The Adventures of Glikko), is a 1981 Japanese anime film directed by Hideo Nishimaki and based on the book of the same name by Atsuo Saitō.

However, all that changed when a carrier pigeon named Pippo tells Glikko about the chipmunks living in the vast North Forest.

The next morning, Pippo returns and warns Glikko about the dangers on his journey, such as foxes and hawks.

The following night, he encounters a sewer rat named Gamba and saves him from an approaching car.

Glikko meets up with a chipmunk named Zipzip and he tells him the tales of the vast North Forest.

The next morning, the two chipmunks plan to cross the fields to reach the mountains, but Nono suddenly catches a fever.

The boat starts to drift away in a river and Glikko sings "We're on our way, Nono" before eventually reaching the oceans the next morning.

Nono starts to become weak and complains about how they aren't gonna reach the forest, but Glikko heads out and finds some tree bark, unaware that the fox is stalking them.

The next morning, the two chipmunks continue their journey and Pippo arrives and tells them that they've finally reached the North Forest.
