Scifi, boy, pterodactylrobot (flying dino), squirrel?

[tomssuli]

I can't remember this series name. It's a scifi from late 80's or early 90's.

I have a faint memory about this:
- group that went into a planet that was occupied by robots
- there was a young boy on the group and he had a squirrel
- the boy also had a flying robot that looked like pterodactyl or pteradonon or whatever flying finosaur, I think it was yellow
- the group were looking for the boys father I think
- there were some friendly humanoid like beings on the planet who had blueish(?) skin
- the boy gave his squirrel to a humanoid girl
- the series name might have had a year with it
- the antagonist was a robot that had mouth made of square shaped lights
- I think the series had a bit dark atmosphere
- It might have been anime, or not. I don't remember the style so well anymore

I searched for this cartoon from the forum but didn't find it... I hope someone else would remember this. None of my friends does = (

First guess,..

Gulliver's Travels
Beyond the Moon

Nope, it wasn't that.

The cartoon I seek had darker atmosphere and it was maybe for a little older audience.

Gulliver's travels beyond the moon seems to be for small children.

The only other "squirrel" in a sci fi setting
I can think of is Naussicca's pet fox-squirrel

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

got any more info?

[tomssuli]

No, it wasn't Nausicaä (which is a very good anime indeed!)

Hmm... When I push myself to remember, I recall there were men that were dressed like space marines from Warhammer 40k.

...many series must have those so I don't know if it helps
