The six fairies of the popular
Italian animated televison series Winx Club devised by Iginio
Straffi are soon to have their own dedicated area in a theme
park in China, Straffi's company Rainbow S.r.l said in a
statement Wednesday.
The show featuring the fairy Bloom and her five best
friends, Stella, Musa, Tecna, Flora and Layla - who call
themselves the Winx - will also be broadcast in Mandarin by
Chinese state broadcaster CCTV under a deal signed with Rainbow
in Beijing.
"The theme park is to be located south of Shanghai and it
will have an area completely dedicated to the Winx with
attractions and activities for all the family," Rainbow said.
There are also plans to introduce the three Winx Club
movies produced on the back of the successful TV series to
China.
Winx Club premiered in Italy in January 2004 on state
broadcaster RAI as an "action and fantasy show combined with
comedic elements" in which "three special schools educate modern
fairies, ambitious witches, and supernatural warriors, and
wizards from all over the magical universe" according to
Straffi's company's website.
