SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

kristintremba My daughter and I love this Heidi series. We first saw it on Netflix (streaming) and watched it over and over and never tired of it! Then, one day it was no longer made available on Netflix. I looked online to see if we could purchase the entire series. I only saw that Season 1 is available. I saw the entire series offered and shipped from Germany, but there was no indication what language it is in. I know it comes in different languages. It would be great to have the the entire series on DVD offered in English at an affordable price. We found some episodes in English on You Tube, but it is a hassle to find them all in in order. This animation series is beautifully filmed, written, with a touching soundtrack. It's a shame it is not more readily available in the USA.

Lilianna N My little girl is never tired of this show. It's the most feel good show we've found. We always go back to it. It's a little emotional at parts and we love it. I got sucked into the story after watching one episode with my daughter and that's rare when it comes to children programming. I had no idea Heidi story has been told before. We absolutely love it and recommend to anyone. Props to the creators and everyone involved, it's a beautiful show, I'd give an award if a was in a position to. Heidi is a great character, unlike in other cartoons she's not a character who always makes the right choice, she makes mistakes sometimes but always follows her heart and that's how kids can relate to her.

californiacotton Having three young children I spend lots of time watching cartoons. Generally I find them unintelligible and often drift off, thinking about work or the weekend or whatever.Not Heidi. I find this show captivating and well written. Heidi is a cute little orphan who is sent into the Alps to live with her Grandfather, a recluse man who casts a weary eye on his new arrival. However, as Heidi's character grows into the season, it's hard not to love her, and her Grandfather loves her most of all. Then there's Peter, the young goat herder who befriends Heidi. He's a little boy, and not unlike other boys he quests adventure and exploration. Many of the episodes revolve around Heidi and Peter learning something new or challenging each others' wits. Later on, Clara joins in from "the city" (Frankfurt) and along with her Governess, we have a show with character depth and charm.Most of all, Heidi portrays a sweet girl living in idyllic Switzerland and promotes kindness, curiosity, and a sweet virtue that is missing in so many other children's programming today. In our modern age, Heidi fits the bill for wholesome viewing. I am hoping for a season 2!

pinkarray This is the 2D cartoon of Heidi, set in the Swiss alps but was made in French/Australia. First, let's talk about Heidi and the story surrounding her, I've seen the anime version of Heidi and thought that Heidi was a bit too temperamental but this adaptation, the writers are trying to aim for a less annoying Heidi. She's like a typical five-year-old kid, inquisitive and chill but not enough self- discipline due to her young age.Still, though, they seem to be trying to make her too similar to her playful anime counterpart.Still, though the series, in my opinion is saccharine in a childish sort of way. Such as when Heidi befriends an innocent rat when in general belief, rats are supposed to be contagious. Though, this may date back to Madeline (1998) when she convinced the boy that the mouse was innocent and that she wasn't afraid.Heidi's voice may have been a little too old for her age.The aunt is not a very good character either, she doesn't seem to take much time to control Heidi's impetuous behavior. Also, her emotional parts were forced and the show didn't take much time to make me care about her character.The animation is pretty good for the most part, though Heidi's character animation felt generic but that's the only high part of this cartoon. Everything else such as the script, which added in some elements that the book didn't have from and the flawed characters could've been better.
