A Quick Review of Bee and Puppycat

Posted on by Annie Simm

So because my life is chaos, I am again without my beloved laptop, and this will be my first attempt to write and edit a post using only the WordPress app. Let’s hope this goes well!🤞🏾 (I guarantee there will be grammar and spelling, but I’ll come back to edit things after my laptop gets back.)

Also, obviously, there will be some spoilers for the show.

I first found Bee and Puppycat on Frederator’s YouTube channel around 2015 or 2016. I can’t remember if the series had come out yet or if it was just a pilot. All I knew was that it was cute and weird, and I wanted to see more of it. Eventually, Fredorator partnered with VRV, and I watched the new Bee and Puppycat episodes there. After that, the show went on hold for a couple of years for reasons I’m too lazy to research why.

Also, I keep hearing that the second season got leaked, so while some fans might have already seen these episodes, I only saw them when they were released on Netflix.

Don’t look at it like a remake. Look at it like it’s loosely inspired by Winx Club.

A cool chick I work with!

This is great advice to approach any remake with, honestly. Nostalgia can be enlightening in some ways, but in others, it is a hindrance. Luckily, this wouldn’t be much of a problem for me with Fate.

I can barely remember the original Winx Club. I remember little things like Bloom being a long-lost princess, that the three villain witches went to a different school, and the fact that the boys went to a third school. I also remember the style and the flair of the original costumes and how diverse the original cast was.

…And that’s about it.

So, I went in with fresh eyes and an open mind.
