[dreamywinxgirl94]

Did anyone notice this? It looks like they changed Winx Club's 3D Looks. =S (For the 3rd Time)

Before (From Winx Club Magical Adventure Movie)

Musa: http://i49.tinypic.com/ivilww.jpg
Aisha/Layla: http://i49.tinypic.com/rswh04.jpg (Can't find her new pose)

*I notice the name of Layla seems to be vanishing now. The Official Winx Club Site had renamed Layla as Aisha now due to the new wallpaper.*

Now (Maybe for Season 5 New CGI Animation Development?)

What does everyone think about the New Look? =S It looks like the same model as used in the Season 5 Promo Trailer.
I'm even curious about the 40 New Episodes? I'm not sure if it's both for Seasons 5 and 6 as 40 each or they are decreasing the episodes (hope not). Originally, it's suppose to be 26 Episodes each. At least for now, they are still in development.

Can't wait for JAKKS Pacific! xD

I don't like it. I really hope that they do not do the 5th season in CGI. I think it is cool to do the movies like that, but I just really like the 2d and think it's weird to change animation styles when the show has already had 4 successful seasons in 2d.

I feel like that is how season 5 will be though, since nick has from the start used the cgi believix characters as advertisement.

[mightymarty2]

I think the new look, looks more realistic. Although I think they look a bit pale. However its going to take some time to get used to the new look. I think I prefer the old look but that

[Sen]

Does anyone else think they kind of look like Barbie now? =s

[Abby]

Yeah, they kind of do. I just like drawn animation way better in general I suppose.

[RenaEnchantix]

I'm not really sure these are new 3D looks, I think they're just photo-shopped versions of the 2nd movie pictures. the hair is way more realistic than in previous pictures, and since hair is one of the toughest things to do in 3D i doubt that these are real. it's improbable that the new season has a higher budget than the last two movies. these were probably just photo-shopped to make the girls look prettier, though it kind of backfired in my opinion.

Yeah, I don't see how or why they would make the next season in cgi, I always thought of it as a special thing for the movies since a movie is a bigger deal than a tv show. I think their eyes look kind of huge in these pictures.

well tv shows use cgi all the time, it's just never as good as movie cgi. just look at the kung fu panda show, or penguins of Madagascar. those are both in CGI, but not nearly as good animation as the films.

CGI is much cheaper to animate than 2D, since it takes a smaller production team, so that's probably why they're making the switch. the animation just won't be as good, since their smaller budget will be spread out across 40 half four episodes as opposed to a 90 minute long film.

[Abby]

Oh I see. I just don't think they should do it when there has already been 4 seasons in 2d.

[Sen]

These Winx "looks" are also used for the doll packages by Jakks -> http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7165/6854905...7300aaabe_b.jpg (the package on the left side, Winx Rock Band)

[Abby]

That's why I think that the new seasons will be like this, since all the advertisement on nick is cgi look as well as on those boxes.

[dreamywinxgirl94]

I really like the 2D and the old look of the 3D than the new look of 3D. =S (Looks like some time to get use to....)

Yeah, I notice the dolls packages all have it. =S Could be meant this will be used as CGI Animation for Season 5...but they said the Series will be kept as 2D. I hope...=S Then Iginio Straffi said it will be in 3D....erm...

Someone mentioned that the underwater will be as CGI while the rest will be 2D....I don't know for sure....confusing...

To me...I hope the Winx aren't turning into Barbie...they kinda look alittle...is it me...or all the eyes looked the same size? Musa's eyes looked alittle big instead of narrow..=S

[Abby]

I think that the cgi is a nice treat to have for the movies in order to have something different, but I don't think it should be used for the actual series.

"New" 3D image:

[Abby]

I feel like they have the same facial features.

[Vaughanh7]

I....like it >.< I didn't really like the idea of the new series being 3D, whether completely or partly. But I'm opening up to the idea, imagine the transformations, the effects, just everything about it! Omg, it'll be awesome!

[Abby]

I think it will be cool if it's just certain transformations, I still like 2d the best though.
