Hiya, fellow WinxBizers! Here's WinxBelievixTV's English trailer of the third Winx Movie, "Mystery of the Abyss", and today, I'm going to tell you my reaction to this trailer. Better late than never, I guess...
...but, aren't those the season 6 uniforms they're wearing? They weren't brought out until episode 6X02, and this movie was supposed to be set between seasons 5 and 6. Did Nickbow just forget about the season 5 uniforms or did they just want the season 6 uniforms to be brought out early? Or was it just "lack of forethought"?
Anyway, here is Rainbow's description of the movie (translated by OP, on Una di Noi Winx):

Anyway, here is Rainbow's description of the movie (translated by OP, on Una di Noi Winx):
The Winx Club is back in the depths of the Infinite Ocean! Thanks to their new ally, Politea, the Trix are able to free Tritannus from his prison, swapping his life with Prince Sky’s. Their evil plan to conquer the Magical Dimension seems closer than ever to fruition. To save the prince, Bloom can count on the help of her BFFs, the Winx, and the little Selkies. Can the Winx defeat the Trix and their new ally, Politea? What will happen if they fail to save Sky and restore balance to the Infinite Ocean? Magic, transformations, and an ancient magical mystery … the Winx will be more united than ever in this new, exciting adventure! Don’t miss the adventures, news, and exclusive content from the Winx Club!
OK, so, Tritannus is up to his old mission; "taking over (or trying to at least) the Magic Dimension by using some artifacts from the Infinite Ocean." The only difference is that Politea's in the plot and Bloom has to save Sky, not Daphne. This feels like a season 5 recycled! This might be a season 5 movie, but why not make a new adventure, instead of repeating the "Tritannus wanting to take over the Magic Dimension, so he uses some artifact from the Infinite Ocean" thing? Stop recycling villains! ("Enough of the Trix already!" said Bunny from Una di Noi Winx.)
Wait, I've thinking, why would the Trix want to bring Tritannus back? Darcey and Stormy were spending almost the whole season trying to convince Icy to dump him, and in he end, he turned against her. It still wouldn't make sense, even if Icy does do it on her own. Knowing her, she's not the type of person who would give second chances. She and the Trix (as a whole) are hypocrite! They can drop others, but others can't drop them! Who knows why they gave Selina so many chances, maybe they like her?! No, that was supposed to be for another post...
...OK, onto the next plot, the CGI:

I get why Rainbow used the TV CGI — uniformity, faster production time (just reuse the models and Sirenix sequences) — but I’ve never liked this animation. The old CGI was much more beautiful. I’m gonna miss it.
What bothers me more is this movie breaks the established “rules” for CGI use. In the show, only areas that are “in another dimension” (the Infinite Ocean, the inside of the Legendarium) use this CGI. That gives them an “otherworldly” feel. But since everything will look the same in this movie, the Infinite Ocean won’t seem much different from a regular ocean!
If Rainbow planned to do this all along, I don’t think they should have used CGI in the show at all. Seasons five and six would have been fine in 2D.
Said OP, on Una di Noi Winx. True as! I mean, honestly, it would look all the same, and nothing will stand out in the movie any more. Is it just lack of forethought? Because that's one of the most likely reasons why they did that. WHY can't Nickbow ever listen to us fans?
This is going to be awesome!
What is? The new movie? Well, I guess...
Politea is evil! EVIL!
Wow, was that...Daphne's voice?? I thought Daphne was still stumbling and had no confidence in herself in episode 6X01, so even if she IS going to be in the movie, I don't think she'd be much help. The Winx would have to help HER! LOL! But kinda disappointing, because I really wanted to see her and her Sirenix form in CGI. Speaking of the CGI...IT'S GOTTEN SO MUCH WORSE! Really, the best CGI was the one in the first movie. I loved it! Now, not even Bloom looks cute in it! The 2D animation, since Nick came in was so much better, but the CGI, since Nick came in, was so much worse! What's wrong with these people?! Why can't another company, better than Nick, pair up with Rainbow? *sigh* I'll save this for another post...
The curse of Sirenix!
What? Did I hear right? The curse of Sirenix? Wasn't it broken forever when Bloom wished it? How many plotholes did Nick poke in their own story?
Final Thoughts/Conclusion
I won't judge this movie before it premiers. This trailer's less than a minute long, anyway. That's nothing compared to the length of the movie! So, I just hope all my question here about the movie will be answered, and that Nickbow will try to patch up all these plotholes, before any of us fall through! LOL!
