B+

This most recent and faithful adaptation does the most spectacular job of exploiting the scenery and Heidi's natural capacity for unbridled joy.

3/4

Alain Gsponer's adaptation follows precisely the original 19th-cenutry blueprint for Heidi and demonstrates, even in this digital age, the evergreen appeal of picturesque environs, flirty goatherds, and incandescent adorability.

A faithful adaptation of the novel, it even dares to show a view of a status-based society. [Full review in Spanish]

3/5

Goes back to the roots of the novel trying to correct previous mistakes like Heidi's hair being wild, like her spirit, and black instead of blonde. [Full review in Spanish]

Fernanda Archila - Heidi is a beautiful film, where it leaves feelings and moves us to see how they abandon her, but it leaves us with lessons and accumulated feelings when watching Heidi, it is also very good to watch with the family.

Had a great time watching this movie. It was very lightearted and the scenery was stunning. I recommend it, if you just want to watch something very lighthearted and without violence, etc

A classic story with contemporary sensibilities. It captures the sense of wonder and adventure of Miyazaki's animated series, while also exploring deeper themes of trauma and loss, family bonds and friendship dynamics. RIP Bruno Ganz
