A baby dinosaur wakes alone in the world. She doesn't panic, doesn't rage at the unfairness. She walks into the forest looking for her mother, and the show walks with her, asking nothing of you but to notice how small she is, how much patience it takes to keep moving forward. This is a show that understands loneliness not as drama but as a fact of living, and treats it with the gentleness a child needs to hear.

Pikora is a baby dinosaur, only just born, and her mother is missing. She heads out into the woods to track her down. This single-episode special from 1995 is a short adventure piece, and its animation takes inspiration from Minna no Uta, a program from NHK.
