Heidi (English Version)

I noticed this for a great price so thought yeah, why not? I had forgotten what a lovely,sweet movie this is with the iconic Shirley Temple. It is a wonderful story, with Christmas scenes, of how a little girl can soften the heart of a bitter,hard old man, "the Grandfather". Plus I love happy endings & this has one. Nostalgia brings happy memories or if u have little kids, this is a great movie that teaches good moral lessons of love, loyalty, friendship.

I used to love watching this movie as a young girl. I wish they would put this on Blu Ray or even 4K.

I liked this Chirstmas movie.

Thank you.

We first saw clips of this movie playing when we visited the Heidi Village in Maienfeld, Switzerland. It seemed so well cast, and authentically set in the Alps, that I had to have it. I've loved the book since I was a child, and this one seemed, as another reviewer put it, as close to the book as I've found. I was excited to be able to order the English version on Amazon.I'm not a religious person, but I found the omission of Heidi's spiritual growth, and subsequently that of her grandfather's, to be the one big flaw in this film, and one that affects the story significantly. Without this growth, or growth of some kind, none of the characters grow, and growth is an essential part of the narrative arc of any fiction. Heidi is the victim of circumstance, as in the book--she leaves the Alm to go to Frankfort, and her sleepwalking causes her to be sent back again--but this is essentially a series of events, with Heidi capering and being charming throughout. Omitting the book's emphasis on Heidi's compassion for others, especially Peter's grandmother, and her evolving understanding of her place in a spiritual universe, just leaves a picturesque story, rather than the story that has affected generations of readers.Fine for the whole family, and visually and cinematically gorgeous, but this version will not stay with you the way the book does. It may make you want to visit Switzerland.

I could NOT WAIT to get this DVD! Being a huge fan of anything HEIDI I have several film versions in my collection. I first heard of this movie early this year when it was first released in Europe with the actors speaking German. Sadly, I don’t speak German so I hoped it would come out in an English version. This is it (along with the same film dubbed in French)! It’s one of the absolute best versions of HEIDI that’s been made and really sticks close to the original tale by Johanna Spyri. There are some subtle changes to the story but nothing I found annoying. The little actress Anuk Steffen is absolutely perfect as the young heroine and Bruno Ganz is wonderful as Heidi’s beloved Grandfather. One thing I loved was the addition of a small back story on Heidi’s friend Klara, played by Isabelle Ottmann. The strict governess Fraulein Rottenmeier (Katharine Schuttler) was a delightfully comic character and I really enjoyed the performances of Peter Lohmeyer and Jella Haase as Sebastian the butler and Tinette the French maid! Young Quirin Agrippi rounds out the cast as Heidi’s best friend Peter. I will be recommending this lovely film to my friends and family! Enjoy!

This dvd is very high quaility viewing. It had the color version and b/w choice. The color version was wonderful. I really liked the b/w version as well.
