searching for movie about a giant

hello! i cannot remember this movie for the life of me. i loved it very much as a young lad. its a movie about a giant and a little girl, or something of the sort. basically the town is afraid of him and thus dislike him and hes isolated, but this girl sees hes like anyone else, and helps him be accepted. or tries to. either that or someone kills him or someone kills/hurts someone. there is a bit of violence either way im sure.
i would recognize it by screenshots of the giant instantly i know, but this is all i got. there also might have been something to do with them picking flowers. and the giant protecting the girl or someone..
i had this on vhs... watched it a heckin lot around 2006 id guess. id say the movie was probably older.. i think about it so often nowadays though i cannot put my pictures to words quite well. im becoming so curious! any help is appreciated.
