Kids movie about two lost boys and a furry red creature

I’m 34 so it would have had to be in the early 80’s if not very late 70’s. I can only vaguely recall parts of it but, to my recollection, it was about two boys that get lost in a forest and end up coming across a furry, red creature that swings through the treetops.

That is all I recall, aside from the ending where they end up in some cave with other lost children or something? I just remember there being a cave full of crystals and a lot of different kids looking around at them.

Can anyone help? I will be eternally grateful! I’ve been trying to recall what that movie was for the last like 10 years :joy:

was it cartoon or live action and do you recall if a movie or series?

Unfortunately, this is not it. But it definitely looks good and I will be checking it out. So thank you anyway!

Could it be The Argon Quest? some of the pictures seem to suggest one of the kids is a boy and one resembles a boy. There seems to be a cave with other kids.

This is Absolutely it! My gosh, thank you so very much. I’ve been searching for this movie for Yeaaars!!! I just watched the whole thing on YouTube and it brought back so many memories. How did you find it? Like what did you search or did you have an idea of the movie from reading the description?

you are very welcome! so glad it was correct. My nephews knew of the movie. :-D

That is fantastic. Thank you, and them, for saving me because I have been in mental anguish for years :joy:
