From what I can observe, the new animation style, while similar, does differ from Regal Academy. It seems to be more of a revamped couture style than anything, but I am so excited for it (sans the Specialists).

As for crossovers, they really don’t serve any purpose, IMO, other than to satisfy fans. I would really dislike seeing Winx Club merge with anything other than PopPixie or WOW because it cheapens the integrity of the work.
