PopPixie is an Italian animated television miniseries created by Iginio Straffi. Its only season aired on Rai 2 for just over two months, from 10 January to 22 March 2011. The show features a cast of pixies, who were first introduced as secondary characters in the second season of Winx Club. PopPixie is aimed at younger viewers, with an intended audience of 4 to 6-year-olds.
The miniseries was first announced in May 2009, and its first episode was previewed at MIPCOM. After Nickelodeon became a co-developer of the main Winx Club series, the company announced that PopPixie would air on its global network of channels beginning in late 2011.
PopPixie is set in a small town called Pixieville, which is inhabited by creatures like pixies, elves, and gnomes. The town is fed from the Tree of Life, an ancient tree that provides the Pixies' MagicPops, globes that contain good magic related to a pixie's special talent. If a pixie uses her or his talent for good, she or he will receive a MagicPop and become a PopPixie.
