Searching for an anime-

Okay, this is difficult to describe. I'm looking for an anime with no humans in it. The ideal is an anime version of "The Lion King" - first thing that came to us was "Kimba the White Lion". Can anyone throw out any more interesting ideas of places to look? Some place where normal humans can't exist.

Thanks for any suggestions!!!

I don't suppose bottle fairies would count?

How about Pom Poko - there are people in parts of it, but there's also a lot of footage of the tanuki and their world.

Cat Soup might work...

You can try Ginga Densetsu Weed. I heard that series has talking dogs.

While this is probably not what you have in mind, there's always 'Panda Z: The Robomation' (meets the no humans requirement easy)

Thanks for suggestions, guys keep 'em coming. I'll try to track them all down. Our plan was if there was a anime version of Kingdom Hearts, where they go to anime worlds instead of disney worlds, what would be a form-changing world like the Pride Lands or Atlantica, or something.

Clips of Spirited Away or Princess Monoke, or Wolf's Rain. They have quite a few animal scenes.

it doesnt work with the no humans, but Shaman King, cos it fits the king bit and everyone knows it

If you're looking for a show with no people, I'd try Sonic: The Hedgehog, but that's probably not what you're looking for.

I've only seen the first 2 episodes of the show, but maybe Hack::// Sign might work. I think that there are a lot of non-humans in the show, but I could be completey wrong. It's got sort of unique landscaping and terrain though.

There's the terrible 1 episode Chrono Trigger OAV. No humans there. Very weird. Quite possibly what you're looking for.

Otherwise, I'd second the notion for the Hayao Miyazaki Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. You might also want to try Nausica, which has both terrain that people can't live in and giant non-humanoid life forms. But there are people who go into the areas wearing special gear.
