I Have Exiting News!, movie date Options

[winxclub101]

Just recently my friend from italy sent me some news that iginio straffi had a interview in italy and he said that he was planing on releasing the movie in autumn of 2007 but since winx club isnt so popular in the usa he was working on it to try to make it a hit so he said that theres a chance that they might release the movie in early 2008 or in other words january 2008!! ( srry about the mistake i made when i was spelling the topic name its just that i was really exited XD)

you have a point there, in the interview he did say early 2008 but that doesnt necessarily mean it has to be january, but lets just hope it is on january

[Abby]

[Boo]

Same here. It'd be like, Happy 2008 everyone, now here's the movie you've been waiting for for over a year. lol. Thanks for the info.

[musaenchantixthe...]

lol boo. i hope its in those three months too.

[StellaRocks]

same here or i might go crazy but i think i'm all ready ^_^ oh well

[Abby]

well I think it should come out then. I mean normal movies come out all around the world 1-2 months between releases, so the reasonable dates for it to come out would be in january, february, or march (that is kinda far but seeing as it is only an animated film)

[StellaRocks]

ihope in those months

[musaenchantixthe...]

you make a good point there abby.

Heres a article i found about the movie: (and notice the part that is underlined)

ROME -- Billing itself as "The Italian Disney," Iginio Straffi's production house Rainbow has conquered a large chunk of the world with the television series "Winx Club."

Conceived, co-written and directed by Straffi, the show is a hit with young girls and apparently their parents, nevermind the fact that the Winx's scantily clad, ergonomically incorrect bodies make Barbie look as frumpy as Aunt Bea.

Now Straffi has made his first feature film. "Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom" continues where the third television season left off. No doubt it will work best with those who already are followers of the TV show.

In Italy, the film opened strong, clocking up nearly &#x20AC;2 million its first weekend. So far, it has sold to almost 46 territories. The film should do well in the markets in which the show and Winx merchandising are popular, such as Europe and North America. The international rollout is set for the beginning of 2008, giving the animation team an extra month to rework glitches in the Italian version.
"Fashion fairies," best friends and defenders of the universe, Bloom, Flora, Stella, Aisha (Layla in some countries other than Italy), Musa and Tecna graduate from the Alfea magic school. They must now return to their planets of origin -- except for Bloom, who just discovered she is the princess of the lost kingdom of Domino. But Domino was turned into rock (along with its inhabitants, including Bloom's parents) by Baltor and his three witches, the Winx's arch-nemeses.

So Bloom returns to Earth, to the adopted parents who raised her and a routine existence in which her highly developed skills for saving the universe are not needed. To make matters worse, her boyfriend Sky is harboring a secret and for weeks does not answer his cell phone.

Eventually, Bloom's yearning to meet her biological parents, from whom she was separated as a baby, will help her overcome her fears of "the dark side." And the gang will band together (with their boyfriends, all sporting fashion dos and special powers that are not as potent as the girls') to battle the witches, in the hopes of freeing Domino from its almost 20-year spell.

The themes of the search for home/identity amid rites of passage are here treated with a surprising lack of originality. The bar has been set high by the likes of Pixar and DreamWorks, as well as the world-class animation coming out of Asia and Africa.

The CGI animation rather straightforward and at 90 minutes the story should wear out older viewers' patience. The continuous harping on good having to win out over evil seems less a message than a slogan in lieu of story development.

The stereotypical teenagers' endless chatter about their joys, sadness and fears -- not to mention clothes -- is punctuated by action/battle scenes that ultimately lack suspense. You don't have to know the Winx Club world to quickly gather that none of its perfectly pretty boys and girls could experience anything other than a happy ending. Nevertheless, there's plenty of colorful eye candy to look at along the way, mostly the fairies' outfits and hairstyles, for which they are known and loved.

Straffi may also strike gold with the soundtrack, especially the very catchy and sellable "All the Magic" by Natalie Imbruglia. Written specifically for the film, the producers are hoping the song will be a chart-topper.

Thanks for posting that

[P-girl]

Yeah, thanks for that, altough the review is obviously written by a proffesional critic who isn't a Winx fan. We call them 'Zuurpruimen' in Holland (Sour Prumes.).

Sorry, Pet Peeve.
