It feels like magic
(European title: "An Unexpected Event")
So, we meet Bloom and Stella. Let's see what edits this ep has to offer:
Rearrangement: The first ep starts, and there's already an edit. 4Kids opens with the shot of Gardenia panning to the apartment, but then cuts to Bloom biking to the park and running into Stella and her battle with a troll, and they don't 显示 Bloom waking up at her house, frantically getting dressed, talking to her parents, and meeting Mitzi (the snob) until segment two. In the original, it opens on Bloom waking up, frantically getting dressed etc., and it's not until several 分钟 into the 显示 that she runs into Stella's battle. A side effect of the rearrangement is that in some scenes "after" the battle (a minion rips Bloom's pants leg during the battle), Bloom's pants are perfectly fine, until she and Stella are in the bedroom and Bloom points at the ripped pants.
Rearrangement: Even within Stella's battle itself, there is a slight rearrangement: 4Kids has Knut (the bumbling ogre) grab Bloom, and she suddenly glows causing Knut to be thrown. 4Kids then has Knut's minions run at her, and she extends a hand and creates a sudden force-field. 彩虹 shows Bloom extending out her force-field first, and Knut sees this and grabs Bloom out of anger, resulting in her glowing.
Rewrite: As a side effect of rearranging, Bloom frantically putting on her clothes because she thought she had to go to school now becomes Bloom frantically putting on her clothes while telling mom about the girl downstairs.
Rearrangement / Visual 编辑 / Removal: In the original, Bloom wakes up, puts on her clothes, realizes it's not a school day, goes back to sleep while mom talks about her fairy book. In the 4Kids version, Bloom's mom talks about the fairy book, and then the mention on Stella downstairs makes her wake up, and she puts on her clothes. Side effect: 4Kids has to slightly airbrush the scene where mom talks about her fairy book so that Bloom is still in her PJs and her eyes don't blink as in the originallink And a few 更多 scenes are removed as well, like Mom putting down the fairy book on a table. (Also, for some reason, the shot of Bloom in 床, 床上 used here is not only mirrored from the original, but also slightly alteredlink while you're at it, also note thatlink
Visual edit: De-texted newspaperlink
Removal: Some less important scenes have been removed from the parts before (now after) Stella's battle:
The first indoor shot of the series, a shot of Bloom's drawings: one of a fairy and another of her neighborhoodlink
Bloom discussing with her dad why they only ever go to the 海滩 for summer vacation (there's a shot of Bloom as a kid: originally, this is to accompany dad's 评论 that Bloom's still his "sweet little girl"; 4Kids uses this to 显示 how long she's believed in fairies)
Bloom getting a brand new bike (the bike she uses in the "opening" scene) as a gift, with her parents discussing that they can't afford a scooter (about a 30 秒 chop... see link
Rewrite: Three words: "You've got Winx!" Originally, no one actually says the term until the end of episode two, and that's Bloom coming up with a nickname for the group.
Rewrite: 4Kids has turned Stella into a valley girl. Compare the dialog (in response to Bloom saying "I don't know how I did it", in regards to the battle earlier):
Rainbow: A fairy doesn't need to know how, she just does it.
4Kids: It's like I told 你 yesterday: You're loaded with magic!
Generally, Stella sounds like she's yelling many of her lines in 4Kids' version.
Removal: This is probably general for the rest of the series, but... a scene where father Mike tells Stella to stop talking nonsense fades to black before fading in to Knut etc. appearing in a power station. 4Kids edits this to a simple cut.
Removal: 4Kids ends segment two on a close-up shot of Knut's hunting troll. 彩虹 continues with the troll pulling back, and then Knut and co. walking out of the power station and seguing into the bedroom scene with Stella and Bloom (the first scene of segment three) with a close-up of a flying leaf (they do retain, however, the leaf that segues between the shot of the power station and the shot of Knut and co. arriving). Chop time: 8 secondslink
Not an edit: Okay, it's related to edits. 4Kids freezes the close-up shot of the troll for a bit right before taking the break. They apparently do this trick a lot, since they also use it in the 下一个 ep.
Removal: After Knut's hunting troll has 迷失 the scent trail (since Bloom has jumped into Stella's express portal, originally referred to as a "bottomless postcard"), 彩虹 has a brief scene with Bloom's parents talking about Stella being a fairy.
Rearrangement / Addition / Rewrite: It's a mix of all three, actually, as after Bloom and Stella go through Stella's express portal. Stella describes all the schools in the Magix realm in detail, which she originally doesn't do until the 下一个 episode (she originally only gives a brief 描述 of Alfea and make her offer), over visuals of scenes from all the schools from later eps. She then also mentions inviting the Red 喷泉 guys (incidentally, "Fonterossa" in the original Italian) over, originally mentioned during the later battle with Knut and the troll (and she originally mentions that she sent for them to help deal with the two).
Not an edit: Just before getting into the express portal, Bloom's pants are perfectly fine in both versions. (She has just earlier pointed to the ripped up pants.)
Visual 编辑 / Removal: First, 4Kids mirrors the end of Stella's transformation, and then cuts the shot of the hunting troll that immediately follows originally. So, it cuts straight from Stella transforming to Stella kicking the troll.
Removal: Just before the end of segment three, 彩虹 originally has a brief scene of Mitzi complaining about the racket around the house during the later battle (this is replaced with a shot of Bloom and Stella). Also cut is a brief scene of Kiko walking around under a pot, and a brief scene of Stella mentioning that she just called the Specialistslink
