Advantages: Good musical score Disadvantages: 77 minutes long
, later on in the review.)
How does this production compare? The musical score (by Wolfgang Simm) is lush and bright and there are several extras on the DVD, including From Storyboard to screen, which shows the original rough (very rough!) drawings, compared with the finished article. This is undertaken by employing a split screen technique. There's also a Heidi trailer and a picture gallery and scene selection, too.
So, what about the film? Oh, dear... WHAT about the film? The cartoon work is competent, although not really up to the standards one would expect from, say, Pixar, or Disney. At the start of the film there is something that floats through the air. It could represent a distortion in the space time continuum (oh, sorry, this isn't Star Trek Voyager, is it?) or ... well, it was impossible to tell what on earth it was intended to ...

Advantages: well presented, great ensemble cast Disadvantages: if you hate Shirley Temple, this is a no go
earned cash to send their children and themselves for carefree respite from what was often a darker reality. Sunny child star Shirley Temple fit the bill, with her dazzling dimpled smile, golden curls, and precocious singing, dancing, and acting skills. America's little sweetheart was to lighten the hearts of cinema goers that year as Heidi, the little orphaned girl from the Swiss Alps who changed the world of those who came to know her, all for the better.
Based upon the classic novel by Joanna Spryi, the film does take small liberties in a few places, and some bits are omitted. This does not detract from the value of the film at all, remaining a high quality dramatisation of the novel while allowing the best aspects of Shirley to shine.
