The Editor's Spotlight: At the Last Moment / Biker Chick Wedding Crashers
3x19: At the Last Moment / Biker Chick Wedding Crashers
Unedited: We first see the girls learning rhythmic dancing at Alfea. They're still in their dancing outfits while they're watching the news.
Edited: 4K cuts out the dancing scene, so the dancing outfits are completely without context.
Unedited: The girls are watching a news report about Cassandra and Radius' upcoming wedding. Stella rants about how she's apparently considered an undesirable person, and that Cassandra's hair is an abomination :-D Bloom reassures her that the Winx will help her, and "put proper hair back in the palace of Solaria" :-D
Edited: Stella rants about how Cassandra has spelled Radius again. The scene cuts off after Bloom asks: "What's the plan?", omitting the footage that goes with the "proper hair" quip.
It should be noted that the main issue behind the change in Stella's rant in the news scene is that it was necessitated by the earlier change in 3x08 about Radius pretending to still be under her spell :-\ Bloom does think that it's part of his plan, but Stella insists that she spelled him again :-\
The girls talk to Nova about the party:
Unedited:
N: There will be dancers performing in the royal couple's honor. What are they thinking about?
S: About sneaking in to the party of course, and stopping my father, our king, from marrying Countess Cassandra.
Edited:
N: There'll be fire jugglers, dancers, and a famous flying biker act.
S: Hold up, flying bikers at a wedding? Now I know Cassandra re-spelled my dad.
TF thought that Nova was ticked off after the above excerpt and Stella must have said something different, but in the Rai version, Nova is actually being pensive, not ticked off. (This same review also knew about the dancing scene being cut, and she said "Thankfully, that useless scene has been cut" :-\)
Layla suggests sneaking in as the dancers, and Stella turns it down:
Unedited:
Stella: Out of the question. Except for you and me, nobody else can dance to save their soul. They'd know right away we were impostors...
Layla: Yeahh...
Edited:
Stella: No offense to Tecna, but her left foot doesn't know where her right foot is half the time.
(Layla's "Yeah..." is cut and used as a reaction to Nova suggesting they can get biking lessons from the Specialists)
Since Rai did show the dancing scene, we know that Stella is full of herself (it's Stella who gets herself tangled up in ribbons), but since 4K cut it out, Stella could be right for all we know :-\
Unedited: We cut straight from Nova's suggestion to a close-up of Stella at the start of the next scene.
Edited: Nova's suggestion is followed by Layla's "Yeah", as above, and then a shot of a RF transport landing, before cutting to the Stella close-up.
Unedited: Stella shows the boys the flying bikers' uniform and adds: "You know, squeezing into that outfit, that could be the most painful part of this mission :-)"
Edited: Stella showing the uniform is cut, and we only get Stella saying: "Fine, I'm in, but only if you guys promise to find us some really bad uniforms :-)"
Bike training has rearrangement:
Unedited: We get the boys driving first, then a talking scene in the middle, then the girls taking their turn.
Edited: We get the boys driving, then the girls driving, then the talking scene.
Later that night:
Unedited: We see Layla and Musa talking in their dorm (with Musa asking Layla "How can you stay with someone who doesn't fully trust you?"), before cutting to the Specialists' conversation, then back to Layla and Musa again:
Layla: It's just that we're different, like, it's absolutely impossible to have a talk like this with a boy, you know? They always end up making some stupid joke... They're all like, "Big babies, isn't she cute?"
Musa: Not as cute as Ophir though.
Layla: And why are we talking about Ophir?
Musa: Ah-hah...
Layla: No comment, and anyway you already know I'm already promised to someone I don't care about. Time to rest, tomorrow's gonna be a very big day.
I suspect this is meant to add a little dramatic irony considering what happens later...
Edited: The 2nd half of the convo between Musa and Layla is removed, and in the remaining 1st half, Musa is made out to be very reluctant to follow through on breaking up with Riven. After the Specialists' conversation, it immediately shows Chimera waking up the next morning.
Incidentally, Musa's "Ah-hah" in Rai looks very dodgy with the given visuals, and she really did say something in Italian (and Nick):
Italian: "Non mi dirai che non è carino, eh?" ("You won't tell me he's not cute, huh?")
Nick: "Come on, I think you know"
The girls get their uniforms:
Unedited: We're shown everyone getting their uniforms in gift boxes.
Edited: 4Kids cuts out Bloom reacting to Sky's gift box, and then Stella taking the box from Brandon, presumably to cut out a bit of rather iffy animation when (in the original) she randomly guesses her gift is a diamond :-D Her comment is instead: "I didn't think you boys had it in you to do paper and bows", and it goes over the shots of Musa, Tecna and Flora getting their uniforms.
Stella confronts Chimera at the wedding:
Unedited: Stella: "I see you're all ready to take my place Chimera. But I'm afraid you and your scepter will never be up to the task!" She transforms, and Cassandra sees this and decides to send the guards after the girls, so the others transform as well.
Edited: Stella: "Well, at least I'm a real princess, Chimera!" (cuts off before the 2nd part of the above) Cassandra sends the guards after the girls and the girls transform together.
Fairy dust is edited as usual, but we get to see Stella draw her star this time.
Response from mightymarty2: For the first 2 parts it clearly makes more sence the uneddited version and the fact that Radius is spelled is implied given what he knows from when Stella gained her enchantix. Nova is pensive conidering what Stella is surgesting is danagerous and her informing the winx on what was going in would land her in hot water.
Until we get to Musa talking where the uneddited is better. Its all very much 50:50
Again very much 50:50 towards the end
