This DVD contains the 1st 5 eposides of the the Winx Club Series. The series is about Bloom, an Earth girl who realizes she has magical fairy powers. Bloom travels to another world to study magic and makes new fairy friends Stella, Flora, Musa and Techna. She also meets mean witches Icy, Stormy and Darcy who try to use their power against her and the Red Fountain boys who are studying about Heroics and Bravery. My six year loves the Winx Club. Although the eposides play over and over again on Cartoon network I bought the DVD to take with us on long trips because she never seems to tire of it.

Winx Club is the best show ever!!! It's about friendship and girl power! It's got heroes, fairies, witches, magic, and more! A wonderful storyline, this fabulous show from Italy has got fans all over the world!!! I may be an adult, but I know what high quality is, and Winx Club has won my heart! I find myself relating to the characters, having unique qualities with each, sharing and caring for one another, cheering in each episode, and enjoying a truly work of art. Winx Club is great for all ages and I seriously and highly recommend it for all!

I'm eleven years old, and I think this was a great DVD!!! I watched it over and over lots of times. I am a new fan of the Winx Club TV series, and I didn't get to see the first episodes. So I bought this DVD to catch up on it, and I liked it a lot. I watch the Winx Club TV show every Saturday morning at 9:30 est. on 4kids TV. Winx Club is about fairies who go to a magical school called Alfea and their adventures. I would recommend it to anyone who would be interested in a cool show about witches, fairies, monsters, trolls, ogres, heroes, and magic!

I don't understand why anyone has to complain about this DVD here. This is a place to help people decide whether they want to buy it, not diss it because of how it compares to another. If you don't like it, don't watch it or buy it. Winx Club is fascinating and this is coming from a 31 yr. old. W.I.T.C.H. is also, and does happen to be my favorite of the two but only by a minimal amount. Each show has positive and negative qualities about them and they are sooo not "identical", except for the fact that the girls have magical powers and transform (only changing clothes and hair). I actually had similar feelings about "Ghost Whisperer" being too much like "Medium" but boy was I wrong...I love both and they may have a similar foundation but from there, they are different and unique.

Back to Winx vs. W.I.T.C.H. - When both shows appeared on American T.V. I was excited to have them to watch and the more shows the better. I just don't like some of the other cartoons out there and am glad both of these are around. I love well made cartoons that adults as well as children can relate to or just watch for the pure enjoyment of it.

As for Vol. 1 only having 5 episodes, I don't know if it's worth it to buy it for the price. (This is my reason for the 3 stars rating). If you just love the show on T.V. and have to have it, then buy it. Recording the episodes in order can be a royal pain, so buying it may be the best option. I don't understand why they can't just put out a boxed set of the complete first season as they do with most non-cartoon shows. If they do that, I'll be sure to buy it, unless of course the seasons only have five episodes each, but I doubt that.

I don't really like winx club that much but I have to admit it has a good story line. It is about a girl named Bloom with the power of the dragon fire that is tooken to a school on magic to learn more about herself by opening her heart and believing in herself. It may sound like something a teen would like but it has a lot of childish twist.
In a way it is kinda of educational. It teaches to believe in yourself,never give up on what you think is right and good will always tryumph over evil.
Even if you are a teen it still is worth watching. Bloom also has her friends Flora,Stella,Tecna and Muica to help her on her magical advetures. So it also teaches about friendship as well.
Over all yeah, it's worth buying!

Yeah, yeah. People are annoyed to heck about Winx Club resembling W.I.T.C.H, and it is a little bit annoying, thanks to the resemblance. But that does NOT mean that this is a bad show, because it isn't! For the right people, usually the mystical theme that gets you. My brother and sister like it quite a bit, and so do I. Bash all you want about the show, show's how immature you can become over a simple show. Anyway; this is great for people who like mystical/magical themes.

I really like the caracters in the show, especially Bloom and her pet rabbit Kiko. Even I am over the age of 13, this series brings out "he kid in me."

I have waiting and waiting for the series "Winx Club" to come out on DVD and I would just like to say this "IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!"

I agree with the others, specialy, Christina (a kid at heart). It is about time this was released on DVD, and wanting and wishing alot more to come soon as well.

I am an adult at the age myself of 30, but still love the Winx Club, and the show really also brings out the kid in me.

This is really a wonderful cartoon and story for all younger girls who may be into this. This year will be a very nice 'Winx Year' with new dolls just out, the DVD now and another one on the way, and more toys and such, plus the Winx Club video games due out in this Nov. til Feb. of next year, this is indeed great times to enjoy and love the Winx Club.

My 9 and 12 year old girls watch these episodes over and over again. It's like "Harry Potter" for girls except it's "good fairies" battling "bad witches". Other than the skimpy costumes the characters wear sometimes, I have nothing bad to say. I've watched a few episodes and they have some good lessons to teach.

This DvD is part of a good series. Nice plot and characters with some twists in both to make the series more interesting. As with most younger animation the plot can be rather predictable at times but it does contain some unexpected twists to the series. The animation is good and expected for the young generation. If anyone has kids they will probably enjoy this series. This is a good family DVD.
