Plot

Winnie (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl) is a friendly, yet somewhat inept witch, and a "fairy godmother drop-out". Her catch phrase when casting a spell is "Ippity-pippity-pow." When the magic spell is cast, the "Jet Screamer" entrance cue from The Jetsons is heard.

Winsome Witch appeared in the "Fender Bender 500" segment of Wake, Rattle, and Roll. She is shown to have a cat named Lucky (vocal effects provided by Don Messick) as her driving partner and she drives a cauldron-modeled monster truck called the Sonic Broom, which also has on it a talking skeleton named Axel (voiced by Neil Ross).

Winsome Witch appears in the Wacky Races episode "Little Pink Riding Hood", voiced by Nicole Parker.

Winsome Witch appears in Jellystone!, voiced by Lesley Nicol.[3][4] She now has a British accent.[5] Winsome Witch works in the cafeteria at Jellystone Hospital. In "Face of the Town", she partook in a race in Jellystone to determine who would become the new face of Jellystone. Like the "Fender Bender 500", she has Axel on her car. The episode "Spell Book" reveals that Winsome Witch is responsible for using her magic to decorate Jellystone on Halloween and is shown to live near a haunted house. Her role was reduced in the third season in where she was now a background character, though she does have a speaking appearance in the episode "Choir Choir, Pants on Fire".
