Can't say the pixies really offered anything to the story. They were used so infrequently that we didn't get to know them very well. They already had 6 main characters as it was, and throwing six more into the mess was overdoing it. They just didn't have time to go into enough detail to make their appearances worthwhile. I'm sure they only added them so that they could merchandise more dolls out the whazoo, and only in the name of profit. My concern is what do they offer? What is so helpful about their presence? They didn't really help out with anything and were more of a liability to the Winx girls (getting captured, almost leading villains to their village, etc.). It seemed like they were treated more like younger children that the girls had to babysit. I think I would have preferred if each girl had their own Pixie pet friend, and perhaps it could talk and have a special power or capability.
Quite true
