Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom (Italian: Winx Club - Il Segreto Del Regno Perduto) is an Italian CGI animated feature film, based on the television series Winx Club, taking place after the events of the first three seasons. The film had premiere on November 30, 2007 in Italian cinemas.
Rainbow S.r.l. offered the film to the Cannes Film Festival in 2007. Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia sings the film's ending song, "All the Magic".
Straffi has noted that it was difficult to animate the girls' hair correctly in 3D.
The story begins sometime after Valtor's defeat. An unseen narrator speaks about a girl who discovered that she is a fairy and a princess: Bloom. Though her story is a magical one, it is one without an ending. The story will only have one when the girl writes the ending—i.e., creates the ending.
The scene changes to six cloaked figures: the Winx. Bloom and her friends are on a search for Bloom's birth parents, King Oritel and Queen Miriam, which could change Bloom's life forever. The girls are on their way to find Hagen, a blacksmith who once forged the Sword of King Oritel. The girls successfully sneak into Hagen's castle, but are forced to battle his robot guards. Fortunately, Bloom ends the battle by using her Dragon Flame to destroy the power source. Hagen then holds Bloom at sword-point for trespassing his castle, luckily Faragonda arrives in time to ease him.
At Alfea, Hagen's comments on the decoration of the school, Faragonda explains that some fairies are leaving the school to end their journey and become Guardian Fairies: all of the Winx, except Bloom, as her Enchantix is still incomplete. Bloom then asks Hagen if he can sense the sword that he forged for her father, a mystical sword that can never be separated from its rightful master. Hagen states that he has been trying all this time to trace the sword, but has not sensed it at all. Hagen tells her that she must face reality.
