This movie was done by some of the same people who did the Nickelodeon episodes of Winx Club, including the Americans of Paramount/Viacom who SHOULD know what they're doing, so I am surprised that the English version is so much clunkier compared to the original Italian one. I watched some of the original Italian and all of the English version, but the Italian version was easier to sit through and I don't even speak that language. In the English dub, there were some lip sync issues and out-of-place slang (very Dreamworks-y), and the voice actors did a "meh" job, especially Timo (the main character). The Italian ones just seemed to try harder, plus in Italy, the voices were an all-star cast including Belen Rodriguez. The 3D animation was the best part, and it looks very similar to the 3D scenes in Winx. Some of the scenes look well-lit and beautiful, but other times the faces look too stiff/doll-like and it is distracting.
