so new winx club reboot .
so new all CGI winx club reboot .
so new all CGI winx club reboot , with completely new style that do not evoke any of original art style , when winx club did this more than 10 years ago with original movies and winx club in concert music videos . ( warning : flickery lights . )

know proportions of original art style under heavy criticism even in 2d form and understand why , but , at least unique style - can look at these and know winx club instantly . could not even keep any of facial structure ? :(

Ohhhh... That looks rather generic, doesn't it?

[kossai]

yeah ... like , original 3d style was not perfect , but can not look at that and think miss out on some random pixar movie . this new style ... would not blame someone who might wonder something like that without proper context .

Yeah they are obviously aping Disney Pixar, which is a mistake to begin with, because that style has already become bland. Why poorly imitate something that's no good to begin with?

unfortunately winx club grasp at straws since season 5 , from 2012 ... at some point maybe have to say that time is over .

winx club did get 4kids dub , but then season 4 fall through when 4kids bankrupt . cinelume did dub all 4 original seasons , but could be extremely hard to find . basically , english audience miss out , and need someone to tackle .

nickelodeon come into play here , but also bring downhill - new seasons 5 and 6 strip away maturity for sparkly colours , which doom seasons 7 and 8 as well . then live action netflix series happen , to try and bring back that maturity for older fans , but everyone hate . other spinoffs exist but those also all fail , and pretty quick . ( not to mention how world of winx spinoff , as well as main series season 8 , both terribly whitewash characters . )

so , at this point - " whatever works , works " , but not really !

This instantly reminded me of what happened to the art style for YuGiOh Sevens. I feel your pain :(

Even if a show's character design is a little goofy and strange, I'll always prefer that to character design that is so bland it makes me feel nothing. I'm very tired of CGI that resembles off-brand Disney Pixar.
