Yes, it's true. I saw the news on http://www.michaelsfavorites2.com/winxclub3/newspage.html. =)

He gave us the link: http://www.corriereadriatico.it/SPETTACOLI/rainbow_avventure_winx_iginio_straffi_villa_musone_marche_rai2/notizie/421983.shtml

EDITED THE ARTICLE, Thanks to Sen for Translating!:

The fantastic world of the Winx continues to triumph and the magic becomes so contagious that it transforms everything that crosses its path into gold. There’s an air of optimism blowing in Villa Musone’s Rainbow: a growing success and new goals on the horizon. Meanwhile the sixth series of the little witches is about to start on Rai2 for the occasion. The first episode airs on the day of the Befana: already 13 episodes of the 26 finished ones are scheduled to air.

Iginio Straffi, head of Rainbow, is satisfied: “It’s a very important goal. We have come a long way, since the first series was released ten years ago. A much longer way than we thought. We have created 150 episodes, two movies (a third one is coming out after the summer), two musical shows and two on ice shows in a decade. That is without counting the many activities among a thriving merchandising branch which includes, apart from a large amount of gadgets, millions of books which are sold. We’re now covering two generations of children, and this makes us hope that the Winx can become an animated cartoon classic”.

Which Winx do you love the most and why?
“As papà I have to say all of them, but truthfully I feel very attached to Flora: she is probably the most “defenceless” and has very sweet features which indicates a more helpful and more open character. But at the same time I admire Bloom for the exact opposite: she’s strong, decisive, has intractable traits, which make her a leader. And then there are Stella, Aisha, Musa and Tecna.”

How is a cartoon character born?
“After drafting the storyboard, you outline the characteristics and with that data the character is born.”

It mustn’t have been easy to continue the same leading principle for 150 episodes.
“Absolutely true. I had initially come up with a story which would have a maximum of 78 episodes and a film to look in-depth at some themes which where left open. Then, the growing success has made me deal with an evolution of the story to create new themes which can be developed. We had the Winx descend from a fantastical word to an earthly world, turning them into superheroines. In the cartoon universe dedicated to men, there is a very large number of superheroes and it seemed right to look for a counterbalance.”

And what do the superheroines do?
“They deal with Earth’s illnesses, from pollution to deforestation. One of the Winx’s characteristics is the strong educative message and therefore we have made them the guardians of our planet.”

In what country are the Winx received best?
“Italy, first of all, but we’re also going very strong in Russia and Turkey. We’re in a phase of constant growth in Europe, America and Latin America.

Many activities are in operation at Rainbow...
“We’re in full activity, the following are in production: the VII season of the Winx, the II season of Prezzy, a third film about the little witches, as well as new characters. Things are going well in Rainbow MagicLand, the amusement park near Rome And in these first days of the year, we’re strengthening our offices in Asia where we will focus our efforts soon.”

Your mentor, don Lamberto Pigini turns 90 years old, the relationship is still strong and what would you like to wish him?
“I wish that he can continue inspiring and advising all his partners that it may never stop. His message has always been clear: create job opportunities, support the economy by spreading positive values. Even though he’s no longer a Rainbow associate, he remains the most listened to friend. It’s thanks to his incentive that we have continued our activity here at Villa Musona, a part of Loreto, and we have built up this very modern company with a high living standard, so high that visitors from all over the world give us compliments and use us as an example.”

What do you ask for this 2014.
“To achieve all objectives, even the most ambitious ones. We are going to continue with our company policy to invest in human resources to create new job posts and for that we going to hunt for new markets. While I wish for everyone that our policies will finally have a hand in work reforms to start our economy up again. There are investors from abroad ready to arrive, but we need to create a different more flexible situation. And, of course, a good health for everyone.”

-------------------------------------------

Season 7 will release after the 3rd Movie which is still in production. The article mentioned that the 3rd Movie will be coming out this Summer? (hopefully). =)
So far no data yet. Except the Titles of the Movie from the Official Winx Club's Poll if you remembered that we helped to choose a title.

Thanks for the information

Posted by: P-girl Jan 7 2014, 10:42 AM

Woooh!
I'm psyched.
Huh, I wonder what he means by 'A third film about witches'? I'm intruiged.

Posted by: mightymarty2 Jan 7 2014, 8:15 PM

I am guessing it will have something to do with the Trix and maybe more backstory on the Trix and/or the Ancient witches backstory. The other option I see is the Trix trying to review the ancient witches

Posted by: Kendall112 Jan 7 2014, 10:49 PM

I really don't see Winx ending anytime soon. It's Rainbows most successful product. This is what happens when a show makes a name for a company.

Nickelodeon = SpongeBob
DreamWorks = Shrek
Mattel = Barbie
MGA = Bratz
Rainbow = Winx Club

Posted by: dreamywinxgirl94 Jan 10 2014, 11:22 PM

I was quite confused about the Witches part too. Actually, Sen told me whoever wrote the article in the first place...probably made a mistake. It was suppose to be about the Winx not the witches. =) That clears up since she also read and understood in Italian too.

The 3rd Movie was suppose to be about Sirenix..since I seen the Titles in Process for the Official Winx Club's Poll in Italian. Rainbow S.r.L needed the Fans' Help to Decide on the Title for the 3rd Movie.

(I really hope it takes place after Season 6 with their New Transformations, not Sirenix. ^^" So far no data yet, just only the titles in process.)

Posted by: Zhanneel Mar 22 2014, 6:19 PM

I remember at the end of the first movie that little skeletor with the Trix and the Ancestral Witches. I'm thinking they might branch off from that spoiler? Just a possibility, if Straffi and Co. didn't already forget about that loose end.

Posted by: P-girl Mar 22 2014, 6:48 PM

Wasn't that a tease for the second movie where the Trix and Ancestral witches teamed up?

Posted by: Zhanneel Mar 22 2014, 8:28 PM

Oh that's my bad then. I actually can't remember anything about the 2nd movie except for the pony-horse that Bloom had. Well, if that's the case then I have no idea what Straffi's cooking up next.

Posted by: Sen Mar 23 2014, 1:19 PM

Some are hoping the movie will answer left-open questions from season 5 (such as Musa's wish). Other than that, this movie'sp lot really is a surprise. =o

----

On-topic:

About season 7. I have to look up the exact article, but recently, with Iginio Straffi attending the Bologna Licensing Trade Fair, it's been reported that Rainbow has fully finished working on season 7. :))

Posted by: Sen Mar 26 2014, 9:07 PM

Source:

(Comedy/action 2D animation, 26x30 min. in 2015) Each fairy animal has a special talent, necessary for the balance of the Magic Universe. The Winx will discover this, while facing two new dreadful villains and getting new amazing transformations along their journey!

Posted by: Marswinx85 Mar 26 2014, 9:58 PM

cool I can not wait to see on youtube

Posted by: Zhanneel Mar 28 2014, 10:01 PM

I hope they do justice to the animal-theme. No more "Love & Pet" please. =/ But looking forward to seeing what plots they come up with this time around.

Posted by: lalande Mar 29 2014, 4:11 PM

Yeah this is all very exciting, I just hope the animal theme isn't like season 5 with the silkies. I'm also excited about the movie too but who is going to air it in USA since Nick dropped it? We still need a Network.

Posted by: P-girl Mar 29 2014, 7:05 PM

I wonder how much Roxy will play a role. Since, y'know, Animals are kinda her thing.

Posted by: Sen Mar 29 2014, 7:20 PM

Since the season 6 final episode is titled "Winx Forever", some are hoping that it's a real "final" and perhaps a new group will be used in season 7.

Posted by: P-girl Mar 29 2014, 8:00 PM

Well, they DID kinda set up Roxy as the 7th Winx during Season 4. Until Nick decided 'Hey, why not use Daphne for that?'
(That might be incorrect, but I feel that's how it went.)

Posted by: dreamywinxgirl94 Mar 29 2014, 9:02 PM

Can't wait!

Ah, I so hope they better use Roxy in Season 7 cause she is an animal fairy. She should be part of it. ^_^

(I wonder what happened to the Love & Pet? o.o Who's been taking care of them? =S It's really weird they just dropped them after Season 4.)

Oh for those wondering for the actual source it is here: http://www.worldscreen.com/worldscreenings/screening/982

And Bloom's cute Mythix along with the source:


I also don't think it's the end of the Winx Club group nor having a new group, The Winx girls will be gong on more adventures. =)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I could not find my topic for the 3rd Movie....
instead it relates here too.

Here are the Promo Sirenix Images for the 3rd Movie! Also the new title is called: The Mystery of the Abyss (Yes the title had been confirmed. It was from Russian Movie Site...I cannot find the image now. I believe it was seen from Michaels' Winx Club, if anyone remembers)

Source, thanks to WinxClubRUS: http://vk.com/winxclubrus






I am so glad they fix the eyes!!!! That is what I loved the most! (I really don't like the eyes from CGI animation from Season 5) =D But the bad side is they changed the wings....just like the Season 5 Concept? o.o Honestly, I like the Season 5's wings better. =/ (Hope they changed it??)

Also from the Italian Poster too for Promos to the Book Fair:

Posted by: P-girl Mar 29 2014, 10:45 PM

I actually really like these wing designs.

Posted by: mightymarty2 Mar 30 2014, 7:35 AM

I was never sure Roxy was apart of the winx she was more like a pixie this season in terms of role. I cannot see her having a major part as she had barely been in the last 2 seasons. I know that means she may graduate in season 7 so in theory she may have to travel to try and get Enchantix.

Posted by: Sen Mar 30 2014, 9:01 AM

I don't think anyone was ever sure, especially since season 5. In the Dutch magazine promo material, she is called "Roxy of Winx Club", though.

Yes, good point! I hope that will happen



Yes, I so agree with that *-*

Posted by: PrinceNereus Apr 10 2014, 3:15 PM

Roxy will be there in season 7 ^^ don't worry

Posted by: Sen Apr 13 2014, 3:05 PM

Yeay! Well, it was almost impossible not to have her in it considering the theme/plot. o.o

Posted by: Sen Jul 15 2014, 7:16 PM

Possible season 7 leak found by Germansirenix: http://germansirenix.blogspot.be/2014/07/magische-tierchen-aus-staffel-7-erstes.html

Posted by: Marswinx85 Jul 16 2014, 12:56 AM

I wish it was in English bc I have no clue what it says lol

Posted by: Sen Oct 6 2014, 3:58 PM

It's in fairy couture style, but ... what do you think of the possible first look at the new transformation?
http://www.unadinoi-winx.com/new-season-seven-info-first-look-at-blooms-fairy-form/

Posted by: winxclubrox23 Oct 6 2014, 8:30 PM

I seriously hope Butterflyix isn't the official name. That's dipping a wee bit too far into cheesy territory in my opinion.

Other that that it looks....okay. Nothing spectacular. Sort of reminiscent of the older Barbie: Fairytopia movie from the early 2000s, which is pretty tacky when you compare it to the other transformations they've done.

Posted by: Marswinx85 Oct 6 2014, 9:29 PM

It's looks pretty I wish I can see a full version of it

Posted by: mightymarty2 Oct 7 2014, 10:28 AM

From what I can see it would be a surprise if it stayed like that. I would expect a more refined version

Posted by: Sen Oct 7 2014, 11:12 AM

True, the couture version of Mythix looks different from the regular version as well.



Oh my this! I admit that I've sort of lost hope after "bloomix", but butterflyix just neh... Apart from being cheesy, it just doesn't have a good ring to it. We can only imagine how the non-English languages would pronounce it. =s

Posted by: P-girl Oct 7 2014, 5:16 PM

Eh, appearance over name.

Posted by: winxclubrox23 Oct 10 2014, 11:28 PM

I think they go hand in hand. A bad name brings a negative light to a good design, whereas a good name with a bad design is a disappointment.

Posted by: SpiderBraids Oct 16 2014, 6:21 AM

New official http://www.unadinoi-winx.com/plot-of-season-seven-revealed/ and http://www.unadinoi-winx.com/bloom-stella-and-flora-season-seven-transformation/

Posted by: P-girl Oct 16 2014, 8:03 AM

Sounds like another 'Captain Planet' type of season like 5. Eh, I'm on board. Season 5 wasn't bad.
The transformation is too frilly for my taste. I like 'me either simple or practical.

Posted by: mightymarty2 Oct 16 2014, 10:59 AM

Well that is not filling me with excitement season 5 was too much on being eco friendly. I fear season 7 could be similar but on saving animals.

I still think the transformation will be altered, how much I am not sure but it does not seem the same quality of other seasons

Posted by: Skeekers Oct 16 2014, 4:45 PM

I'm not liking the pictures. Reminds me of those hideous, tacky Barbie dolls. And "Butterflyix" just ruins everything. I really hope they change that! Might as well just be "I-Need-New-Wings-Transformation-ix"

Posted by: P-girl Oct 16 2014, 6:25 PM

I personally never understood the common disdain cartoons with an environmental message get. It's a good message and if it's a good product, what's the problem? Kids caring too much?

Posted by: Sen Oct 17 2014, 9:04 AM

I think the problem is that it's too long? I don't recall anyone really complaining about those episodes in season 4, while many seemed to dislike season 5's message after a couple of episodes.

Posted by: mightymarty2 Oct 17 2014, 9:22 AM

Maybe it is just me but it kept going on and on about being eco friendly and the enviroment. I felt it just became too much of the focus and it got annoying after a while.

Posted by: P-girl Oct 17 2014, 6:38 PM

I dunno. I felt it was preeeettty clear that it was the focus of the season, I.E., not something they'd drop after one or two episodes. I dunno. It's like complaining a horror show still tries to scare you after the first few episodes.

Edit: Also, it's not just Winx. Add in an environmental message to anything and chances are, just that is what get people's eyes rolling.

Posted by: winxclubrox23 Oct 18 2014, 5:21 AM

I think the reason why it gets tedious is because it's such a prominent message these days in everything, which is good because the environment is important. However, with a magical girl type show, people want to see, well magical things in magical fantasy places. If we have the opportunity to do that, spending so much time on Earth gets pretty old. Especially when they already had a whole season like that.

Posted by: mightymarty2 Oct 18 2014, 7:43 AM

I aggree all this everything must be enviromentally friendly, it does get annoying. The thing is it should not be the be all and end all but back on topic I don't want the message constantly, why not have it as a lot more discreate and in the background. It should be barely noticable. Like the first few series of doctor who where they had a recurring theme but it was written so you would not notice until it was explained at the end.

I also aggree with winxclubrox that it would be ice to focus on magical realms that earth. Though the Earth fairies concept was nice.

I do wonder if we will see the earth fairies and Roxy in this season. As in theory if she is following the winx path it should be about her 3rd year and that may mean she will be leaving Alfea at the end of that school year.

Posted by: P-girl Oct 18 2014, 8:13 AM

I guess I just think differently on the matter. I don't mind them going back to Earth, especially now that it's confirmed that magic and therefore magical being have returned to it. I'd love some more Earth myth creatures. Like Medusa. Or Anansi. Pan.... Wouldn't that be awesome? And in tune with the 'Animal' theme.
Earth's not as boring as everyone seems to believe, especially when you introduce mythology and magic.

That said, I do hope that they at least MENTION Roxy, considering the animal theme.

Posted by: mightymarty2 Oct 19 2014, 10:09 AM

It seems logical that she would be involved but given her limited involvement in the past 2 seasons make me have some doubts about that.

Posted by: P-girl Oct 19 2014, 1:35 PM

I dunno. That limited involvement seemed to have been a Nick decision. They're out of the picture for this season and it was pretty obvious that Rai themselves wanted to do more with Roxy.

Posted by: Sen Oct 19 2014, 4:34 PM

Plus she's actually had some lines in season 6 and took care of an animal (well, ms. Griffin, but still).

Posted by: dreamywinxgirl94 Dec 28 2014, 7:32 AM

I don't know if anyone posted this or I did not see the other topic:

Still no official name of their new Transformation yet.

From: http://www.moy-rebenok.ru/novosti/vse-na-vecherinku-v-stile-winx-113608/
And also http://vk.com/winxclubrus?w=wall-41080141_137715

I can't wait to see their 2D forms soon!
I wish Roxy is involved she is perfect for the role because of Animals.

Posted by: Sen Dec 28 2014, 9:36 AM

^Same, about Roxy. I hope they'll at least let her transform & go up a level to either Charmix (=season2 charmix..) or Enchantix.

Posted by: mightymarty2 Dec 28 2014, 11:29 AM

I think that the transformation looks interesting but I will wait until we she full images. However while Roxy would seem logical. I think she will be a side character like she was in season 6

Posted by: Sen Dec 28 2014, 4:24 PM

Definitely. She just has to be there, even if it is a minor role (just not like in season5 ).

Posted by: P-girl Dec 28 2014, 4:41 PM

They look okay. Better then Mythix, if not a bit too frilly and samey for my tastes. Then again, might be how they're positioned. Things blend in when you're that close together.

Posted by: dreamywinxgirl94 Jan 30 2015, 8:54 PM

Okay, it looks like the Official Transformation Name is Butterflix as confirmed by Michael's Winx Club News.

WINX CLUB SEASON 7 IS EXPECTED TO AIR DURING SPRING 2015 (Not sure if it's for all countries yet)

No information about USA's issue here....even though Nickelodeon International is expecting to continue airing the Winx Club...don't know about the concern for Voice Actors/Actresses yet.



(If you visited the site, they had not updated the information yet)

-------------

Oh and the Doll revealed at the Winx Club Nuremburg Toy Fair 2015 in Germany as a Confirmation for Transformation Name:



I cannot find the actual source.....Michael's Winx Club News had posted there too but other Winx Fan Sites did post the image without the sources either...

Posted by: P-girl Jan 30 2015, 10:06 PM

I admit the harness is pretty smart to get those intricate forms on a doll.

Posted by: mightymarty2 Jan 31 2015, 8:36 AM

I am not sure about the name at the moment but the design from what I can see doesn't look ok. However I will wait until we have seen them all closer to what they will look like in season 7 before I make final judgement.

I must admit I don't understand what is happening with Nick, hopefully we will get more information soon

Posted by: P-girl Jan 31 2015, 11:47 AM

I'm holding off until I see the 3D transformation. Mythix was a dud for me, but I actually vastly prefer Sirenix over Harmonix, so it could go either way.

Posted by: mightymarty2 Jan 31 2015, 9:12 PM

It wouldn't surprise me if that was 2D only and a 3D transformation is announced as for the last 2 seasons we have had 2 transformations. I cannot see that changing as they obviously think it is a good idea.

Posted by: dreamywinxgirl94 Feb 13 2015, 1:52 AM

Another One Promo of Bloom's Butterflix in 2D:


However, this is a bit too early to release this...only the Official Russian Winx Club Posted this in their VK Blog....which is so odd that others (Official Winx Club Sites) had not been posted on Facebook, etc.

Anyway, there is a Season 7 Trailer coming out tomorrow on YouTube. Not sure if it's in Russian or Italian or in all languages.
Translated from Russian to English (Terrible Google Translator)
"Breaking news from magichestkogo measurement: after 24 hours you can see the official trailer for the seventh season of the Winx Club! Do not miss tomorrow at 19.00 on the official channel of the Winx Club in Youtube!"

Check it out tomorrow! =)

From: http://vk.com/winxclubofficialrussia
Michael's Winx Club approves this too, if wondering...even he and the rest of the Winx Fans who were not Russian had trouble finding the sources since Russian Fans do not tell us the sources...which is weird...

Love the 2D Form of Bloom's Butterflix...the only things missing are where are the rest of sparkles on her dress and her wrist glitter? o.o
Can't wait to see the rest of the Winx!

--------------

Edited: Another Promo Banner, still had no idea where the Russian Fans found this...


From: http://vk.com/thewinxclub

Posted by: mightymarty2 Feb 13 2015, 9:35 AM

Interesting I would have thought that an Italian version would be posted at the same time or before a Russian one as Italy is Winx home country.

Posted by: dreamywinxgirl94 Feb 13 2015, 8:41 PM

Agreed Marty, thought Italy supposed to post it first....but Russia was first then all of sudden Italy posted this early morning at their time zone.

Anyway here's the Video!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Kinda strange with the "Come on get up and play, sparkling and wonderful" kinda bothers me. I'm like where's the whole magic, friendship, and girl power "saving the world" thing just like the previous Seasons had?
Overall, I think the song is fine and catchy. xD

I listened to the Italian Version and it's....more the best and better than the English version.

Posted by: P-girl Feb 13 2015, 10:26 PM

Gotta say, I really love the catwoman villain design. Kind of like Cruella DeVille meets 'Cats' (As in the Musical).
The new 2D transformation is... okay. It's not bad, definately better then the Winx Fairy Couture drawings, but if I were to buy a doll.... I'd just pick one doll. Like Harmonix and Sirenix, they just look too much alike for me.
Also... 'We'll Fairy you!' sounds vaguely threatening.
