Synopsis

Heidi is the spunky little girl whose sweet disposition wins the hearts of everyone. Heidi lives with her gruff grandfather up in the beautiful mountains of Switzerland. She loves playing with her shepherd friend, Peter, and frolicking in the meadow with all of the goats. She even turns her grandfather from a bitter old hermit into a kind and loving man. But one day, Heidi's aunt takes her away from the mountains to live in the city with a family whose crippled daughter Klara, needs a companion. Heidi misses her grandfather and her home, and everything she does seems to get her into trouble with the stern governess, Miss Rottenmeier. But soon, Heidi's positive attitude brings joy and light into the lives of everyone there. And when Heidi takes Klara to visit her mountain home, she helps Klara learn to walk! One of the most inspiring children's stories ever, Heidi is an unforgettable animated treasure.

Production notes

These childrens films were very similar to those the Cayre Brothers had gotten from from Golden Films. One major difference was the music. Rather than use classical music as Golden Films had, Jetlag used a more modern soundtrack, and produced three originasl songs per film.

Songs include: "Start with a Smile", "This is Home" and "The Very Best of Friends".
