<p>In the 4th season of Winx Club, the main characters get a new power up, the Believix, and it is a mess. They each get a new power to use at their own discretion. Here is a quick description of what these powers let them do:</p><ul><li>Strength of Life (Bloom): It lets her make people believe in magic and help them overcome their weaknesses. She decides what qualifies as a weakness. She overrides a person's free will to make them believe in magic, which just so happens to make the girls stronger, and rewrite their personality if she doesn't like it.</li><li>Dawn of Light (Stella): It lets her make people more cooperative and accepting. Basically, she overrides another person's free will so they do what she says.</li><li>Breath of the World (Flora): It lets her make people show more appreciation for nature. Nice on paper, but it basically makes people ignore potentially more important tasks, or forego certain technologies, in favor of nature.</li></ul>Mrs. Doubtfire

There is a very good reason why parents should be vigilant with everything their children watch. You never know what hidden mysteries are easter egged in the stories. I remember "The Little Mermaid" scandal about the.... phallic nature of one of the castle towers. Shocking. Remember adults are creating these shows. And every once and awhile something a little more.... PG rated gets slipped in.
Redditor u/Animeking1108 wanted to discuss the several times children's entertainment has been a bit on the edge by asking.... What dark moment in a kid show threw you off-guard?
