I’m not going to watch this, only because they removed Tecna and Layla/Aisha from the series, Winx Club isn’t Winx Club if the group isn’t complete.
Yes!! Looking so forward to it.
Looking forward to it.
They didn’t remove them, but they will probably not appear in the first season. It’s understandable since Aisha was originally introduced in the second season, but I don’t get the one with Techna tho:(
I am so excited for the Winx Saga (almost as much as I am for the Avatar: The Last Airbender remake!) Two amazing Nicktoons in live-action!
