Fantaghir%C3%B2 series

Fantaghir, alternately titled The Cave of the Golden Rose La Grotta dalla Rosa dOro, is an Italian fantasy series consisting of five television films directed by Lamberto Bava and released between 1991 and 1996. The series is based on Italo Calvinos FantaGhiro the Beautiful and takes place in a fairy tale setting, featuring princesses, princes, witches, wizards and talking animals. It was loosely adopted into a Spanish cartoon series of the same title, and there were also abortive plans for two additional films.

A black cloud is travelling throughout the land, destroying everything it touches. When the black cloud consumes Fantaghirs castle, she allies herself with Prince Parsel to track the black cloud to its origins and stop whoever is casting it. Along the way, Fantaghir is reunited with the wizard Tarabas, who agrees to help them on their quest, and Princess Anjelica, who is in love with Tarabas.Fantaghir is captured by the Black Witch, who has been unable to perform evil magic ever since she helped Fantaghir in the previous films. The witch is about to decapitate Fantaghir when she is suddenly sucked into an alternate reality where she has to join forces with a scoundrel named Aries in defeating a villain who eats children. ........
