple thing like that for the girls to figure out that "Stella" was a fake…

Scene: After the girls rescue the real Stella.

4Kids:

Musa: "That was a good decision, Bloom."

Stella: "Yeah, seriously. I wish I had some of that potion last night." (for the last time, THERE'S NO **** POTION!)

Tecna: "Then you might have known NOT to go out on a date?"

Bloom: "Hey, you know what? Last night, I almost forgot to mix in the mandrake beet. Who knows what would've happened?"

Tecna: "No wait! You're supposed to mix in a mandrake ROOT, not a beet!"

Flora: "Wait, she got the potion wrong? You know what this means?"

Bloom: "I sure do, Flora! This totally rules!"

Stella: "Bloom, what are you talking about?"

Bloom: "I'm a natural good decision maker!"

Flora: "You didn't need the potion! Just thinking you took it gave you confidence!"

Bloom: "You know girls, the Witches may have scored a goal, but they haven't won the game! (kicks a can)"

Tecna: "What game?"

Stella: "It's an expression, Tecna!"

Bloom: "Don't worry! We're gonna get that ring back! (kicks can at screen)"

RAI:

Musa: "We've been had. We fell for it like amateurs."

Stella: "Well, maybe that's because we ARE amateurs."

Tecna: "We could have beaten them! It was four against four!"

Bloom: "A battle could've made things worse. To me, the exchange was the best possible option bar none."

Tecna: "But who are you to decide for all of us? You're not the boss!"

Flora: "Tecna, I would've done the same thing."

Bloom: "They might've scored a goal, but the game isn't over yet!"

Stella: "What are you talking about?"

Bloom: "What? You don't have soccer on your planets?"

Flora: "What's soccer?"

Bloom: "Come, I'll show you. It's a game you play with a ball. Let's take this for example. (kicks a can)"

Tecna: "That's NOT a ball."

Stella: "It's just an EXAMPLE, Tecna."

Bloom: "Now, it goes like this… (kicks can at screen)"

Yeah, "good decision potion" my ***! What a load of crap. That contradicts with some of Bloom's poor judgment (real or made up by 4Kids) in future episodes. I suppose it was a good decision on her part to just stand there and let that ice boulder fall on her in her physical test (4Kids crap change, when she was SUPPOSED to PASS it), or it was such a GOOD decision for Bloom to just attack Diaspro on the first meeting over an assumption. Let's also not forget how she just trusted the fake Avalon with all her personal secrets which resulted in her getting captured. Oh yeah, that was a REAL good decision to trust him.


 * 'The Betrayal of Riven' (US: 'Spelled')

A horrible butchering in the beginning of the episode, no less.

Scene: Stella and Flora check on a sleeping Bloom.

 4Kids: 

(Unsurprisingly, the 4Kids version skipped an entire segment…)

Flora: "It's so weird. It's like her Winx is activating." (it's MAGIC!)

Stella: "Activating in her sleep!?" (and for some reason, Bloom is on TOP of her bed sheets…)

Flora: "Mmm-hmm."

Stella: "How is that even possible?" (and how is it even possible that this crappy version was made!?)

Flora: "Check it out!"

Stella: "Whoa! Look at that!"

Bloom: (in her sleep) "Don't go! I'm ready! Wait!"

Stella: "Did you see her outfit change? I wish I could do that in my sleep!" (4Kids taking every opportunity to make Stella overly materialistic…)

Flora: "More than clothes are changing here. When this happens to magical beings, it means her powers are evolving!" (so why the hell did Bloom fail her physical test a couple episodes later? Stupid continuity error and dub-induced plothole…)

Stella: "Oh…"

The cut out sections before AND after this scene… and once again, they're getting to the point way too early. It also made a continuity error here. If Bloom's powers were REALLY evolving, as Flora said, then she wouldn't have flunked her physical test some episodes later. Morons…

Here's what REALLY happened.

 RAI: 

(segment cut from 4Idiots.)

(Flora knocks on Stella's door. A groggy Stella answers)

Stella: "Mmmm… no wait, don't tell me… (she sniffs the air) oh, it's you, Flora. I'd recognize that perfume anywhere."

Flora: "Stop joking, Stella! I'm here about Bloom."

Stella: (plops face-down on her bed) "Wrong room. She sleeps in yours, remember?"

Flora: "No listen, she's doing it again, Stella! You understand?"

Stella: "Yawn… understand what?"

(now to the part 4Idiots cut to. Notice Bloom's UNDER her bed sheets)

Flora: "See? She's talking to someone in her sleep."

Stella: "That's not so unusual. She's probably having a nightmare or something."

Flora: "But that's not just a nightmare. Look at her!"

Bloom: (in her sleep) "Don't go! I'm coming! Wait!"

Stella: "That's amazing! Looks like she's transforming in her sleep!"

Flora: "Maybe we ought to do something. Let's get the others. Maybe Tecna can do something to help her. Or Musa, or-"

Stella: "Flora…"

(Next segment cut off but 4Idiots)

Flora: "Or maybe we should tell Ms. Griselda, no, maybe not, let's go see Faragonda!"

Stella: "Flora…"

Flora: "Or maybe we shouldn't do anything at all, you know?"

Stella: (clearly pissed off) "Flora, listen!"

Flora: "For a sleepwalker…"

Stella: "FLORA!"

Flora: "What?"

Stella: "CALM DOWN! (grabs Flora by the front of her nightgown and yells in her face) Or else you'll upset me, too, and then I'll raise MY voice AND THEN I-!"

Bloom: (now awake) "Stella? Flora? (Stella and Flora's attention goes to Bloom) For crying out loud, what are you doing?"

The hell did 4Idiots take those out for? They were funny!

The scene where Musa catches Riven hanging out with Darcy, then she herself gets caught by Icy and Stormy.

4Kids: Musa made a wart appear on Icy's face. LAME…

Icy: "You're not in the Harmonic realm anymore, princess. And your daddy and his hip hop palace guards aren't here to protect you anymore." (The hell! We already know by now that Musa's NOT a princess nor does she only focus on hip hop.)

Musa: "Complexion smear, warts adhere!" makes a wart form on Icy's face "It worked!" (- Sounds more like a witch spell to me…)

Icy: "How dare you! My flawless face!"

Stormy: "Wow this must be the single most disgusting wart I've ever seen."

Icy: "Nobody asked you!"

Rai: Musa, after being emotionally tormented, raises her hand and bitch-slaps Icy. THAT'S what really happened, not some stupid wart spell.

Icy: "Silly girl! You know, the other day, Riven said that he thinks NOTHING of you! Absolutely nothing!"

Musa: We see a close-up of Musa's eye as her pupil shrunk and tears welled up. She raises her hand. We then hear a smacking noise, which catches the attention of the witches in the café. Stormy looked shocked. Musa was also shocked, realizing what she just did. "Oh!"

Icy: "She… slapped me! She slapped me in the face!"

Stormy: "Whoa! I can even see the prints of her fingers! Does it hurt?"

Icy: "OF COURSE IT HURTS, DUMMY!"

4Kids can't even get their facts straight. We already know that Musa's not a princess from the concert episode, and her dad had pretty much banned music since his wife's death. The only princesses we know of who attend Alfea are Bloom, Stella, and Layla.

The slap makes for better drama, not to mention better drive for retaliation. And for the record, Musa's from Melody, NOT the Harmonic Realm. In the same episode, 4Kids Stella was supposedly spelled by a senior that made her say insensitive stuff. Rai Stella was more toned down, but she still said things to Musa that made her run off and Stella felt remorseful.

Also, Winx is simply a word Bloom made up from an inspiration of butterfly wings. It is NOT a power source that faeries draw upon as 4Kids stated.


 * Episode 11, "The Realm of Nymphs" (US: "Junior League" the hell?)

Scene: The girls getting annoyed at Flora's study habits.

4Kids:

Stella: "Flora, why don't you take your hippy-dippy research and go save a different planet!"

Flora: "That's not nice!"

Bloom: "Hey come on, guys! Stop fighting!"

Stella: "Her flower power has gone too far!"

Flora: "I'm close to finishing my new potion. It will protect us from the Witches!" (it's the Trix…)

Stella: "Well hold me off if it can work against dark magic! It'll be like, 'don't you dare mess with us or we'll hit you with a daisy and go herbal on you'!"

Bloom: "Hey, it's an alternative."

Stella: "It's out of control! It wasn't enough for her to turn your room into a stinky twenty-four-hour potion lab, she had to invade MY room with her veggies!" (they cut a scene, AGAIN!) "And now she crossed the line with those grabby little fashion victim plants! They're shrinking my clothes, using my make-up, they're self-absorbed mirror addicts!"

Flora: "They adapt to their environment."

Stella: "That's my Goblin Govanna (?)! It is my favorite dress! You see what's happening here? Oh, my poor poor clothes! Ah!"

Bloom: "Come on, they're just clothes."

Stella: "No, they're couteure! Do you know what that means? They're one of a kind! The shrinking's bad enough, but they're also mixing stripes with florals, it's like a horror show!" (and whatever dubs 4Kids makes is a horror in itself…)

Flora: "Maybe I can fix this. Tecna might know a counter spell."

(Flora enters Musa and Tecna's room. Musa's reading a music sheet.)

Flora: "Hey Musa, have you seen Tecna?"

Musa: "Naw, she's been off of the radar."

Flora: "I need to find a spell to unshrink couteure."

Musa: "Hey, doesn't the nocturnal ivy do something like that?"

Flora: "Oh yeah! I could combine it with a drop of sparkly parsley oil."

Tecna: (Flora opens closet, revealing a tied and gagged Tecna) "MMMPPHH! MMMPPPHH!"

Flora: "Tecna!"

Tecna: "MMMPPHHH!" (gets released) "Where have you been! All I wanted was a jacket and I got kidnapped by this psycho plant!"

Stella: "You see what Flora is doing to our living conditions?"

Musa: "Hear it, Flo? That's not cool. That stuff's not cool at all!" (this version is also NOT cool…)

Tecna: "Your plant also happened to eat my notebook. Is there any way to get it back?"

Flora: "Uh, get it back? Uh… no… ahah…"

Tecna: "What about a spell!"

Flora: "Whatever the ivy eats is pretty much gone…"

Tecna: "GREAT!"

Flora: "I really didn't think it would grow so fast! Sorry!"

Tecna: "What am I supposed to do, tell the teacher that a plant ate my homework! Oh yeah, she'll believe that!"

Stella: "This plant nonsense has gone too far! This is a dormitory, not a rain forest!"

Flora: "I understand. I'll move out to Blackmud Swamp, and I won't come back until I'm done with my potion."

Bloom: "You'll move out!"

Flora: "Yeah. I'm so sorry for all the trouble I've caused you."

Bloom: "You can't move to Blackmud Swamp! There are keekbugs, not to mention subterranean sludge slugs! She should stay, right? Tell her to stay!" (Flora leaves) "This is unbelievable… you guys call yourselves her friends and you let her go like that!"

Stella: "Her plants used all my make-up!"

Tecna: "And they ate all my homework!"

Bloom: "Flora's our friend, you guys! So she's made a couple of mistakes, that doesn't mean she has to go live in a swamp!" (Bloom leaves)

How this scene REALLY went down…

RAI:

Stella: "Oh but really! You've gone too far this time! I'm putting a stop to it!" (notice Flora didn't say anything here.)

Bloom: "Stella, what happened? What's going on?"

Stella: "Flora's overdoing it, as usual!"

Flora: "I'm just carrying out a couple of experiments. I've got an exam soon!"

Stella: "Ha! No kidding! You've been going on about it for a month! (mockingly) 'I'm gonna use the power of flowers to thwart the witches' evil spell'!"

Bloom: "So? What's wrong with that?"

Stella: "Huh, what's wrong with that? In case you haven't noticed, your room has become a humongous chemistry lab!"

(4Kids cut)

Flora: "Bloom gave me permission, and what's more she said she'll help me study."

Bloom: "I've already passed the simulator test, so uh…"

Stella: "Yeah, some test…"

Bloom: "Hey! I took on Icy, Darcy, and Stormy! It wasn't easy!"

Stella: "I know, I'm sorry, Bloom…"

Bloom: "Don't worry about it. I know you're all a bit nervous."

(end 4Kids cut)

Stella: "Don't worry about it! You should see my room! Okay, I gave Flora permission to put her flowers by my window sill (another 4Kids scene cut) because they need a lot of sunlight, but then she spread herself out and put a bunch of Melanoma Vericosa!"

Flora: "Mimosa Vainatosa!"

Stella: "Whatever! I mean she put them right next to my mirror, Bloom! My MIRROR!"

Flora: "Well it's normal. They feed off reflected light. Your mirror is huge, so it's perfect!"

Stella: "Uuugh! And you think THIS is NORMAL!" (points at said plant)

(end 4Kids cut)

Flora: "What's wrong?"

Stella: "They're trying on my clothes!"

Flora: "That's why they're called VAINatosa!"

Stella: "I don't care what they're called! Make them stop right now! Oh! My clothes! Bloom, my beautiful clothes! Ah!"

Bloom: "Stella, it's not that bad."

Stella: "Oh yes it is! They're wearing my shoes! They're even using my make-up! And look at them! They have no taste whatsoever! Their outfits don't even match!"

Bloom: "What do you expect? They're just plants."

Flora: "Tecna doesn't complain about it!"

(Flora enters Musa and Tecna's room. Musa's reading a BOOK, not a music sheet. Why did 4Kids think it necessary to change the book to a music sheet? Overemphasis at work there… or they must think Musa reading a book is offensive somehow…)

Flora: "Musa, have you seen Tecna?"

Musa: "No, haven't seen her since this morning."

Flora: "Are you guys having any trouble with my plants?"

Musa: "Huh? What do you mean? We have plants in our room?"

Flora: "Um, yes, I asked Tecna to keep a few seeds in the dark inside her closet."

Tecna: (Flora opens closet, revealing a tied and gagged Tecna) "MMMPPHH! MMMPPPHH!"

Flora: "Tecna!"

Tecna: "MMMPPHHH!" (gets released) "It's about time! Ugh! I was just looking for a pair of trousers, when this creepy crawly thing grabbed me!"

Stella: "Musa, she was in there all day and you didn't notice a thing!"

Musa: "I am not in the habit of snooping in other people's closets."

Tecna: "Okay, I'll keep my cool, but I'd really like to know what kind of seeds they were."

Flora: "Uh… they were… uh… Triple S's… eh heh…"

Tecna: "Triple S's?"

Flora: "Secoya Separifalis Swifta…"

Tecna: "WHAT!"

Flora: "I didn't think they would grow so fast! I swear to you I had no idea!"

Tecna: "Okay Tecna, don't go bananas, take a deep breath (breathes in) and let's remain calm…"

Flora: "Oh Tecna, I'm so sorry…"

Stella: "It's all well and good, Flora, but I think that, ugh, those killer string beans have got to go."

Flora: "You're right. I'll come and get everything in a sec, then I'll take myself and my stuff over to Blackmud Swamp."

Bloom: "Blackmud Swamp?"

Flora: "The rooms at Alfea are not suited for my experiments."

Bloom: "But you can't move to the swamp! We all know that the place is horrible! We don't want you to go there! Right? Girls? Is that a yes or a no?" (Flora leaves) "I don't believe this. Flora was just trying to prepare for her big exam!"

Stella: "Bloom, we all have to study, but when we study, we don't tear up her clothes."

Tecna: "Nor do we try to strangle her."

(4Kids cut. Bloom pleads with the others, and accidentally drops Kiko to the floor)

Bloom: "Oh come on, girls, don't be so hard on her. Flora's exam is coming up soon and… uh… anyway, I…" (end 4Kids cut) "Well I promised Flora that I'd help her, and where I come from, promises are kept, alright!" (Bloom leaves)

This scene alone had a bunch of cuts in it.

Scene: the girls at Blackmud Swamp.

4Kids:

Flora: "Thank you so much for coming! Only true friends would follow me into this swamp!"

Stella: "Hey… wouldn't miss it for anything…"

Musa: "Yo Flo, we're your peeps! For better or for worse!"

Bloom: "Worse includes the occasional fashion fiasco, right Stel?" (materialism overemphasis again…)

Stella: "You know what they say, all for one and one for all."

Flora: "Oh, wonderful! I'll need your help to get this ingredient. It won't be easy. This is it, the Cheerful Gladiolos!"

Stella: "If that's it, couldn't you have had it delivered? It's a flower!"

Flora: "Actually, there's only one left in the world. The BMJL has it." (WTF? "BMJL?")

Musa: "Hey! That sounds like a hip-hop group!"

Flora: "Nuh-uh. It's the BlackMud Junior League. You know, they do volunteer work around here." (Uhhh… right…)

Stella: "Oh! That's like the Solaria Junior League! I got the sweetest shoes at their selling auction!" (over-emphasis on materialism again…)

Flora: "This one's run by the undines, little water nymphs. They've ruled this swamp for centuries."

Stella: "Reality check, Flora, you're gonna ask them for the last Cheerful Gladiolos! Why would they ever give it to you?"

Flora: "I don't expect them to. That's why I've developed a potion especially for this. All I need is to borrow the flower and use a drop of my invention. I call it the vegal cloner."

Bloom: "Cool!"

Flora: "This way, the flower won't be endangered anymore."

Bloom: "So let's go and get that flower, but we'll leave Kiko here. He'll be safer that way."

Stella: "Speaking of being safer, I think that I should stay here, too!"

Musa: "Get your booty moving now!"

Stella: "But I have this bad feeling! It's creeping me out!"

Musa: "Any place five miles away from the mall creeps you out."

Stella: "No, I'm telling you, I feel like there's something out there!"

(shows shot of the monster they'll meet at the end of the ep. Oh yeah, do an early spoiler in the beginning, why don't you? Idiots…)

How it REALLY went down…

RAI:

Flora: "I still can't believe it! I never thought you'd have followed me here!"

Stella: "Yeah… me neither…"

Musa: "The truth is we couldn't let you come here by yourself."

Bloom: "They may be a bit grumpy sometimes, but they care about you."

Stella: "ANYWAY, I hope this camping trip doesn't last too long."

Flora: "If you all help me find this magic flower, it won't last long at all. See? This is the Cheerful Gladiolos."

Stella: "That's a pretty flower, but are you sure it can be found around here?"

Flora: "Absolutely! The ecosystem of this swamp is quite diversified."

Musa: "And what do you need it for, exactly?"

Flora: "The essence of the Cheerful Gladiolos is an antidote for the witches' sadness spell. *giggle*"

Stella: "Very well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go and get the flower so we can get back."

Flora: "It's not as easy as that. It's a very skittish flower. It doesn't let itself be picked."

Stella: "Don't tell me we're gonna have to coax it into following us of its own free will! I've had it with walking plants!"

Flora: "Actually, we just have to ask the flower to extend one of its petals, and then I'll use a drop of this mixture, one of my inventions, and check this out."

Musa: "That was fast!" (notice that it was MUSA who spoke, NOT Bloom. What were you thinking, 4Crap?)

Flora: "I can create an infinite number of artificial petals!"

Bloom: (4Crap cut: Bloom rubs her hands together as if getting ready to get her hands dirty, so to speak) "This is great! Let's get to work right away!" (end 4Crap cut. Why did they even feel to cut that?) "Kiko, you stay right here, okay? The swamp is not a good place for you to walk about."

Stella: "Can I stay, too? I won't wander off, I promise! Cross my heart!"

Musa: "Stella, please! Don't start complaining already!"

Stella: "Who's complaining? I was just asking a simple question… Then we'll go right back to Alfea, right?"

Bloom, Flora, Musa, and Tecna: "STELLA!"

(shows shot of the CAMP as they leave, NOT the monster, which won't be seen until the END of the episode, where it's supposed to be! At least this way, the viewer is left to wonder what will happen. As Peter Venkman of the Real Ghostbusters said, "Why don't you ever allow us the thrill of discovery?")

Scene : The girls encounter the Undines

4Kids:

Stella: "Ugh… I can't wait until we find the Nymphs and go back to civilization!"

Musa: "Chillax!"

Stella: "Not that I can't handle a little swamp."

Musa: "Yeah right! You couldn't even handle a kiddy pool if it was in the garden of your castle in Solaria!"

Stella: "Please! I've travelled all over the universe! I've been in far harsher environments then- (trips) AAHH!"

Musa: "She's over there."

Bloom: "Oh! Are you okay?"

Stella: "No, I'm not okay, I'm a princess! I shouldn't be subjected to slimy environments and neither should my shoes! Just find those stupid Nymphs!"

Flora: "Uh, hey, quiet…"

Stella: "No listen! I bet those Nymphs don't even exist! You- (Flora grabs her mouth) mmph!"

Flora: "That's them."

(see the Undines floating about)

Bloom: "They're so little!"

Stella: "Is that why they call them the Junior League?" (There is NO league!)

Musa: "They're like tiny mermaids."

Bloom: "Yeah! They are so cute!"

Musa: "Yeah, is that their crib?"

Stella: (shot of bubble houses) "Yeah, that must be where they live!"

Bloom: "Awesome! What are those things? Those little bubbles?"

Flora: "It's really cool. Each bubble is a little personal sleeping pod that houses one Nymph."

Undine 1: "Well hello! Welcome to the Blackmud Swap Junior League Headquarters, ladies. I suppose you are here to get tickets for the literacy for butterflies tea party benefits?" (The hell?)

Undine 2: "There aren't any left, but we could put your names on the wait list. Follow us."

How it's SUPPOSED to play out…

RAI:

(A shot of the swamp which 4Kids cut out)

Stella: "Oh no! Why oh why are swamps… so…"

Musa: "Swampy?"

Stella: "Your comments are uncalled for, Musa…"

Musa: "So is your outfit. For goodness sake, this is a muddy swamp, not a fashion show!"

Stella: "What does that have to do with anything? A Winx is always a Winx, and- (trips) AAHH!"

Musa: "Stella! She's over there!"

Bloom: "Stella, are you okay?"

Stella: "No I'm not okay… I'm tired and dirty and my feet are killing me from all that walking about If only we'd find these stupid flowers!"

Flora: "Hush! Quiet!"

Stella: "No! I refuse to be quiet! You said we'd find them and- (Flora grabs her mouth) mmph!"

Flora: "Look, Stella! There, on the water."

(See the Undines floating about. Notice Bloom, Stella, and Musa do NOT speak during this scene. A 4Kids cut of the Undines floating about and passing by a frog, then dives under. End 4Kids cut.)

Bloom: "Wow, they're so beautiful…"

Musa: "Yes, and they're so tiny!"

(4Crap cut, AGAIN!)

Stella: (bites Flora's hand to make her let go) "Hu… ngh!"

Flora: "AAAH!"

Undine 1: (startled) "Groundwalkers! Let's go, quick!"

(She, the other Undine, and the frog quickly retreat)

Flora: "No no, wait wait! Please, we don't want to hurt you, we're your friends, and we need your help..."

(Undines peek out from behind some petals. Scene change to the Undines guiding the Winx to their home)

Flora: "What an amazing place! I mean look at all the flowers! The lilies and gladioli, the water nymphs were right to bring us here. I'm sure we'll be able to find what we're looking for."

Stella: "Gasp!"

Flora: "What is it, Stella? A cat got your tongue or what?"

Stella: "Look down there, in the water!" (points at the bubble homes of the Undines)

(End 4Crap cut)

Bloom: "It's a miniature city!"

Flora: "Fascinating! The water nymphs live in air bubbles under the leaf of a water lily!"

Undine 1: (surfaces) "We don't mean to be rude or anything, but, uh, we have a bit of a problem. See, we can't really invite you into our house. You're kind of big, we have no room."

Undine 2: "But our Queen has expressed the wish to meet you. Follow us."

The water nymphs or Undines are another kingdom, but 4Idiots went and turned them into a damn book club! What the hell!

Scene – meeting the Nymph queen

4Crap:

Queen: "This literacy for butterflies benefit will be an event to remember. It will be bigger than our annual swamp palace tour!" (Uhh….. what?)

Stella: "The thing is, that's not why we're here, Your… should I call her Your Littleness or Your Highness?"

Bloom: "Majesty! Try Your Majesty!"

Queen: "So you must be here to volunteer for our polliwog playground improvement project!" (Uhh… WHAT?)

Flora: "Actually, we're here because we need to borrow your Cheerful Gladiolos."

Queen: "A big request. May I ask why you need the last flower?"

Flora: "Sure. It's the one ingredient I'm missing to finish my witch repellant potion."

Queen: "Well that's interesting, because we might need something from you. Please excuse me if this is unladylike, but, tell them, Mitchreal…"

Nymph: "We are in very dire straits. Are you at all good with monsters?"

Bloom: "What? A monster's after you?"

Queen: "Allow me to explain. That is Zillith Island. It is the one place in this swamp where our food grows. We had full access to this island and its Zilleth leaves until a giant water creature attacked us. Now we cannot go anywhere near it or the monster will eat us…"

Bloom: "Why is he attacking you?"

Queen: "We don't know. All the creatures in this swamp have lived in harmony for as long as anyone can remember."

Nymph: "But all that's changed and I'm afraid we are in terrible trouble. We might put up a good front, but the truth is our food supply is so low, some of us won't last past tomorrow!"

Queen: "Things are so desperate that a few nights ago, one of our members snuck over there all by herself. It was brave but foolish…"

Bloom: "Oh no… what happened to her?"

Queen: "She never came back…"

Flora: "That's horrible…"

Queen: "I hate to impose, but you're big and perhaps you can help us?"

Bloom: "Sure! Of course! We'll help you!"

Musa: "I'm with Bloom!"

Bloom: "Let's go, girls!"

Tecna: "Yeah!"

Flora: "Let's get that monster!"

(transformation)

(go to girls flying over swamp)

RAI:

Queen: "We are very happy to have you here! You see, we don't often receive visitors."

Stella: "Thank you for your warm welcome, Your… uh… think I should say Your Littleness instead of Your Highness?"

Bloom: "Majesty! Try Your Majesty!"

Queen: "You must have had a very long journey. You all look a bit tired. May I offer you some refreshments?"

Flora: "Actually, all we really want is to touch the petal of a Cheerful Gladiolus. May we?"

Queen: "Of course you may. I can tell you have a lot of respect for nature."

Flora: "But…it seems almost incredible that nobody's ever met you before."

Queen: "We keep a low profile. We know where to hide when we need to. And then, so few creature ever come around here. There must be a reason…"

Nymph: "Perhaps you've heard of something called the Great Monster of Black Island?"

Bloom: "What? A monster lives around here?"

Queen: "Yes, quite unfortunately. If you look over that way, right behind the fog bank, you'll see an island right in the middle of the swamp. And in a deep underwater cave under the island is where that horrible creature lives. It's a gigantic evil being which threatens my people daily."

Bloom: "Why don't you move somewhere else?"

Queen: "Because our survival depends on a plant called Zillith, and it can only be found on that island. With great patience and more effort, we are able to make a strong and transparent type of material."

Nymph: "That's what we use to manufacture the bubbles in which we live. (4Crap cut of a shot of the bubble city) Without the Zillith, we'd have to live above water where predators await! But the Black Island Monster makes it very difficult to gather Zillith leaves."

Queen: "Every once in a while, one of us volunteers to go to the island and try to pick at least one leaf, and this time, it was Luzis's turn."

Bloom: "Why? What's wrong? What happened to Luzis?"

Queen: "She never came back…"

Flora: "That's terrible…"

Queen: "It's our destiny. We've been living like this for quite some time."

Bloom: "Well, I say it's high time things changed! You ready, girls?"

Flora: "Ready when you are, Bloom!" (notice Musa and Tecna had NO lines here)

(transformation)

(4Crap cut)

Queen: "Marvelous!"

(Shot of the girls looking at the Nymphs. Scene change to a panning of a swamp and to a 3-eyed owl)

(End 4Crap cut)

(go to girls flying over swamp)

(4Crap cut of Bloom's feet skimming over the water)

Once again, useless content changes at work as well as taking advantage of off-screen talking.

Another scene. This was cut completely from 4Crap

RAI:

(after Musa gets swallowed by the monster)

(Underwater view of Bloom, Stella, Flora, and Tecna. Then it goes to a shot just at the water's surface as something swims towards the girls and reaches their feet. Stella notices the movement and quickly fires a light beam into the water. Later, a dead fish floats to the surface, complete with X-eyes.)

Stella: "Gasp! …. Whoopsie…"

Sheesh, why did they cut that part out?


 * Miss Magix (shockingly enough, the title is unchanged in both versions)

4Kids:

The Trix put an illusion spell on Lucy to make her beautiful so that she'd be able to beat Stella in the beauty pageant, screwing her over.

Rai:

Same thing, but with entirely different objectives. The Trix didn't even know that Stella was a contestant. So why did they decide to help Lucy? They're not exactly charitable, so something's up. I'll get to that part later…

Scene, the hallway incident…

4Kids:

Bloom sees a crying girl who's voice got all squeaky (courtesy of Trix) and goes out of the running.

Rai:

Bloom sees same girl, but it was because her hair had suddenly poofed out into a fro. Bloom reaches out and pokes it, almost like rubber, making the girl cry even more. Bloom regrets doing that and tries to console her, but then Stella puts her foot in her mouth when she peeks out from behind the door and says "Whoa! What is that?" (Bloom slaps herself on the head)

Had to put this in. In the episode, the Trix used magic to screw over all the other contestants and started laughing their butts off. In one scene in the Rai version, Stormy had a pantie shot while she was on her back. 4Kids covered this up by making her skirt lengthened and tightened.

Scene, before Lucy comes up.

4Kids:

Host: "Oi… let's move on to our next contestant, Miss Popularus." ('POPULARUS!' WTF IS THIS!)

Icy: "Hope she enjoys this. She'll be paying for it all year."

Darcy & Stormy: (laughing)

Rai:

Host: (exasperated) "We will now take a short break before resuming the competition!"

Icy: "Yeah, a SHORT break, or else I'm gonna have to break his neck." (Wow, Icy's violent)

Darcy & Stormy: (laughing)

(For the record, Lucy uses her real name in the Rai version, not some cheap-*** fake name like 'Miss Popularus')

The crowning scene

4Kids:

(Lucy gets crowned winner)

Bloom: "Something's not right. I bet she's using magic! 'If there's magic here, remove it now, show us what's real when she takes a bow!' " (Yeah, another thing I hate about this: cliched rhyming verse spells… chanting things in ancient tongues is a hell of a lot cooler than this.)

(Lucy gets exposed and is booed off the stage)

Host: "Miss Popularus is disqualified!"

(The Trix get up and leave)

Icy: "Oh well. She's still doing all our homework."

Rai:

(Lucy gets crowned winner)

(This is the Trix REAL objective for helping Lucy that I mentioned before. Bloom NEVER showed up and exposed Lucy. That was just something 4Kids added in. What REALLY happened was that Icy undoes the spell herself. Lucy spasms and reverts to herself. Soon, the audience started to boo her off the stage. The Trix smirk deviously and get up to leave. Lucy runs off crying. The Trix only helped her to win the contest so that they could expose her themselves and humiliate her onstage, destroying her dream. To the Trix, it was all just for a quick laugh. Man, even to their own, they're ruthless… This just shows how incredibly *****y they can be.)

Scene, Stella takes her test.

4Kids: 

(Palladium transports Stella to a random dead planet to survive in. Stella gets caught I her own growth spell and had to be pulled out.)

Palladium: "Your strategy was very promising, I can tell you studied. It's a shame it ended like that…"

Stella: "It's a shame…?"

Palladium: "The chamber will take your entire performance into consideration, and then assign you wiher a pass or a fail. (Stella walks back to her seat) …. Here it is! You passed!"

Rai:

(Palladium transports Stella to DOMINO, Bloom's planet, where she will try to terraform it, as she said she was going to finish what Bloom started. Stella gets caught I her own growth spell and had to be pulled out.)

Palladium: "Stella, from what I'v seen today, you weren't really prepared for the test, am I right?"

Stella: "Yes, Professor…"

Palladium: "As much as it breaks my heart to see my students fail, I can't help but give you an F, Stella. You didn't do the work! Now if you want to succeed, better set your shoulder to the wheel, and hurry! (Stella walks back to her seat) Because the longer you wait, the harder it will be for you to catch up!"

Bloom: "Hear that? You can still do it!"

Very weird. In 4Kids, Stella passes her test, but in Rai, she flunks it. Just like in Bloom's physical examination, 4Kids had her flunk but in Rai she passes. 4Kids got their facts backwards. Bloom was SUPPOSED to pass her examination to show that she's progressing well as a Faerie, and Stella was supposed to flunk due to her irresponsibility. There's no denying that Stella totally screwed up her exam due to the fatigue of pulling an all-nighter, so her flunking the test was understandable.


 * Season 1, Bloom's Dark Secret (US: Witch Trap), 4Kids cuts out huge sections of Bloom's physical exam where she had to grab an encased rose and place it on a pedestal without getting hit.

4Kids:

As Bloom was about to place the rose orb on the pedestal, Faragonda makes an ice boulder appear and drop on her. It then immediately cuts to the café scene where she tells Sky that she screwed up her exam.

Rai:

Same thing. Faragonda makes the ice boulder drop on Bloom, but she blows it up with a fireball, and then places the rose orb on the pedestal, thus passing. The Winx girls cheer at Bloom's success and Faragonda smiles at Bloom's quick thinking. Bloom reverts back and winks. Then it goes to her café date with Sky.

How stupid. In Rai, Bloom passes, but in 4Kids, they made her flunk. Why the hell did 4Kids make Bloom suck up for!


 * 4Kids totally mangled a subplot in the first season. In 4Kids, they made Riven get put under a spell by Darcy that makes him follow her. In Rai, he sided with the Trix of his own free will (makes him an even bigger ******* as he actually betrayed his real friends of his own accord.)

Riven only finally realized that the Trix were totally evil when they locked him up in Cloud Tower once they felt like he's outlived his usefulness. 4Kids completely cuts out an entire scene where Riven take a long hard look at himself. Darcy and Stormy decided to mess with him and pulls a "kage bushin no jutsu", making six clones of Riven to appear in the cell with him. He tries to ward off the clones that seem to mock him. Suddenly, all the clones melt and merge to become a hideous freak of a monster who stares Riven down and makes him nearly cry like a pussy. Riven felt the torment as the monster continues to stare him down… or is it? Finally, Riven realizes that the monster in the cell with him is acting like his reflection. Specifically, the ugly monster served as a reflection of Riven's soul considering his past actions, making him finally realize that he had been a complete asshole and betrayed the people who are his real friends and that he had played a part in the Trix's takeover.

Riven: "There are many things I don't like about myself, but I'm far from being a monster, okay? I have a heart! And even though I can't be sure if they are able to forgive me for all the things I've said and done... I have a few friends, too..."

The monster then vanishes.

Way to go, ******* 4Kids, for cutting out the important plot devices!



Voice actors:
Layla: Vasthy Mompoint

Stella: Christina Rodriguez (changed)

Other differences

 * Name changes: Aisha was changed to Layla
 * Episode 1, The Shadow Phoenix.4Kids: Episode starts off with Bloom at Alfea and meeting up with the other girls after returning for 2nd year. Then she finds the hidden library where she meets Concorta the pixie. For some reason, they made her like a fortune teller and she shows Bloom the whole scene with Layla breaking into Shadowhaunt. She goes on to tell Bloom that she will meet Layla later on. Nice, 4Kids, do a spoiler in the beginning, why don't you?

Rai: The episode IMMEDIATELY starts off with Layla breaking into Shadowhaunt to rescue the pixies. The scene with Bloom in Alfea doesn't come until later on. Concorta doesn't do that fortune-teller bull, but rather explain to Bloom about pixies since this was the first time Bloom's ever encountered one as well as the pixie pets there. Bloom and the others don't even get a mention of Layla until she arrives at Alfea barely alive at the end of the episode. Scene: Darkar intercepts Layla and the pixies
 * 4Kids:

Darkar: "Look, it's a bird! No, it's a man! NO! It's LORD DARKAR!" (Is this guy a villain or a nerd?)

Darkar: "Now hand over the pixies right now!"

Layla: "No way, no how!"

Darkar: "Now that kind of attitude is no fun at all! No matter. You'll have to talk to the hand! (shoots Layla) 'Cause the face don't wanna hear it!" (again, this sounds fruity)

Darkar stabs at Layla, who quickly blocks

Darkar: "You think you have a chance! That's funny!" (Not as funny as your face and miscasted voice…)

Layla: "Give me back the pixies!"

Darkar: "I'd rather not!" (shoots at her, then engulfs her in a shadow) "Now you shall feel the shadow, and it will be the last thing you'll ever feel!" (throws Layla off the cliff) "Who's the loser now? Hahahahaha!" (I still think it's you for your lame-*** lines)

Rai:

Darkar: "Foolish girl, you barely have the strength to stand. Hand over the pixies!"

Layla: "Never! I won't let you have them!

Darkar: "I find your meaningless bravery tiresome, but no matter. Time for you to pay for your mistakes, girl! (shoots Layla)"

(Darkar stabs at Layla, who quickly blocks)

Darkar: "But, but how is that possible? You should be too weak!"

Layla: "It's not so easy to beat a faerie!"

Darkar: "Isn't it!" (shoots at her, then engulfs her in a shadow, then throws her off the cliff) "Goodbye, faerie! No one could survive a fall from this height."

Just keep it simple.

4Kids Darkar sounded so fruity…. While Rai Darkar actually sounded evil.

Scene: Meeting Layla…

4Kids:

Flora: "Bloom, I sense a strange disturbance…"

Bloom: "Where?"

Flora: "It's coming from the East Woods…"

Stella: "That was the best party ev- hey, where're you going, Bloom?"

Bloom: (sees Layla limping through the woods) "Look!" (Layla gets to Bloom, standing on sheer willpower) "Hey, are you okay?" (Layla collapses.)

Musa: "Is she okay, Bloom?"

Tecna: (sends out her robo bug to scan Layla) "I've upgraded my PBA. I'll have it do a magi-scan." (recalls bug and looks at results.) "She's a princess! From the Realm of Tides!" (It's Andros…)

Bloom: (cradles Layla) "Come on! Please wake up!"

Stella: (Piff bounces out.) "Eeeee! What is that?"

Bloom: "It's a baby Pixie!" (picks up Piff) "She's so sleepy. Gasp!" (looks at Layla) "This is just like the psychic said! 'A fairy with long flowing hair and a sleepy baby Pixie'!" (lame prophecy…)

Musa: "What else did she say?" (Musa wasn't even supposed to speak here…)

Bloom: "That there's going to be adventure and darkness like nothing we've ever seen before…" (lame prophecy part 2…)

Rai:

Flora: "Hey Bloom…"

Bloom: "Yes?"

Flora: "Something's wrong with the trees…"

Stella: "Bye, guys!" (sees Bloom walking off) "What are you doing? Where're you going?"

Bloom: (sees Layla limping through the woods. Bloom gasps in horror as Layla approaches her, standing on sheer willpower) "My! Are you okay!" (Layla collapses)

(cut from 4Kids was a panning shot of the rest of the girls' scared reactions)

Musa: "Bloom, is she all right?"

Tecna: "Hmmm…" (sends out her robo bug to scan Layla, then recalls it to look at the diagnostic) "She's fine. She's just exhausted." (checking her condition WOULD take priority over checking her identity in a situation like this, doesn't it?)

Bloom: (cradles Layla) "Come on, wake up… come on, come on…"

Stella: (Piff bounces out) "Eeeee! What is that?"

Bloom: "It looks like…" (picks up Piff) "… a Pixie! It is! It's a Pixie!" (looks at Layla) "But why would she have a Pixie? Who is this girl? What could've happened to her?" (this makes for a better cliff-hanger than that psychic reading crap 4Kids threw in for no reason) Faragonda sends Bloom, Stella, and Layla to rescue the pixies. The matter of how they were the only ones chosen were completely different in each version. Of course, Rai's version is the superior one.4Kids:
 * Episode 3, Rescue Mission

The Winx girls want to raid Shadowhaunt to rescue the pixies, but Faragonda says no as the place is just too dangerous for normal faeries and that the only ones who're qualified to go are those who pass a "test that even instructors only have 25% chance of passing". Bloom and the others keep insisting that they can handle it (insisting the whole way through until getting to the main hall), so Faragonda finally decides to put them all through the "test". She makes an illusion of Shadowhaunt's environment. In this, they basically made Flora, Musa, and Tecna suck up (Tecna: "I couldn't even transform!"), then shows that Bloom, Stella, and Layla managed to successfully fight off the monsters there (this also seems suspicious as I'll reveal later), so therefore, those three pass the "test". Faragonda said even instructors had little chance of passing this one? Either those girls were really good, really lucky, or the faculty is just lacking...

Faragonda's meeting…

Faragonda: "I won't allow it! I simply won't allow it! The Under-realm is dangerous enough, but going to Shadowhaunt is out of the question! I went there for research during my doctorate at magical disciplines, but I barely made it out!"

Stella: "Hey! Remember, we're the girls that went to Sparx! And we faced down that snow abomination!" (It's DOMINO…)

Faragonda: "The Under-realm is very different! It is far worse than anything you have ever encountered!"

Stella: "So? It'll be a challenge! We can totally do it, Ms. F! Just give us a chance!"

Faragonda: "I'm sorry, girls. I love confidence in my students, but it doesn't matter how confident you are, because most likely, your powers won't even work in Shadowhaunt! That's the way it is!"

Musa: "With all due respect, no realm is gonna cramp my powers, Ms. Faragonda."

Faragonda: "The problem is that it's not up to you at all. The Under-Realm acts on its own, and in ways that are not only dark, but unpredictable."

Bloom: "But we have to go! The pixies need us!"

Faragonda: "Try to understand! Shadowhaunt is so dangerous, that even as a magical doctoral student, I couldn't go without first passing a survival test that was so hard, most of my classmates failed! You wouldn't want to take that test." (made-up crap by crappy 4Kids…)

Bloom: "Ms. Faragonda! Ms. Faragonda, wait up!"

(The girls follow Faragonda out of the room and into the hall)

Bloom: "Ms. Faragonda! We want to take the test!"

Faragonda: "We'll find another way to get the pixies back!"

Bloom: "Come on! At least let us try!"

Flora: "Yeah! If we fail the test, we'll back off."

Faragonda: "It's such a difficult test that more than three quarters of those who take it fail."

Tecna: "A twenty-five percent chance of passing is better than no chance at all."

Faragonda: "There is one more thing you should know about the test. Everything in it is REAL." (That's funny, considering this "test" isn't even real itself in the original…)

Flora: "You mean it's like the Magical Reality Chamber?"

Faragonda: "That's correct, so if something hurts you, it will hurt, and you will experience real pain!"

Bloom: "We can handle it!"

Stella: "Yeah! We can… eh…"

Faragonda: "The test puts you in the Under-realm environment to assess your resistance to it, so if you are not able to use your powers, you won't be able to protect yourselves at all."

Musa: "My dad says it's cool to try and fail, but not trying is not cool." (This line is not cool, either…)

Faragonda: "Very well, then. Follow me."

(in the Main Hall)

Faragonda: "You will take the test right here in the great hall. Stand there." (Backs up.) "Realm of good and light erase, Let evil darkness fill this space!" (transforms area) "Now try to survive!" (Crappy rhyming verse casting at work…)

(Shows transformation sequence of Flora and Musa)

Flora: (her powers don't respond) "I don't know what's happening! I can't use my powers at all!"

Musa: "It's okay, Flora. I can get us out of here with a sound blast!" (shoots a blast which rocks the cave.) "What happened!"

Tecna: "The cave seems to have magnified your powers! It's out of control!"

(Everyone dodges the falling rocks)

Musa: (shadow monsters appear) "Monsters! Look out!" (Uh… this scene's not even supposed to BE here…)

Stella: "Bloom! Layla! Let's go!" (Nor are these crappy line changes…)

(Bloom, Stella, and Layla transformation sequences. They fight off the monsters. Actually, this scene was pulled from the ACTUAL fighting in Shadowhaunt. Notice that when Layla transformed here, she was in her exploration gear, NOT in her casuals. Stupid idiots, what were they trying to accomplish throwing in a scene where it didn't belong in!)

Faragonda: (dispels the illusion) "Bloom, Stella, Layla, you pass."

Stella: "That really was a hard test…" (This "test" wasn't even supposed to HAPPEN!)

Tecna: "Yeah, I couldn't even transform… I felt quite inept…" (turning Tecna into a screw-up…)

Faragonda: "It's okay, Musa. Everyone's magic is different. I assure you, we'll need your powers on other missions."

Okay you saw the retarded way, now here's what REALLY happened…

Rai:

In this one, Faragonda summons the Winx girls to explain her plan of action. She says that she can't send any faculty members since they are needed at the school should Darkar try to pay them a visit (a plothole that 4Kids made. Earlier, Faragonda had a secret meeting with the 4 Pixie Leaders about the 4 pieces of the Codex each was in charge of). Originally, Faragonda CHOSE to have Bloom, Stella, and Layla to raid Shadowhaunt in the beginning while specifically saying that Flora, Musa, and Tecna should stay behind. She actually has VERY good reasoning for this (Faragonda: "Each of you has powers better suited to some missions than others. Would you send a frog to live in a hot dry desert?"). It made a lot of sense. 1. Tecna, being a tecno faerie, can help monitor the mission at Alfea. 2. Layla is going because she's already familiar with Shadowhaunt's area. Nothing gained if you go in blind. 3. Stella is a faerie of light. Shadowhaunt has monsters of darkness. Last I checked, light is strong against dark and vice versa. Of course, bringing her would make sense. 4. Bloom possesses the freakin' Dragon's Flame, which pretty much makes her the powerhouse of the group. Fire is associated with light, anyway. Flora and Musa complain to Faragonda about why they can't go, so Faragonda decides to show them (this is the "test" part in the 4Kids version). She creates the Shadowhaunt environment, and despite engulfing all the girls in it, she specifically asks Flora and Musa to try and defend themselves. Flora couldn't do anything because there's no plantlife down there, rendering her powers useless. Musa still had sound, but they were in a CAVE. Loud noise + cave = cave-ins. Musa screams as she was about to get crushed by a falling boulder (4Kids cut this part out), but then Faragonda dispels the illusion. The whole point of that was to show that they'd be a liability and that they'd place themselves and the others in danger (basically a suicide mission for them and Musa takes this rather personally). The illusion didn't even have the monsters in it, nor did Bloom, Stella, and Layla transform in it AT ALL. 4Kids just pulled that part out from scenes of the actual Shadowhaunt fight.

Faragonda's meeting…

Faragonda: "My dear girls, as you may have guessed, the reason I've asked you to come here is to organize a rescue mission. As you know, fairies and pixies have always been the closest of friends, so we must free them at any cost!"

Stella: "At any cost, huh? Does that mean we get to skip classes and still get full credits?"

Faragonda: "After everything Layla has gone through, can't you think of something other than skipping classes?"

Stella: "Well, actually, it's just that if it's such a dangerous mission, why not send the professors?" (the other girls voice their displeasure at her question.) "What?"

Faragonda: "No no, that's all right. Stella has raised a very good point."

Stella: (giggles cutely while playing with a tress of her hair.)

Faragonda: "As professors, our job is to guide our students, and in case of an emergency, we have to be available to help everyone."

Musa: "So in other words, it's up to us to turn this prince into a pauper?"

Faragonda: "You all showed great skill in your fight against the Trix, however, the pixies are your priority now. It is not wise to challenge an unknown enemy."

Bloom: "So we should avoid direct confrontation?"

Faragonda: "Exactly."

(Cut from moronic 4Kids)

Faragonda: (flashback to Darkar sucking the pixies dry of their power) "Don't forget, this dark knight absorbs magic energy."

Tecna: "That means he could turn our powers against us!"

(end cut)

Faragonda: "Layla will be your guide. She's the only one who can find the entrance to the cave. I want you to look for clues that can help us discover the identity of this evil creature. Now, follow me."

(The girls follow Faragonda out of the room and into the hall)

Faragonda: "Now I'd like to point out that some of you will not be taking part in this rescue mission."

Bloom: "But we do everything together!"

Flora: "Yes! And no one gets left behind ever!"

Faragonda: "Each of you has powers better suited to some missions than others. Would you send a frog to live in a hot dry desert?" (The nearby pixie frog quickly shakes its head at the question)

Tecna: "I wouldn't want to be the poor frog. I'd dry out in about 1.4 hours."

Faragonda: "You don't have to worry about that, Tecna. You'll stay at Alfea."

Flora: "Uh… excuse me, but her tecno magic-"

Faragonda: "Will help us monitor the situation from here. Bloom and Stella will go on the mission."

Bloom: "But why only us two?"

Stella: "Yeah, why?"

Faragonda: "Because Bloom possesses the Dragon's Fire, the strongest magic of all, while Stella's sun magic will be very helpful should they ever come up against the shadow monsters."

Musa: "What about Flora's plants? My sound waves? Aren't they worth anything?"

Faragonda: "Come into the hall, please."

(in the Main Hall)

Faragonda: "Wait here, girls."(Backs up.)

(4Kids cut)

Flora: (a scan shot of the girls looking confused) "What is she doing?" (Layla shrugs)

(end 4Kids cut)

Faragonda: "Nimbus palax ohir et sinjay pavas!" (transforms area) "Musa, Flora! Use your spells!" (Ancient tongue incantations are a hell of a lot better than lame-ass rhyme verses.)

(Notice that they skipped the transformation sequences all together.)

Flora: "Ready!" (tries to use her magic, but fails) "Nothing is working! There're no living plants down here!"

Musa: "But we still got sound! Everyone stand back!" (shoots a blast which rocks the cave.) "Oh no! It's echoing!"

Tecna: "Oh no! The vibrations are causing a cave-in!"

(Everyone dodges the falling rocks)

(4Kids cut)

(A shot of the cave ceiling, where a huge boulder was getting shook loose. The boulder breaks free and drops towards a horrified Musa.)

Musa: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

(Seen from Musa's POV of the boulder as it drops on her, blackening out the screen, then goes to Faragonda.)

(End 4Kids cut)

(Notice that Bloom, Stella, and Layla don't even transform in this whole scene at all nor do those monsters appear. That scene is where is should be in the next episode.)

Faragonda: (dispels the illusion)

Stella: "Whew! Is the cave really like that?"

Tecna: "Wow, that was even better than the computer-controlled simulator."

Faragonda: "Musa, listen to me. You're just as important as your friends. Your powers will be needed soon enough."

THIS is how it really happened! Not some dumb-ass test! Honestly, 4Kids must think the viewers are stupid or something...

Some more pointless line changing.

Layla meets the boys.

4Kids:

Tecna: "According to my calculations, their presence barely improve the chance of success. You'd be much better off with us along!"

Layla: "Mmm… you're right! Why would we need high school boys?" (She sounds like a ***** here…)

Brandon: "We're not just high school boys. We're heroes!" (It's SPECIALISTS…)

Layla: "And what does that mean?"

Rai:

Tecna: "Stella and Brandon? Bloom and Sky? Goodness gracious, what a coincidence! Layla, looks like you'll have to play chaperone!"

Layla: "Mmmm… you mean that love is their specialty?"

Brandon: "You can say that again, cutie! Are you the new girl?"

Layla: (embarrassed) "Uh-oh! He heard me!"

Stella drops her case

4Kids:

Stella: (drops her case) "Oh no! Ahhh! Sky! That's the royal make-up case!"

Sky: (case falls into ravine) "I'm sorry, Stella, I'll get you a new one."

Stella: "You can't! It's couture!"

Sky: "Well I'm sure you won't need any make-up here."

Stella: (tries to climb down) "Boys can be so clueless sometimes!"

Rai:

Stella: (drops her case) "Oh no! Ahhh!"

Sky: (case falls into ravine) "Everything okay? Was that something important?"

Stella: "Yes! My make-up kit!"

Sky: (rolls his eyes) "Forget it, just slide down the rope!"

Stella: (tries to climb down) "I must admit, for once, I miss school!"


 * Episode 4, Princess Amentia (US: Queen of Perfection). In the beginning when Sky pulls Layla off of the cavern wall she was stuck on.4Kids:

Layla: "Help! This stuff burns!"

Sky: "I'm coming Layla!"

Layla: "It reeks, too!"

Sky: (pulling on the gunk holding Layla) "It's tough like rubber! Come on!"

Layla: "Hurry Sky! It stings!" (is finally pulled off)

Sky: "Are you okay?"

Layla: "I think so..."

Rai:

Layla: "Uuuaaaaahhh! Disgusting!"

Sky: "Hold on Layla!"

Layla: "Oh this is gross!"

Sky: (pulling on the gunk holding Layla) "Just... let me... get this off!"

Layla: "My wings! Sky my wings! Please! Ahhh!" (is finally pulled off)

Sky: "It's okay now." (Layla embraces Sky, causing him to get flustered) "Uh...?"

Bloom: (getting jealous) "Hmph!"

Layla: "Relax, Bloom, I was just going to thank him." (smiles at Sky) "Thanks!" 4Kids idiotically decided to alter Layla's personality to have a male complex or something.


 * Episode 8, Party Crasher (US: Party Monster).Scene: Stella flirts with random Specialists.

4Kids:

Specialist: *Walks by* "Hey Stella!"

Stella: "Hiiii! You know, peeps, he was my fifth grade boyfriend!"

Brandon: "Sure! He was the one who told me all about your middle school nickname. Your hair was so frizzy, they called you Frizztella!" (Stupid… real stupid...)

Stella: "Ah!"

Rai:

Specialist: *Walks by* "Hi Stella!"

Stella: "Hi!"

Brandon: "Hmmm…"

Stella: "And that makes twenty-six Specialists!"

Brandon: "Well I scored twelve witches plus seventeen faeries for a grand total of twenty-nine. I win, Sunshine!"

Stella: "Ah! Hmph!"

Rai version's a lot funnier and not corny like 4Kids. It emphasized on Stella and Brandon's player natures, which make them perfect for each other. ^_^

Scene: Digit chats with Tecna.

4Kids:

Digit gets Tecna to open up about her feelings for Timmy. Tecna said she had a dream about it and Digit wants to see using a program. Tecna's in a virtual world and sees Timmy. This was supposed to be a more romantic moment, but was ruined due to Tecna's narrating the "dream" and cutting it off soon.

Rai:

Tecna is a bit peeved that Digit managed to complete her side of the program code they were making. To get her mind off the loss, Tecna opts to try out the new software they developed (the virtual glasses). Tecna finds herself in the virtual world with Timmy. Notice that there is absolutely NO dialogue during this whole thing. When they jumped off the virtual building, they kiss in freefall (4Kids cut this part out for some idiotic reason).

Scene: Sky vs. Riven

4Kids:

Bloom: (wondering about Riven's tactics) "Can he do that!"

Musa: "Sure! This isn't the foil fencing competition, it's the extreme fighting event!"

Stella: "So when did that become a sport?"

Digit: "Exactly three years ago."

Bloom: (after Sky kicks Riven's butt) "Great job, Sky!"

Tecna: "When is Timmy up?"

Digit: "Take a deep breath."

Sky: "Good fight!"

Riven: "Man, you always win! Everything comes easy for you! It's like everything just falls into your lap!"

Sky: "That is not true, Riven, and you know it!"

Riven: "Grrr…" (forced tone) "…sorry… good fight."

Sky: (surprised) "Huh?"

Rai:

Bloom: (wondering about Riven's tactics) "Oh! Was that legal!"

Musa: "Barely, but yes. As long as the gas is intoxic, they can use bubble bombs."

Stella: "Then what was that green stuff?"

Digit: "Most likely sleeping smoke."

Bloom: (after Sky kicks Riven's butt) "Sky won!"

Tecna: "Those are the rules."

Digit: "You fall, you lose."

Sky: "Come on." (offers hand)

Riven: "I don't need your help! Must be nice being a prince, you spend your whole life learning from the best…"

Sky: "I couldn't have beaten you if I hadn't put in the work."

(Riven grunts and walks off in anger. Sky sighs.)


 * Professor Avalon's Secret (US: Angel of Doom), where Tecna suspects Avalon as being an enemy.Several changes, one in particular left a huge plot hole.

Scene: This is when you see Palladium's new look for the first time.

4Kids: Palladium says that he visited some hot springs resort and a potion from Wizgiz, which caused his change in looks. (O_O)

Rai: Palladium explains that his form had evolved, as all elves do (the guy is obviously an elf).

Scene: Palladium teaches a new spell, but it was different. This is the start of the plot hole...

4Kids:

Palladium teaches the "Sphere of Truth" which supposed to act as some super truth serum. (Palladium: "Fine, but if you mess up, you'll wind up telling all your embarassing secrets.") Uh huh...

Palladium: "Okay, select a target and aim well. We don't want to start any scandals, now do we?"


 * Amaryll grins deviously and shoots it at Stella, but Palladium quickly stops it*

Palladium: "Amaryll! We don't use spells on other students! Detention for a week!"

Amaryll: "Uh... sorry, Professor..."

Rai:

Palladium teaches the "Plasma Sphere", which is an offense spell of firing a concentrated ball of extreme heat. ("But remember, one syllable in the wrong place could burn all the air right out of this room.") Wow... that's quite a dangerous spell... one could probably get killed even...

Palladium: "Now choose a target and launch it. Go on, but keep your focus, or your classmates will wish they've worn sunscreen."


 * Amaryll grins deviously and shoots it at Stella, but Palladium quickly stops it*

Palladium: "Amaryll! Do that again and I'll have you expelled! That's CLEAR, I hope?"

Amaryll: "Uh... y-yes, sir..."

4Kids Amaryll wanted to humiliate Stella, but Rai Amaryll just wanted to fry her. Whoa... violent...

This is where the plothole happens. Tecna practices the spell she learned from Palladium to use on Avalon to expose him.

4Kids:

Tecna hits Avalon with the "Sphere of Truth", which for some reason caused an explosion (! Truth serum is dangerous...). Faragonda and the faculty explain that although Tecna researched the prophecy, her logic was simply flawed. This in itself is weird. Tecna had a flaw in her logic? But she's a half-android! Also, she doesn't seem the type to screw up her spells badly. If it were a real Sphere of Truth, it would've worked, considering that we all know by now that the Avalon there is an imposter.

Rai:

Tecna hits Avalon with the Plasma Sphere, expecting him to revert to his true form in pain, but gets confused when he doesn't (that's because Darkar made him from a REAL Paladin, so his identity not getting blown makes sense). Faragonda explained to Tecna that the prophecy that she read was actually from a book written by a famous COMEDIAN. Tecna merely forgot to check the validity of the prophecy. It was all fake.

Making it a Sphere of Truth completely conflicts with the later episode when the fake's identity is brought to light. Nice going, 4Kids...


 * Episode 12 "Winx Together!" (US: Truth or Dare)

Scene: When the girls create a titan to fight off the virus.

4Kids: Bloom: "Layla! You start us off! *Layla makes the substance* Make it as big as you can! *Layla gets nailed*" Stella: "Layla!" Flora: "I'm going to try and give that thing some strength! Venus Vine Wrap!" *give blob a make-shift skeleton and makes a titan* (Strength? You're just giving it structure so it won't fall apart...) Tecna: "I'll give it some brain power! Cerebrum Processus Implantus!" *gives titan a brain* (WTF? Again, abusing the '-us' suffix...) Bloom: "Stella! It's your turn, now!" Stella: "Sun Vision!" *gives titan sight* (Odd, how did Stella know what to do?) Palledium: "Each of you must put something into it!" (Um... they're already doing just that...) Musa: "Alright, you're up next, Bloom!" Bloom: "Dragon Valor!" *gives titan a will to fight* Tecna: "You go!" *titan fights off virus* Bloom: "Yes! It's working!" Tecna: "Are you okay, Layla?" Layla: "Mmm-hmm..." Flora: "I'm fine..." Bloom: "Let's make the monster cough up the exit code!" Palledium: "Girls! You need to give it the power to speak! Once it gets hold of the code, it has to say the spell with you!" Musa: "My turn! Elequor!" *gives titan a voice* Bloom: "Let's say the spell!" All: "With the six of us, together as one, unleash our power until the monster is done!" (Lame... and oddly enough, the incantation was made as if they EXPECTED a monster to show up and eat the exit code. Hmm...)

Rai: Bloom: "Layla! You're the foundation! *Layla makes the substance* Layla, it has to be bigger! *Layla gets nailed and the blob figure loses structure*" Stella: "Layla!" Flora: "Uh-oh! It needs some kind of skeletal support! Bearing Branches!" *give blob a make-shift skeleton and makes a titan, but gets knocked aside* Tecna: "It needs a brain! Central Processor! Creature! Hurry! Stand up!" *gives titan a brain, which then walks about aimlessly* Bloom: "Stella! It can't see anything!" Stella: "Sun Vision!" *gives titan sight* Palledium: "It can't fight without a will of its own!" Musa: "The monster's gonna destroy it!" Bloom: "My turn! Flame of Life!" *gives titan a will to fight* Tecna: "Oh no!" *titan fights off virus* Bloom: "Yes! She's full of life now!" Tecna: "Anything broken?" Layla: "Mmmm..." (Layla looked like she's drunk here. lol) Flora: "I'm okay..." Bloom: *to titan* "Listen, you've got to get the light the monster swallowed!" Palledium: "Girls, defeating the monster is not enough! Your creature has to say 'derimei ilussiamen' to open the exit!" Musa: "Soundscreen, Power of Words!" *gives titan a voice* Bloom: "Everybody ready?" All: "Derimei ilussiamen! Derimei ilussiamen!"

At least in this one, there's explanation given on what each of the girls' contributions to the titan was. The 4Kids version was choppy at best (not known for explaining things clearly).

On an added note, the 4Kids version omitted the part in the sleepover scene where Layla haphazardly dresses in an overcoat and holds a broom, playing the role of Brandon.

Stella: "Do you know how I got together with my Brandon?" Layla: "Hah! Let me guess! *dresses as 'Brandon' and speaks in a lowered voice* Hey girls! I'm the best fighter in the world and the best looking guy in Magix! Who wants to be my girlfriend? *normally* And you just fell at his feet!" Stella: "Actually, HE fell at MY feet!"


 * The Invisible Pixies (US: Gangs of Gardenia), there are horrid visual edits. Scene: Layla's nightmare sequence was altered a bit (stupidly).4Kids:

Nanny: "What were you doing in the commons gardens with those peasants, Layla?" (Nanny apparently forgot how to properly address Royalty)

Young Layla: "Just dancing..."

Nanny: "Hmph!"

Butler 1: "You call that dancing?"

Butler 2: "You shouldn't be dancing with commoners, Layla."

Butler 3: "Their crude dances are not fit for a princess!" (And this crude version of the show is not fit for anything)

Young Layla: "Sigh... I know..."

Nanny: "We're taking you back to the ballroom now."

Young Layla: "Fine."

Butler 1: "You will only dance when asked to."

Butler 2: "By a gentleman of the court."

Young Layla: "Fine." (This version of Layla doesn't look like she was raised very well)

Nanny: "And you will follow his lead"

Young Layla: "I understand."


 * All the servants close in on her*

Butler 3: "You will dance like a lady, Princess Layla. Otherwise, you will stand upright and still."

Nanny: "You will say nothing until spoken to."

Butler 1: "You will stare forward."

All: "You will do absolutely NOTHING!"


 * Young Layla cries*

Rai: The nightmare here is more believable.

Nanny: "Posture, Princes Layla. Head high,shoulders back."

Young Layla: "Yes Nanny."

Nanny: "Hmmm..."

Butler 1: "Your father rang."

Young Layla: "Yes?"

Butler 2: "He wanted to make sure that you attend your lessons."

Young Layla: "Yes, of course."

Nanny: "Mind your posture, Princess Layla."

Young Layla: "Yes..."

Butler 2: "You will be at court this evening."

Young Layla: "... yes..."

Nanny: "You will sit quietly."

Young Layla: "... yes, Nanny..."


 * All the servants close in on her*

Butler 3: "You will sit still..."

Nanny: "... and do NOTHING!"

Young Layla: "Uh... yes Nanny!"

Butler 1: "You will be quiet..."

Nanny: "... and speak to no one!"


 * The following part was cut out by idiot 4Kids. All the servants suddenly spasm and they all transform into Darkar, freaking Young Layla out.*

Darkar 1: "And no one will speak to you!"

Darkar 2: "You are all alone!"

Young Layla: *trembles with fear and cries with her face in her hands* "NOOOOOO!"

Why did 4Kids take out the part where the servants turn into Darkar clones for? Plus, Rai version shows the troubles of being Royalty by having to go through obligations (not just dancing, like 4Kids did. There's more to Royalty than that).

Scene: When Bloom, Stella, Musa, and Layla get conered by the street gang in the alley.

Rai:

The gang comes at them armed with broken bottles, pipes, chains, and switchblade knives, the stereotypical weaponry of most street gangs.

4Kids:

The gang comes at them armed with…. HANKERCHIEVES?! Who the hell in their right minds would be scared of guys armed with hankerchieves!? Oh yeah, that's real intimidating, guys…


 * Episode 14, Battle on Planet Eraklyon (4Kids: The Wrong-Righters. WTF!).

First of all, they called those guys the "Wrong-Righters"! That's just so freakin' LAME! In the original, they're called the Patchamen. As a fellow anime fan, I understand the name as it is a reference to the old anime Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (G-Force in the USA). They're obviously a parody of those guys. I mean, who else wears outfits consisting of feather-like mantles and helmets with bird-beak-shaped visors? Oh yeah, the robotic Patchaman does a Voltron reference ("And I'll form… THE HEAD!"). Also, as this episode dealt with cyber ninjas and techno ninjas, there was a moment where Zing cosplays as Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. The reference is made clearer in the Rai version as she actually says "GET OVER HERE!" when throwing her spear (and typically, in the 4Kids version, she doesn't say the line).

Ugh…. WRONG-RIGHTERS! WTF! I just have to say again, THAT'S SO (big censored)ING STUPID! Not only that, it makes absolutely no sense when their chest emblems are containing the letter "P", for PATCHAMEN, as Rai was trying to get across! "Wrong-Righter" doesn't even contain the letter! It's like giving Superman's emblem to Batman!

Scene: Zing takes a hit for Flora

4Kids:

Flora: "Zing? Are you okay?"

Zing: (cosplaying Jesse Ventura) "I'm all right, lil' lady!" (The hell? They made her a cowboy now?)

Rai:

Flora: "Zing! You're hurt!"

Zing: (cosplaying Jesse Ventura) "I ain't got time to hurt!"

Zing was refering to a scene in the Predator movie, thought the line was "I ain't got time to bleed".

4Kids over-emphasized on Diaspro being a spoiled princess. Okay, 4Kids, we know she's spoiled, but you're going WAY overboard with that!

Scene: When Diaspro wakes up kidnapped.

4Kids:

Diaspro (waking up) : "Ugh... where am I... *dog in her face* AHHH! YUCK! HAVE A BREATH MINT! (struggles and sees the Patchamen) What do you want!"

Patchaman 1: "You were destroying Planet Isis!"

Diaspro: "What? I'm a great ruler!"

Patchaman 1: "People are going hungry because you're making them spend all their money on outfits! You're sending people into exile for wearing more than one type of denim!" (Uh... just... wow...)

Diaspro: "Head to toe denim is cheesy!" (Again... just... wow...)

Patchaman 1: "We are going to turn you into a good person!" *he and the other Patchamen do their sentai poses as all sentai teams do then leave.* (Just what is this? They're supposed to be techno ninas, but they're more like techno self-help counselors...)

Diaspro: "What-EVER."

Rai:

Diaspro (waking up) : "Oh... where am I? *dog in her face* AHHH! A DOG! SOMEBODY HELP! (struggles and sees the Patchamen) Hello? Who's there?"

Patchaman 1: "Be still. Prince Sky can't reach you here. We are the Elite Techno Ninja Team. We've never known defeat!"

Diaspro: "You must be working for Yoshinoiya!"

Patchaman 1: "No time to talk! We have deeds to perform!" *he and the other Patchamen do their sentai poses as all sentai teams do then leave.*

Diaspro: "I hate this!"

Was 4Kids trying to be funny by making those lame-*** lines? Well, it didn't work! It made them all sound like a bunch of retards! That, coupled with their miscasted voices and bland replacement background music made it even worse.

4Kids ignores yet another plot device. When Bloom, Sky, Flora, and Brandon walk through the forests, both versions talk of different topics…

4Kids:

Bloom enquires Brandon about the (ugh…) "Wrong-Righters" and he replies that they're a "justice group into all sorts of causes". This is due to a past idiotic edit in a certain season 1 episode.

Rai:

Originally, Brandon doesn't know anything about the Patchamen. Instead, Bloom asks about the main man behind the kidnapping, Yoshinoiya. Brandon explains that the guy's been trying to get the Eraklyon throne for a while now, which was the reason why he and Sky switched identities back in season 1.

4Kids says that Sky and Brandon switched identites because Sky "wanted to experience life outside of royalty". Rai says that they switched identities to throw off assassination attempts, just like what Padme did in Star Wars Episode One Phantom Menace, when she switched places with one of her servants to throw off assassination attempts.

Scene: The intro of the Patchamen.

4Kids:

Ken (Patchaman 1): "I'll tell you who we are! Wherever there is injustice and inequality, we are there! Wherever people are suffering, we are there!"

Bo (Patchaman 2): "We fight poverty!"

Jinpee(Patchaman 3): "That's right! We save the oceans!"

Dunko(Patchaman 4): "That's right! We love for education!" (The hell…?)

Kiu(Patchaman 5): "Our mission is to stop environmental degradation, (assembles himself) and to defend underprivileged beings all across the magical dimension! We're here to uphold justice! We are the unstoppable, invincible…"

All: "WRONG-RIGHTERS!" (Excuse me while I vomit…)

Rai:

Ken (Patchaman 1): "Silence! How dare you! Whenever there is injustice, we are the ones who answer the call! Be afraid, villains, we are bandit justice man…" (a parody of Ken Washio)

Bo (Patchaman 2): "Bo! Mysterious anti-hero!" (a parody of Joe Asakura)

Jinpee(Patchaman 3): "Jinpee! The smartest kid ever!" (a parody of Jinpei)

Dunko(Patchaman 4): "Dunko! Princess of beauty" (a parody of Junko)

Kiu(Patchaman 5): "And Kiu! The mighty one! Dunko! My components, please! (assembles himself) And I'll be… THE HEAD! Together, we are… Science Ninja Team…" (a parody of Ryu)

All: "PATCHAMEN!" (a parody of Gatchamen)

Before they go at it with the Patchamen, Bloom and Flora transform. In Rai, Bloom simply says "Magic Winx!". In 4Kids, she, for some reason, says "Let's go, girls!". Yes, she said the plural form, despite the fact that aside from her, Flora was the only girl there, so that line made absolutely no sense.

The scene is when Bloom, Sky, Flora, and Brandon encounter the Patchamen for the first time, and get trounced...

4Kids:

Dunko throws that powder puff bomb at Bloom, causing her to cough and collapse (supposedly sleeping powder or something). Notice that before Bloom collapsed, she was holding her stomach.

RAI:

Patchaman Dunko throws the powder puff bomb at Bloom, which served as a smokescreen, not a knockout gas. While Bloom was temporarily blinded, Patchaman Bo appears in front of her, then punches her in her stomach (it showed Bloom's back, but you could tell she got gut punched), THEN she collapses. THAT'S why Bloom held her stomach in pain there. Poor girl, that must've hurt bad, considering she always wears midriff-baring outfits.

Scene: When Diaspro was rescued and is with Flora

4Kids:

Diaspro: "You're right, Flora. No one should be without freedom. I don't want anyone to be without enough to eat! I'll have to change, and I will change! I promise I will become a great leader!"

Flora: "Okie dokie."

Diaspro: "You know, I still believe hair accessories should be considered a basic necessity." (... I see a bleak future for her kingdom...)

Chatta: "Actually, I completely agree with you on that."

Rai:

Diaspro: "It's so not fair! Bloom's the one who rescued me! Oh I HATE HER! WHY DOES SKY HAVE TO LIKE HER! I've spent my whole life studying posture, ettiquette, court protocol, everything! "

Flora: "We understand."

Diaspro: "After all of that work, I was supposed to marry a prince! That's the whole point!"

Chatta: "Hey, there're plenty of princes in the Magic Dimension."

4Kids: Diaspro starts raving on how wrong she was to treat her people so badly to suit her inflated ego and that she has to act as a proper ruler. This conflicts to her reappearance in season 3 when she cut a deal with Valtor in order to steal Sky away from Bloom since in this version, she seemingly forgets or accepts that Sky chose Bloom over her.

Rai: Diaspro complains how much of a blow it is to her pride that she got rescued by Bloom, the one girl she hates because Sky loves Bloom and not her. Even though Bloom saves her, Diaspro still hates her for having Sky, which coincides with her eventual deal with Valtor later on in season 3.

4Kids also took out the parts where Zing cosplays as Spiderman and Dr. Octopus (yes, she seriously does this).

Rai:


 * Zing, as Spiderman, hangs upside-down from a webbing just like the original Marvel Superhero. Brandon comes and gives her a look.*

Brandon: "You don't need to pretend to have got Spider Powers, Zing."

Sky: "You're the Pixie of Insects. You do have Spider Powers.

Zing: (as Spiderman) "Right!"


 * Also, this episode had scenes of Musa stopping Stormy from breaking into Alfea. 4Kids stupidly took out all scenes related to it to put into the next episode where Musa holds her concert. Another act of idiocy from 4Kids: taking scenes from other episodes to put into episodes they don't even belong in. Real smart, *******es…


 * Halloween special episode, Hallowinx.

There was one chick at the party dressed like a goth nurse. In Rai, she was holding a syringe. In 4Kids, it was erased, so she's just holding out her hand like she's got a cramp or something.

Rai: When arriving to the haunted mansion where the party was at, Tecna makes a comment about the setup.

Tecna: "Wow, it's just like the house in that video game, 'Residen Evil Doom 2'!"

Rai: there was a scene that was cut out involving Musa answering the door while at the party. Greeting her was a short guy dressed like SpiderMan who was delivering a package. Musa brings it in and presents it to tells Musa that the pumpkin cakes have arrived. Her friend, a guy dressed like Freddy Krueger, picks up one by stabbing it with his finger knives and offers it to Musa. Not wanting to be rude, Musa eats it, and nearly barfs it out. Mitsy laughs, saying that Musa was unlucky to get the ear-wax-flavored cake. So a reference to Harry Potter's "Every Flavor Beans".

We also see other recognizable icons at the party. One girl was dressed like Witch Hunter Robin, and one guy dressed (sort of) like Darth Vader (even mentions that "dark side" stuff).


 * Twinning with the Witches (US: Exchange Students).

This is the episode in season 2 where the Winx girls go and attend classes at Cloud Tower. The reasoning for each version is different, as usual...

4Kids: Faragonda says that in order to fight Darkar, they must "immerse themselves in darkness to understand the dark arts" and thus they become the unwilling exchange students to Cloud Tower.

Rai: Faragonda originally sends the Winx girls to Cloud Tower because both she and Griffon believe that the Trix with strike Cloud Tower next for their piece of the Codex. Basically, they're serving as extra security, of course the witches seem to be slaves to pride and are disgusted at the fact of asking for help from faeries.

The two witch instructors who met them explained that Cloud Tower is actually a living, breathing creature composed of spells by ancient witches. Cut out was the part where Stella gets sick in the stomach from that revelation.

Scene: The first lecture by Griffon was editted in a stupid way with more idiotic line-changing.

4Kids:

Griffon: "If you came across a hungry little kitten crying pitifully in an alley, what would you do... Flora?" (Huh?)

Flora: "Uh... take it home and feed it and give it a really cute name?"

Griffon: "Oh Flora, that's so sweet of you, but NO!" (the students laugh at Flora) "That kitten's misery would give you enough dark energy to cast at least three skin-rot spells!" (WTF! This seriously overemphasizes on fairytale witches too much...)

Flora: "Oh... right... skin-rot spells... wouldn't want to pass up on those..." (What I want to pass up on is this stupid version of the show…)

Rai:

Griffon: "We'll begin with a simple exercise: producing energy by conjuring up dark images. Flora, will you start us off?"

Flora: "Uh... aren't we gonna divide up into groups to practice first?"

Griffon: "In groups? Witches working in GROUPS!" (the students laugh at Flora) "Listen up, Faeries. Teammates can BETRAY one another! That's why a witch depends on NO ONE but herself!"

Flora: "Yes, but... I mean, yes ma'am, if that's how witchcraft works."

Scene: The darkness orb practice session

4Kids:

Griffon: "Now remember, everyone, the secret to powerful witchcraft is to embrace darkness and suppress anything light."

Stella: (makes a light orb) "I wasn't cut out for witchcraft."

Griffon: "Well then try thinking of something you despise, Stella!" (yeah, like this version of the show, for instance...)

Stella: "The problem is, I despise darkness and embrace the light!"

Rai:

Griffon: "Many of our spells require darkness as a primary source of energy, so it's important to learn to subdue light."

Stella: (makes a light orb) "Sorry, but I don't do darkness."

Griffon: "You realize that the grades you make here will end up on your permanent record?"

Stella: "Have you SEEN my permanent record? These marks'll fit right in!" (Ah, Stella, ever the delinquent, even when not in her own school)

Personalities are a little switched as well

Scene: The Winx argue with the Cloud Tower students

4Kids:

Lucy: "We wouldn't've had to if Bloom hadn't given up the Dragon Fire!"

Stella: "You know, they kind of have a point there..."

Tecna: "The Dragon Fire was taken."

Stella: "Oh yeah, that's right!" (again, over-emphasis on Stella's flakiness.)

Rai:

Lucy: "Rumor has it that Bloom actually GAVE them what they wanted!"

Stella: "How dare you say that about Bloom!"

Tecna: "Technically, that's true."

Stella: "Who's side are you on!" (It makes more sense that Stella was the one defending Bloom. She's not as flaky as her 4Kids counterpart.)


 * Episode 21, Charmix Power (US: Trouble in Paradise).

Scene: The girls on the beach.

4Kids:

Bloom: Question #3. "You discover that your cute new boyfriend has lousy tastes in music. Do you 'a' use your magic to change his taste to match yours, 'b' move on to the next boy or 'c' accept him for who he truly is?"

Musa: "Gotta go with 'c' on that one."

Flora: "I say if there is other stuff you like about him just let him be himself."

Layla: "Using magic sure would be tempting then you get the guy you like with the musical taste you like."

So lame…

RAI:

Bloom: "I think Faragonda was right. We really needed a vacation!"

Flora: "Yeah. It feels good to get away from Darkar and his ugly plans! And to find ourselves in the heart of nature!"

Notice how Musa and Layla don't even have lines here. 4Kids takes way to much advantage of off-screen talking…

Scene: Stella criticizes Tecna.

4Kids:

Stella: "... but hey don't pick on me, Techna over there won't even change outfits."

Tecna: "That's because I burn way too easily. I can't wear a swimsuit!"

Stella: "Okay! You know there is this amazing thing called sun block."

RAI:

Stella: "Hmmm… it's just that there's no shopping, the boys aren't paying attention to us, and look, Tecna's not wearing a swimsuit!"

Tecna: "I don't want to have a tan, so what's the use of wearing a swimsuit?"

Stella: "Okay!"

Scene: Stella and Layla have an argument.

4Kids:

Stella: "When are we going to the hotel? I can't wait to check in, take a shower and hit the boutiques." (uh… what?)

Layla: "I don't think there is a hotel in this region."

Stella: "Okay! If there isn't a hotel, where I am supposed to sleep and how am-I supposed to stay warm?"

Layla: "That's what firewood is for. Why don't you go swim or something?"

Stella: "Do you know how much I paid for this swimsuit?"

Layla: "Wait a minute Stella, does this mean you can't get it wet?"

Stella: "Mm-mm-mm…" (wait… what?)

Layla: "Eh! You're kidding right?" (that makes about as much sense as a saw that can't cut…)

Stella: "Mm-mm-mm…"

Layla: "So you just bought a swimsuit for how it looks. What kind of sense does that make?"

Stella: "It makes more sense than going on a stupid vacation, there is no hotel and you have to sleep in the dirt."

Sheesh, they make Stella sound overly spoiled here!

RAI:

Stella: "Hey Layla, I'm surprised you're not playing! It's right up your alley!"

Layla: "How come you're not playing? Don't like what their wearing?"

Stella: "Not everyone is obsessed with sports, you know! Are you carrying those logs to look tough?"

Layla: "That's not an accessory, that's called 'firewood'."

Stella: "So? What do we need firewood for?"

Layla: "For the campfire tonight! Ever gone camping before?"

Stella: "Mmmm… mh-mh."

Layla: "Oh… ever built a fire?"

Stella: "Mh-mh…"

Layla: "You can't live without shopping malls and glamour magazines, can you?"

Stella: (angrily) "Well… this is who I am!"

More emotional buildup here, as you can clearly sense the tension between Stella and Layla. They're both princesses of their own worlds, but are very different. 4Kids made Stella overly materialistic who complains too much. RAI Stella at least KNEW that they don't have the usual convenient comforts out in the wild. She only showed signs of complaint in anger to Layla's tactless comment about her way of living. Layla's a rebellious-type princess, so it's understandable that she had inadvertedly insulted Stella, a classic-type princess.
 * In the episode Magic in My Heart only in the Rai version had Layla's dance.

Voice actors:

 * Tecna: Rebecca Soler (changed)
 * Baltor: Sean Schmelle

Other differences

 * Valtor's name was changed to Baltor.
 * In episode 12: Meili's name is changed to Rose
 * Unlike Rai, 4kids do not show the Winx using Fairy Dust, or shows the entire transformation.
