Yes, I know it is a rather unfortunate name but I swear this is a fantasy kids anime and nothing else.
Anyway, I found out about it when I was looking for another piece of lost anime media and I’ve since been very interested for how incredibly obscure it is.
It’s called 妖精ディック and it’s an anime adaptation based on the 1955 book, Hobberdy Dick. It only aired on NHK in 1992 from June 7th to December 6th. There was no home media releases and all that it’s out there is the audio of OP and ED songs taken from a CD. And there is generally not a whole lot of info outside from a few production credits and Ryusei Nakao voices Dick himself.
OP: youtu.be/YSwludYru8E
ED: youtu.be/WCg2otU1p0o
What’s more weird is that there was an English dub made by Kino Productions which is just as obscure. So far, I can only find the intro and end credits taken from the Mandarin Chinese dub (the best quality i can find anyway). I heard it likely aired in Canada and USA but I haven’t found anything to prove so far. I checked Newspapers.com but all the articles was related to the book.

There are other dubs out there like German and Spanish but I wanna focus on finding either Japanese or English. If anyone has any more info or leads, please let me know!
Here's a Youtube playlist of basically everything I found so far
EDIT: never thought i would say this but for the love of god, don't come here if you're just gonna make an unfunny dick joke and contribute to nothing at all. yes i know it's very easy to make one and i understand but it has became so frustrating to hear it so many times especially when i'm genuinely passionate about this search and want to take it seriously.
