Ein Schausteller veranstaltet seinen Karneval in der Nähe des verzauberten Dorfes, während die Bewohner den Collodi-Tag feiern - ein außergewöhnliches Ereignis, bei dem der Goldene Fisch, der Glücksbringer des Dorfes, ausgestellt wird.

Pinocchio und seine Freunde treffen einen geheimnisvollen Wahrsager, Luminas, dessen Vorhersagen sich als wahr und unglaublich präzise erweisen. Als er jedoch erklärt, dass Pinocchio verhext ist und eine Katastrophe auf das Dorf zukommt, geraten die Freunde in Panik. Wieder einmal scheint alles für die Vorhersagen des Wahrsagers zu sprechen.

Le Fiabe e Fantafiabe danno la misura della capacità di Rodari di intrecciare il piacere del racconto e il gusto dell'ironia con l'impegno a valorizzare l'importanza della solidarietà, dell'amicizia e della riflessione critica sul mondo che ci circonda. Prodigiosi mondi fiabeschi che richiamano la tradizione, ladri di oggi astuti ma pasticcioni, viaggi nel futuro che hanno il sapore della scoperta imprevedibile uniscono con straordinaria leggerezza realtà e fantasia, quotidiano buon senso e magia dell’imprevisto.
