Winx DVDs: Clearing the Air

So which dub is it?

Well judging by the fact the "New Video Group" decided to add the word "Original" to this DVD release, It should be pretty obvious that this is the Rai English Dub. Sadly their are a lot of people who seem to think this may be the 4kids dub. Let me give some reasons why I am positive that this is in fact the Rai English Dub.

1.) 4kids doesn't have the Winx license anymore.

When Rainbow revoked 4kids of the Winx Club license they had to cancel the DVD release of Winx Club: Fire and Flame which was the 2nd half of Season 3.

If 4kids couldn't even release the last 13 episodes of Winx that they had, why would they go back and re-release Season 1 which is still easy to find online.

2.) 4KMedia (what is left of 4kids) stated that they are working on Yu-Gi-Oh related products and have not made mention of anything else.

New Video Group is in fact releasing the original 4kids Dub of Yu-Gi-Oh on DVD, but that release is distributed by 4K media while Winx is not.

3.) Netflix has the Rai English dub and episode titles even though it lists the 4kids voice actors.

Amazon.com lists the 4kids voice actors but the episode titles in the DVD's description are from the Rai English dub. The Rai English voice actors aren't exactly well known so It is logical why they are quickly overlooked for the 4kids voice actors.

Also the New Video Group website states that they upload some of their products on Netflix so there is your connection.

4.) The Witches aren't called the Trix in the 4kids dub.

 For the 2nd Volume to mention the Trix while the 4kids dub does not call the Witches the Trix should let you know that this is not the 4kids dub.

So there you have it!
I will be reviewing the DVDs when they are released.

The officiall Website states that Vol.1 will be released on the 11th of March while Vol.2 along with the Box set is released on the 25th of March. Unfortunately all online retailers say that all 3 will be released on the 25th of March, so we will just have to wait and see.

Off Topic: Would you guys like me to review the Totally Spies Season 1-3 Box set too!
