Heidi

This is a region 2 dvd. The seller placed an easy to read warning label on the packaging.

A late friend and mother to a childhood friend gave this movie to me as a kid on vhs as Heidi is a story close to my own. This version of Heidi is one that makes my heart sing. The music and the cinematography are gorgeous. Still dream of visiting the Lady on the Mountain!

I absolutely love this movie and I have several different versions of Heidi. I love them all and watch them over and over.

I've always loved this movie and I wanted a copy to one day show my future children so I was quite pleased to order it. It came in good shape and played beautifully. It is a little odd that it's a two parter DVD, but everything is in order and there, I can't ask for more.

We have seen this movie before, which is why I purchased it. It is by far THE BEST edition of the Heidi story. A little gruff and realistic in the beginning as she meets scary grandfather, it gets better as his calloused heart slowly begins to soften. The characters are true, either showing a genuine love for others, or only displaying self-interest (as in the case of Aunt Dete, who really doesn't break out of character). It wasn't filmed in a fairy-tale like setting, but one that appears more tru-to-life. Both of my children liked this movie (even my autistic son). Heidi's perseverance of searching for love and acceptance in this edition makes her the true hero. You say "hooray for Heidi" at the end.

This is way, way too long and drawn out. More time---far more time----should have been devoted to developing life in the mountains before shoving the viewer off to the long, drawn-out experience in town. Clara was a whiney, manipulative, selfish and over-indulged child compared to the sweet and sensitive Clara in the book. Ten minutes and I was done with her. And what's with the whole sleep-walking, supernatural thing?? Who's idea was that? Never would I show my grandkids that scene and give them nightmares. What on earth was the point? The melodramatic cliff scene was also predictable and a complete fabrication. Heidi's relationship with Peter was so sweet and genuine, yet the movie completely failed to develop that for the viewer. Her close bond to the grandmother was one of the most endearing parts of the book and it barely got a whisper in the THREE very long hours of this movie. My Fair Lady and Fiddler On The Roof are three hours long! Did the producers really feel they had a winner here to be in the same league as those timeless films? If there's nobody out there who can produce a movie that actually sticks to and captures the beauty, sensitivity, and warmth of the book, then just get the Shirley Temple version; at least it's entertaining. Why does every producer feel they can "improve" on something classic? I'm willing to spend three hours watching a Heidi movie if it sticks to the real story. Is Hollywood so jaded that they can't even grasp the idea that people will actually enjoy and pay for the chance to observe sweet, kind and caring people? They have in other films, so why does every director mishandle this story? I just don't understand.

A beautiful movie. If your looking for a film to watch with the whole family that has beautiful storytelling, breathtaking scenery and a message of love and family; then this is a film you must see. It's a two part movie so there will be two dvd's in the box. Also, the film colors are clear and perfect. The dvd cover doesn't do the movie justice, so don't be fooled and think the movie will look horrible and "old". Believe me, the film is clear and breathtaking. You won't regret keeping this timeless treasure as a part of your collection.

Watch Heidi with my granddaughter and we both loved it. Highly recommend it

I watched this film with my six year old granddaughter. Neither she nor I knew the story. However we both loved the film. A very heart warming story with beautiful scenery and photography. The only downside was that it was sometimes difficult to understand the accent of the main character Heidi.

It's a great film for children from the passed

I have watched many films relating the story of Heidi over the years but I think this is one of the best. Noley Thornton gives a brilliant performance for one so young and I thought Jason Robards as Grandfather was very good. The only character I had problems with and thought she was Jane Seymour as Fraulein Rottenmeier she was alright but to my mind not 100% convincing (most unlike Jane Seymour)

Beautiful story, filmed beautifully but it's a very long dvd so might not hold younger children interest.Arrived in good condition. Happy with it

The story of Heidi a firm favourite with me since a child, this adaptation is probably the best I've seen, all children should know this story along with Black Beauty, and Rudyard Kipling.
