The scenic event held under Sicily's active Mt. Etna volcano played host to the first three episodes from "Winx Club" season seven before welcoming Iginio Straffi, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rainbow S.r.l. and the creator of "Winx Club", to the stage to accept a coveted Citta di Taormina award.
In true "Winx Club" style, the town of Taormina was even turned pink for the day with a variety of fairy-themed activities taking place throughout.
"Winx Club" follows the adventures of a group of young fairies. "Winx Club" series seven carries on the theme of recent Winx releases by carrying a strong environmental message. In this adventure the fairies discover the real importance of the rare Fairy Animals, which they must save from Kalshara, an evil shape-shifter and her clumsy brother, Brafilius. Each Fairy Animal has their own special talent, which is necessary for the balance of the Magic Universe. The theme of endangered animals recurs throughout the series as the Winx establish an Animal Rescue Park on Earth, where they look after vulnerable animals such as pandas and tigers. The girls also undertake missions in the Magic Dimension and Earth to raise public awareness about the animal cause. This builds to their final mission – to discover the ultimate power of the Fairy Animals, which can give control over all the animals of the Magic Universe. The Winx will also be confronted with two new terrible villains. "Winx Club" season seven is currently rolling out on Nickelodeon's global network of channels, including Nickelodeon UK & Ireland and Nickelodeon HD UK, where new episodes currently premiere every Saturday from 7:00am (repeated from 8:00am on Nick+1)!
