All the New Winx Club Transformations Have Been Revealed!

Nowadays, reboots of nostalgic properties have become so commonplace that it's difficult to get excited anymore. In the case of Winx Club, an animated reboot, albeit CGI, is more of a correction/apology for the horrendous live-action remake that came out four years ago. Fate: The Winx Saga had none of the magic, visuals, or whimsy that made Winx Club such a beloved franchise. Rainbow SpA issued a different type of apology last year in the form of a completely original magical girl series. Mermaid Magic brought back the charm and nostalgia of magical girl transformations, fantasy, and innocent romance that Fate was missing. Now, they are redirecting their attention back to their original fans by focusing on their newest iteration of Winx Club, which is allegedly coming to Netflix this fall.

Although Rainbow launched a short teaser for the 2025 Winx Club reboot late last year, there was very little revealed about what the girls would look like in their fairy forms when they unleash the full magic of Winx. Rainbow wisely decided to build up to this gradually by releasing a new transformation sequence every few days throughout the month of April until all six girls were revealed in their full Winx fairy glory. This was a clever marketing technique because it allowed fans time to absorb each transformation sequence individually and share their thoughts with each other over an extended period of time instead of being overloaded with all of them when the show premieres.

The first two reveals were Flora, the fairy of nature, and Tecna, the fairy of technology. Although I generally like Flora better as a character, I have to admit that I prefer Tecna's new transformation sequence over Flora's. I liked the beginning of Flora's sequence, in which she blooms out of a lovely pink lotus blossom. In general, it was a very nice touch that each of the six transformation sequences began with the girls popping out of some sort of spherical item that relates to their element. However, once she starts swinging around on vines and doing gymnastic moves, it feels less like a transformation sequence and more like an acrobatics show. If you want to see what a real floral-themed transformation sequence should look like, I recommend checking out Cure Felice's transformation from Witchy Precure, which just might be my favorite magical girl transformation sequence of all time.

Tecna makes good use of her technology powers by typing on a magical computer, as though she is coding her own transformation. When she uses two fingers to zoom in on her eye like you would do on a smartphone or device, it draws attention to how far technology has come since Winx Club premiered in 2004. It makes perfect sense that Tecna would remain on the cutting edge. I also liked that her sequence draws more attention to her wings appearing than Flora's did, since the wings are the most important part of a human-to-fairy transformation. On the other hand, I wish they had made her wings look a little different from other fairies. In the original show, they appeared to be metal green wires protruding from her back. That made her stand out from the others, while her wings here look more homogenous.

The next two reveals are Musa, the fairy of music, and Stella, the fairy of the sun and moon. Between these two, Stella is the clear winner. Musa's transformation looks like a carbon copy of Flora's, with the vines being replaced by bars of music. I liked how it looked like she was listening to the theme song on headphones at the beginning of her sequence, since music is a big part of the Winx transformations, but everything after that is pretty mid. Like Flora, she has very little attention placed on her wings. Stella, on the other hand, has some gorgeous transitions between flipping her powers from day to night by switching the sun and the moon with a flick of her wrist. She bursts with light out of the night sky, representing the importance of her two elements. It's cleverly orchestrated and does a great job of showing off her solar-powered energy.

The final two reveals were Aisha, the fairy of waves, and Bloom, the fairy of the everlasting Dragon Flame, which only launched minutes ago. Even though Bloom is the main character of the Winx Club series, Aisha was given a compelling backstory with more interesting arcs than any other character in the show after she was introduced in the second season. One of the changes for the reboot series is that she will be introduced as a core member of the cast from the very beginning. Her importance is reflected by her lovely transformation sequence, which shows her splashing around in and out of the water and controlling the waves around her. Fans of The Little Mermaid will appreciate the Ariel "hair flip" reference in the middle of the transformation. Bloom, on the other hand, looks off to me. Her sequence had plenty of fire and suited her personality, but her face looked, especially at the end. As I watched it, I just kept thinking, "That's not Bloom."

Now it's your turn! Which of the six Winx Club transformation sequences is your favorite? Do you think Tecna's tech-savvy transformation takes the cake, or does Stella's solar-powered sequence shine brightest? Perhaps Aisha's aquatic transformation or Flora's nature-inspired sequence stole the show for you? Let me know in the comments below! Share your thoughts on the reboot and which transformation sequence you think best captures the magic of Winx Club, and stay tuned for the new reboot coming to Netflix next fall.
