highly recommended

Set in the Swiss Alps 100 years ago, Heidi is the story of a young orphan girl who is sent to stay with her grandfather in the High Alps. A tale of the indomitable spirit of children amid the hardships of an adult world, Heidi has been a favourite childhood fiction for generations around the world.

A worthy addition to the film canon of the Spyri classic

There are many reviews on this item already. I want to give a specific reason to add mine: Geraldine Chaplin's portrayal of Fräulein Rottenmeier.
At last we have a Rottenmeier who is not "evil" but rather one who is unable to show love.
A wonderful moment in the film comes when Diana Rigg's Grandmamma asks her why everyone else sees the good in Heidi but Rottenmeier can not. A less skillful director (and script) would have taken this opportunity to give Rottenmeier a "reason" and a response.
The director simply lingers a moment on Geraldine Chaplin's face and without any words spoken we the audience can see that the flaw is in her character and for a moment we can even show a bit of sympathy for her.

An excellent addition to the film canon of Spyri's classic.

great movie

this is an older movie but my child just loves it. couldn't bet the price.

Most like the novel

I was looking for a DVD most closely related to the classic novel by Spyri. This is it! Other than some artistic cinematography the story is closely followed. I did not even miss Heidi's "curly brown hair".

Family Film

This is a wonderful family film. An 'oldie' but a 'goodie'.
Heidi has a wonderful impact on everyone she meets.
My 8 year old son, who has a passion for sports and all things 'boyish' LOVED it!
