3''[=PopPixie=]'' is a [[ShortRunners Short-Lived]] miniseries featuring SuperDeformed pixie characters. These pixies were first seen in Season 2 of ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'', but aside from that, there's no relation to ''Winx''. It's been called a SpinOff of ''Winx Club'' by some, but it was not advertised as one. The show is set in the village of Pixieville, where pixies, gnomes, elves, and talking animals go about their daily lives. In the city's center is the Tree of Life, which grows "Magic Pops." When a pixie uses his or her powers for goodness, he or she may be given a Pop and become a "[=PopPixie=]."

5The show is aimed at a much younger set compared to ''Winx Club'' and never really caught on. While the pixies were somewhat popular with younger fans, ''[=PopPixie=]'' was never meant to be anything more than a limited series. Its only season aired for two months in Italy and no followup episodes were made.

9!This series provides examples of:
10
11* AlternateUniverse: With the [[GenderFlip Gender Flips]], the Tree of Life playing a different role in the story, and the pixies having transformations (which they didn't have in the series), it's probably not set in the same world of ''Winx Club''.
12* {{Animorphism}}: Amore accidentally turns herself into a fish in one episode.
13* BedSheetGhost: Camilla does this to Damien in episode 17.
14* BreakfastInBed: Cherie, the richest pixie in town, has a breakfast buffet and concert in bed every morning, but her staff says she never eats more than a single strawberry. When Lockette winds up taking Cherie's place, she can't stand to let the food go to waste and gorges on it.
15* DrivesLikeCrazy: Lockette weaves in and out of traffic and is not afraid to modify her car on the go to bypass traffic.
16* GadgeteerGenius: Fixit has built many gadgets, such as robot helpers.
17* GenderFlip: Livy, Digit, Zing, Glim, and Jolly are boys.
18* GrowsOnTrees: The Magic Pops.
19* {{Invisibility}}: Camilla's special ability.
20* LovePotion: Amore makes these in her shop.
21* MagicalGirl: Pixies need to transform into Pop Pixies in order to unlock their full powers, though both boys can also transform like this.
22* OneGenderRace: Averted. In ''Winx Club'', pixies were all female, but there are male pixies in this series.
23* OurElvesAreDifferent: They're {{Evil Counterpart}}s to the Pixies.
24* PlotTailoredToTheParty: Well, the pixies can gain their magic pops for using their talents for goodness, so naturally there are several episodes like this.
25* PowerOfTheStorm: Cherie is the Pixie of Weather. She tends to change the weather based on her current mood, from sunny to stormy and back again.
26%%* QuarterHourShort
27* RunsWithScissors: Pam runs and flies all over the place with her trusty scissors, ready to cut up stuff whenever she needs to.
28* ScaryStingingSwarm: In "Camp Pixie," Narcissa, Lockette and Amore are all stung by wasps after disturbing their underground nest.
29* SpinOff: Technically a spinoff of ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'', even though Rainbow's official site called it a separate show. Due to the gender flips and absence of the Winx, it seems to be in a different universe entirely.
30* SuperStrength: Caramel's power.
31* SweepingAshes: In one episode, Martino suffers through this when he tests Cherie's emotion-based weather powers. Lockette vacuums up his ashes and his intact eyeballs and he comes back okay a few scenes later.
32* TeleportSpam: Lockette can do this when in Pop Pixie form.
33* TransformationTrinket: The Magic Pops.
34* UnclePennybags: Cherie is very wealthy and quite a bit vain, but she's a nice person to be with in general, as long as you can deal with her frequent mood swings.
35* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Morpho can turn himself into anything he wants, like a fish, a lamp, or other people. He can also do this to other people as well, though he's a bit more limited in that aspect.
36* WorldTree: The Tree of Life, the source of magic.
