A beautiful, fun little film. Cannot recommend it enough. - Heidi review by RL
This is a beautifully made film based on the classic Swiss tale of the young girl Heidi. Maybe I'm going soft in my old age but it's one of the cutest films I've ever watched. The scenery is stunning, the story line is simple but entertaining, the score is actually pretty darn good and Heidi is as cute as a button. The only one downside is that the dubbing is sometimes ever so slightly forced for some of the characters but it's a tiny point that in no way detracts from what is really a fantastic film. Even better I imagine if you have children you can watch it with.
