Winx Club (English, Cinélume)

This is the first English dub to be produced and second to be publicly released of the series, produced by Cinélume Film Vidéo Inc. and ordered by Rainbow S.p.A., the show's production company. Although it was released on DVD in 2004, its television premiere was on Okto in September 2005. While the dub was almost exclusively aired in, this dub has also aired in parts of Asia, in the Caribbean, South Africa, Australia (for season 4) and as an alternate language track in continents like South America. This version was more faithful to the original Italian version, with accurately adapted scripts with no censorship or plot and name edits, all of which were not the case throughout the run of the 4Kids dub, with the exception of the character of Aisha still being renamed Layla.

Furthermore, this dub received a bit more involvement from Rainbow, as all all the songs from season 1 were covered by the Italian singer and production company of the songs from the original Italian dub. The singer for seasons 2 and 3 was also a member of that production company, and in season 4, Italian singers sang the songs in both languages once again. Only the first four seasons, the original run of the show, were dubbed. It also serves as a base for most if not all of the international dubs of the original four seasons, leaving the 4Kids version exclusive to English speaking regions.

Season 4 of this dub aired on Boomerang in Australia, after Australia had aired the 4Kids Dub for the first 3 seasons of the show. This dub received wider recognition when it was uploaded onto YouTube in the early 2010s by official English Winx Club channels; ever since, it has nicknamed the RAI English dub by fans.

This dub has a mixed reception for English-speaking fans, as it is praised for it's faithfulness to the Italian script, but it has been criticized for its errors and lackluster voice acting. However, longtime fans of the series still recommend this dub for first time viewers, as it keeps the original Italian canon intact.

History
As the series' first season was finishing production in late 2003 to be broadcasted in 2004, the series began being sold to international distributors, with Rainbow commissioning this dub around that time for the purpose of being used as a base by dubbing studios instead of the original Italian version.

In October 2003, 4Kids Entertainment secured the rights to the series in most English-speaking territories and produced their own English dub which premiered in May 2004. However, this dub was used as a base for the French dub, which was the first dub to be publicly released of the series, as it was released on February 11, 2004, just two weeks after the series was released in Italy, and many more dubs afterwards.

Errors
Because of this dub's faithfulness to the original Italian version, a lack of editing would cause some translation errors to be maintained:
 * In episodes 109 and 114, Lucy gets Mirta's name wrong by calling her Mista instead.
 * In episode 116, Cloudtower's name is left untranslated from the Italian version in one line, as Bloom still calls it "Torrenuvola".
 * Stella's own voice actress accidentally says "Stella's my best friend" in episode 309.
 * In episode 312, the audio of some of Flora's lines were doubled and sometimes different as well. At one moment, she says "Miele, where are you going?" and "Miele, what are you doing?" at the same time.
 * In episode 403, Bloom screaming "Fermi!" (tr. "Stop!") was left untranslated, and Angela Galuppo still spoke the line as how it originally was.
 * Some title cards of the dub are misspelt, such as "Musa's Song" being "Musa Song's", and "The Wizards' Attack" being "The Wizards' Attak".
 * Since the Cinélume dub was produced by English native speakers, it can be assumed that these localized title cards were handled by Rainbow in Italy.

Censorship

 * Many years later after its initial run, Rainbow removed official and most third-party's uploads of episode 12 "Miss Magix" as well as from YouTube, presumably due to racial connotations in the scene where a girl's hair became a thicker afro. The episode is still available on Apple TV and some Amazon Prime Video releases, and can be seen on DVD. Rainbow has not given any official statement for this action.
 * Kids Zone Pakistan dubbed season 1 and released it on their YouTube channel in 2022, including this episode, making it currently the only officially available instance of this episode on YouTube.
