Other Potpourri

Winx - W.i.t.c.h. comparisons

1. Both have their roots in Italy.

2. Both are about Magical Girls with wings. (The Winx girls can all fly, but while this is also the case in the animated W.i.t.c.h., Hay Lin is the only one who can fly in the original comic-book version.)

3. Both feature red-haired girls as their most significant character (Bloom - Will).

4. A key plot point in the first season is that a "commoner" turns out to be of royal descent (Bloom again - Elyon this time).

5. The red-haired girls have shopping-obsessed blondes as their sidekicks (Stella - Cornelia).

6. The blondes have love interests with scruffy brown hair (Brandon - Caleb).

This section is expected to feature video of scenes that were edited out from the show by 4Kids.
