Looking for an old anime, I remember very few details

Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese

Help! I watched an anime on TV when I was very young, but I don't remember much:

- The protagonist seems to be a child
- There is a large creature as a friend (not a dragon, seems to be some kind of beast)
- The story seems to take place in a forest
- It should be a work from the 90s or early 2000s
- The art style is warm, not an action/fighting type

I know these clues are very scarce... but it has been bothering me for many years. Does anyone have any leads?

Why not try posting on Reddit's r/tipofmytongue? There are plenty of ACG archaeology experts there.

Could it be "Dandan no Seikatsu" (Dandan's Life) or some other NHK children's animation? Many works of this type feature forest and animal elements.

Hope you find it! That feeling of not being able to find a cartoon you watched when you were little is really nostalgic. You'll definitely be so touched when you finally find it.

Could it be Mahoujin Tenshi? The art style is warm, with forest scenes. But it's a shoujo work.

The animated version of Pocahontas? Or perhaps one of the World Masterpiece Theater series? Many of them feature forest and animal elements.

Big creatures as friends, forests, the 90s... sounds like "My Neighbor Totoro"? But that one is too classic to be forgotten.

Could it be Dino Adventure? It's an adventure story featuring large creatures and children.

I have a method: go to MAL or AniDB, search for 90s anime, filter by the genres forest/adventure/fantasy, and look through them slowly.

Can you provide some more details? For example, is the protagonist a boy or a girl? What is the color of that large creature? Are there any other characters?

ACG historian here to help! 90s forest + giant creatures... could it be Earth Defender Mao-chan? Or Genshi Shōnen Ryu?
