Created by Iginio Straffi, the show first aired in 2004 and quickly captured hearts worldwide. The Winx Club consists of Bloom, Stella, Flora, Tecna, Musa, and later Aisha, who attend the Alfea College for Fairies in the magical dimension of Magix. Bloom, the main protagonist, discovers she's a fairy with dragon fire powers and is from the lost kingdom of Domino. The show was produced by the Italian company Rainbow S.p.A. in collaboration with Nickelodeon. An interesting fact is that the series was initially aimed at older audiences before being re-designed for children. The Winx Club has gone through several transformations, including Charmix, Enchantix, Believix, and several others. Mirta, originally one of the witches from Cloud Tower, becomes an ally to the Winx and later transfers to Alfea. The Trix—comprising Icy, Darcy, and Stormy—serve as recurring villains who seek to harness Bloom's dragon fire power. In the fourth season, the Winx introduce a new member, Roxy, the last fairy on Earth. The series has been adapted into three different feature films, one of which is "Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom." Over the years, Winx Club has released a multitude of merchandise, including dolls, clothes, and video games, further cementing its popularity.

There’s even a live-action adaptation, "Fate: The Winx Saga," launched on Netflix in 2021. Each Winx fairy has a strong connection to nature, technology, music, or light, representing diverse spectra of magical strengths. A little-known fact is that many character names, like Flora, Tecna, and Musa, allude to their individual powers. Iginio Straffi initially pitched the show under the name "Magic Bloom." Environmental themes are prevalent throughout the series, especially visible in virtuous Flora who embodies nature and plant life. The show's animation style has evolved considerably over the years, switching from traditional 2D to 3D in some episodes and movies.
