Followed by Fantaghirò 5 (1996) (TV)

I Love This Show!!!!!!!

My most favorite is the first movie. Fantaghiro is truly my inspiration of my dream princess in my book.

Although I prefer watching it in Italian but TV2 only had it in English. I want to buy the full movies but it is rare in Malaysia. Maybe I go to Italy and went through all their DVD stores.

I watch this... when I was 7 or 8.... the TV2 made re-runs every year but it stop when I was about 10.. sad...

The perks in the first movie is when Fantaghiro disguise as a man. My favorite part is at the swimming competition, when she wore a lot of clothes and made a desperate sigh. So cute.

Although few awkward scene like, How come her hair grew long after she cut it? And how come the short hair style is the same through ALL the movies? And grew back LONG?!?!?!? She wear a wig or something??? After the first movie, the second movie seems nice but I don't like the puppet part and the White Witch actress had change.

In the third movie, I don't like Tarabas much and Romualdo part in the movie only in a few minutes.

What worst in the forth, THERE ARE NO ROMUALDO!!! My interest dull around Tarabas parts. Still hanging around with a married woman?? I accept if the producer gave him a love interest but Fantaghiro is Romualdo's!! I don't like much a lot of new characters as I prefer the old ones. As the movies grew, the lesser the original characters is.

There's a lot of voice castings, re-scene and so on.

But still, The Cave of The Golden Rose 1 is worth the full stars.
