Forest Friends (French: Les Copains de la Forêt) is an animated television series initially broadcast on TF1, and later rerun on French children's network TiJi. Along with the CGI series The Odd Family, this was one of the first shows produced by Timoon Animation.[1]

In the series, a wildfire drives away many species of forest animals, who must live uneasily with each other. But seven young survivors prove otherwise: with the Old Oak of the Forest as their mentor, they eventually team up and become friends.[2]

Several of the show's tie-in books have been written by Valérie Baranski, the screenwriter for another TF1 cartoon, The Bellflower Bunnies.[3]
