The Editor's Spotlight: Wizard's Anger / The Spell of the Elements

3x25: Wizard's Anger / The Spell of the Elements


After Valtor releases his spells on Red Fountain, we see Saladin and Griffin having a conference call with Faragonda.
Unedited: Both teachers are animated with full opacity, like they are physically present in FG's room.
Edited: 4Kids gives the characters some transparency, and adds a bit of a scanning effect on Saladin. It also appears that they have replaced the background for Saladin to facilitate this change.

There are quite a few minor snips here and there during the next couple minutes. For example, after Sky sets up a bomb inside one of the tornadoes, 4K cuts out Timmy saying "Roger that" before telling Helia to activate the bombs.

Flora reaches into the dry lake bed.
Unedited: Flora's hand goes through the dry lake bed with a little water shimmer effect.
Edited: 4Kids adds a red glow to the scene when Flora's hand penetrates the bed.

4Kids edits out the fairy dust (as usual), but not the obvious animation mistake (Bloom holding a Water Star instead of her fairy dust bottle as she's supposed to be).

More minor snips, as the Winx see the water returning to the lake bed:
Unedited: The original version pans over from Musa et al. to Tecna and Layla.
Edited: It just cuts from Musa et al. to Tecna and Layla.

Unedited: After the Trix leave through some hole in the roof, we pan over to the Winx before showing water bursting from holes in the walls.
Edited: The Trix leave, and we cut to the water bursting from the walls.

After the Trix are all washed up (until season 5, anyway :-) ), we get a quick whistlestop tour of Andros, Solaria and Oppositus (3x14) returning to normal (think Return of the Jedi, special edition epilogue ;-))

Unedited: We're shown the realms without anything extra.
Edited: We're given textual captions telling where each place is. Probably most useful for Oppositus

Also...
Unedited: We spend quite a bit of time on Andros, including scenes of Ligea watching some of the mermaids twirling in celebration, and Tressa (3x05) hugging her fellow mermaid friends.
Edited: Most of the sequence is removed, leaving just shots of the portal guards returning to normal and a wide shot of the mermaids twirling.


Response from mightymarty2: These edits don't make much difference except for minor cosmetic differences. Although the text is helpful.
