(chattering indistinctly)

- Dete, hi Dete.

- Hi Baerbel, how are you?

- Fine, getting

used to the village.

How was your trip to Frankfurt?

- Very good.

Heidi, run along ahead and

I'll catch up with you.

- Okay, Aunt Dete.

- I've been hired

by a wealthy family

and will work in their home.

- That's wonderful news,

but what about Heidi?

- I'm taking her up

to her grandfather.

She'll live up on the

mountain with him.

- The grandfather?

But you know what a

miserable old man he is.

He never speaks to anyone

when he comes to the village.

Every child here

is afraid of him.

- Miserable or not,

he's her grandfather.

I've taken care of Heidi

ever since my sister

and her husband passed away.

Now it's her grandfather's

turn to do his duty.

(shudders)

(goats bleating)

- [Heidi] Can I play too?

Can I play with you?

I can't run with all

these clothes on.

(bell tinkling)

(Heidi laughs)

- Where is that girl?

I let her out of my sight

for one minute, and...

Heidi, Heidi.

What do you think you're doing?

- I was just playing.

- And where are your clothes?

- There they are.

- You left them on a rock?

Oh, Heidi.

Peter, Peter, go

get Heidi's clothes.

- Can't, have to take the

goats to the mountain.

- I'll give you a penny.

(laughs)

I must say you can move fast

when you want to, Peter.

We're going to the

grandfather's house.

Will you walk with us?

- I'm going there too.

- Oh, can I play with

the goats along the way?

(sighs)

- Put your clothes on first,

I'm not going to carry them.

(bell tinkling)

(goats bleating)

Now remember what I told

you about your grandfather.

- Okay, Aunt Dete.

- [Dete] There he is.

- Hello Grandfather, I'm Heidi.

I'm coming to stay with you.

- Hm, we'll see about that.

What's the meaning

of this, Dete?

- Good morning, Uncle.

I've brought Heidi

to stay with you.

I've had her for five years.

It's your turn to

tend the child.

- Turn?

You there, Peter, take your

goats up into the mountains

and take mine with you.

I know nothing about children.

- She'll stay with

you all the same.

If you don't want her,

you'll have to think

about what to do with her.

She's your responsibility now.

- Don't tell me

what to do, girl,

and don't tell me

how to live my life.

Now leave my home

and don't come back.

- Goodbye to you then, and

goodbye to you too, Heidi.

Take care of yourself.

- Can I look

around, Grandfather?

- Hm, suit yourself.

(wind whistling)

- Wow, the trees sound

like they're singing to me.

(bird chirps)

I wonder if they talk too.

- Well?

- Can I see the inside of

your house, Grandfather?

- Ah, come along.

- This is a very nice house,

but there's only one bed.

Where will you sleep?

- Me?

Why, (laughs) that's my bed.

- Oh, well, where will I sleep?

- Sleep wherever you like.

- I think I'll sleep up here.

(peaceful music)

Look, Grandfather,

I've made a bed.

- Here, it's not a

proper bed without this.

There, now your bed is made.

I suppose we should

have some lunch now.

- Thank you, Grandfather,

but you need a chair.

- I'll make do.

Eat your meal.

- [Heidi] This is the

best milk I've ever had.

- Have some more.

After lunch, I'll build

you a high stool to sit on.

(goats bleating)

- [Heidi] How did you

know Peter would be coming

with the goats?

- He brings them

down from the pasture

every day at this time.

- Peter, let's play.

Come on, over here.

- He's a little

too busy to play.

- Too busy to play?

- I know that's hard to imagine

but he must finish

his work first

and take the goats to Dorfli.

- Are these two goats both ours?

- Ours? (laughs)

Yes, they are.

The brown one is Little Bear

and this is Little Swan.

- Can I play with them?

- It's late, you'll

have plenty of time

to play with them tomorrow.

- Go, you two.

To the shed with you.

And as for you, off to bed.

- Goodnight Little Bear,

goodnight Little Swan,

goodnight Grandfather.

- [Grandfather]

Goodnight, Heidi.

- Sweet dreams, Grandfather.

(goat bleating)

(crickets chirping)

(owl hooting)

(goats bleating)

- [Grandfather] Heidi, you

haven't finished your breakfast.

- But Peter's here with the

goats, and I've got to see them.

(joyous music)

They're so much fun.

Peter, you're so lucky

you have these friends.

- Friends?

Gee, I never thought

of them like that.

(Heidi sighs)

- [Heidi] The

mountains are so, so--

- [Peter] Big?

- [Heidi] Beautiful.

- I never really noticed,

but you're right.

They are beautiful.

- Would you like to go up the

mountains with Peter today?

- Up there, really?

- As long as you

stay with Peter.

- I will, I will, I promise.

- Peter, here's lunch

for you and Heidi.

- This is no lunch,

this is a feast.

- Then earn your

right to enjoy it

by keeping a good eye on Heidi.

Make sure she doesn't wander

too close to the cliffs.

- You can count on me.

Come on, Heidi,

those beautiful mountains

are waiting for us.

(bright piano music)

- I didn't know there

was this many flowers

in the whole wide world.

The goats sure know how

to have a good time.

- Why shouldn't they?

They have all the

food they can eat

and these mountains to play in.

(goat bleating)

- What's that?

- It's one of the goats.

Her mother was sold yesterday.

I guess she's crying.

She must miss her.

- Aw, poor little thing.

What's her name?

- Her name's Peppermint.

Where are you going?

Let's eat, I'm hungry.

- You go ahead and eat,

I'll be right back.

Oh, don't cry, please don't cry.

It'll be okay, I'll

be your friend.

Would that make you feel better?

Oh yes, we're gonna be

the best of friends.

(goat bleats)

Peter, Peter, wake

up, it's Little Swan.

- Huh?

(tense music)

Little Swan, stop!

- Oh no, Grandfather's goat!

- No!

(goat bleating)

You stupid goat, I thought

you knew better than this.

(goat bleating)

- [Heidi] Oh no, no.

- Let go of me, Heidi.

- But you'll fall

over the cliff.

Come on, Little Swan,

you have to help.

(grunting)

(breathing heavily)

- You stupid goat.

- Don't yell at her.

Can't you see how scared she is?

(melancholy music)

- Oh, all right.

Now get back to the herd.

(goat bleats)

I guess I should thank you.

If you didn't wake me up,

I wouldn't have seen Little

Swan going over the cliff.

Thanks.

(soft music)

(bird calling)

- Peter, look at that bird.

- [Peter] It's a robber bird.

- Let's go after it.

- We can't, it lives

high up in the mountains.

Even goats can't

climb that high.

- Why does it sound like that?

- Who knows?

Come on, I have to take the

herd back down now, let's go.

(Heidi gasps)

- The mountains are on fire.

(Peter laughs)

- Heidi, sometimes

you are so silly.

It's just the sun setting.

- You mean it looks

like this every day?

- Almost.

- I wish I could

stay here forever.

- You'd be awfully

cold if you did.

Now come on.

(crickets chirping)

- Grandfather, we

had such a great day.

I saw the pasture and all the

flowers and a robber bird,

and the mountains looked

like they were on fire.

- On fire?

- Grandfather, it's the

prettiest place I've ever seen.

Can I go there again tomorrow?

- I don't see why not.

- Yeah. (laughs)

Grandfather, why does the

robber bird cry like it does?

- The bird cries because

he's mocking people

who live crowded

together in the city.

He knows how good life

is in the mountains,

and he thinks city

people are foolish

for living the way they do.

- You know what, Grandfather?

I think the robber

bird is right.

(Grandfather laughs)

- So do I.

- [Peter] Heidi, Heidi.

- Hi Peter, where have you been?

- [Peter] I've been

going to school.

- That must be fun.

I bet it's great playing

with all the other children.

- I'd rather be with my goats.

- You'd have frozen goats

if you tried to

drive them up there.

(peaceful music)

Come in, Peter, have

breakfast with us.

- I never refuse a meal.

- So young and yet

so wise. (laughs)

I'm glad I don't have

to feed you every day.

- Oh, my grandmother

asked if you'd come down

and visit us for lunch some day.

We don't have much, but--

- Let's go now.

- Now?

- Now?

Well, how about tomorrow?

- Tomorrow would be great.

- I can't wait.

Is it tomorrow yet?

- We've got to get

through tonight first.

You know, Heidi, I'm

not sure about this.

I don't get along with people,

and people don't

get along with me.

- But you get along

with me and Peter.

- Well, I'll take

you down there.

You can visit and I'll

pick you up at nightfall.

- Okay, Grandfather.

(lulling music)

- Hold on.

- [Heidi] Whoa!

(screaming)

This isn't fun!

(joyous festive music)

- Now, remember,

I'll be back to pick you

up when it gets dark.

- [Heidi] Yes,

Grandfather, and thank you.

(knocking)

- [Grandmother] Who's there?

- It's me, Heidi.

Peter said you invited

me for lunch, and I--

- Oh, my, yes, you're the

girl Peter has told me about.

Come closer, child.

My, but you're a little thing.

Did you come down the

mountain all by yourself?

- My grandfather brought me.

- Is he here?

- No, but, can't

you see he's not?

- No, dear, I

can't see anything.

- No wonder, it's

too dark in here.

I'll open up the curtains.

- [Grandmother] It won't

do any good, Heidi.

I still won't be able to see.

- How about if I

light some candles?

- You could light all

the candles in the world

and still I would not see.

I'm blind, Heidi.

- You mean you can never see?

- I see in a different way.

When I hear a kind word, it's

like seeing a beautiful light.

A friendly hand feels like the

warm glow of the golden sun.

- Well then, a hug

and a kind word

is what you'll have every day.

- Thank you, Heidi.

- Grandfather, tomorrow

we've got to come back

and you have to bring

your tools with you.

- Heidi, what are

you talking about?

- Well, Peter's grandmother

told me she can't sleep

because her shutters

rattle so badly.

The roof has holes in it

and the wind whistles

through the walls.

- But it's not our house.

- Please, oh

please, Grandfather?

We have to help her.

- Something told me

if I came down here

I was going to end

up paying for it.

- You mean you'll do it?

- I suppose I can.

I'll start tomorrow.

(banging)

(water trickling)

(birds chirping)

(goats bleating)

(bright music)

- [Heidi] Grandfather, you've

got to come see the mountains

with me and Peter tomorrow.

They're so beautiful.

- You've said that every spring

for the last three years.

- But you have to

come, it's true.

- Uh oh, looks like

we've got company.

(bell tinkling)

- [Dete] (gasps)

Can this be Heidi?

Oh my goodness,

you're looking well.

Do you remember your Aunt Dete?

- Yes, Aunt Dete.

- Uncle, I must say you've

taken good care of the child.

- [Grandfather] The

mountain agrees with her.

- I bring you good news

today for both of you.

I found a home for Heidi.

A friend of the

mistress I work for

has a child who

needs a companion,

and of course I at

once thought of Heidi.

- But this is my home.

- They live in a fine

house in Frankfurt

and it will be very

good for Heidi.

- And very good

for you, no doubt.

How much are they paying you?

- I see you haven't changed.

No matter, Heidi's

coming with me.

- She stays here.

- She comes with me.

It's time she learned

to read and write,

and she's not going to do it

up here surrounded by goats.

- I know what's best for Heidi.

- Don't make me go

to the courts, Uncle.

I do have papers showing

that I am the legal guardian.

- You didn't tell me that

when you left her with me.

You insisted I take the

child in the first place.

- Only until I could find her

a permanent home to live in.

Now I have and now

I will take her,

unless you want the

police brought into this.

- Take her.

Take her and leave my mountain.

- Grandfather?

- Let him go.

Come along with me, Heidi.

- No, I won't, I'm staying here.

- Didn't you hear him?

He doesn't want you here.

- He just said that

because you made him mad.

- Heidi, listen to me,

this is for your own good.

Now get your things.

We've got a train to catch.

(dog barking)

- [Clara] Oh, isn't she

here yet, Madam Rottenmeier?

- [Madam Rottenmeier]

I'm sure they'll be here

any moment, Clara.

(knocking)

- Yes, may I help you?

- [Dete] I'm here to

deliver the girl Heidi

to Madam Rottenmeier.

- Very well, you are expected.

- So this is the child.

- Yes, her name is Heidi.

- Very well.

You will be Miss

Sesemann's companion.

You will study with Clara,

read stories to her, and--

- But I can't read.

- What?

Our bargain was for a child

who could read and

entertain Clara.

- You said nothing about

her being able to read.

As for entertaining, you'll

find her amusing enough.

I leave her in your hands.

- Just a moment, Dete.

I have further words for you.

- Hi, I'm Heidi.

- That's a pretty name.

Mine's Clara.

- I'm sorry I can't read,

but I live in the mountains.

I've never had to.

- The mountains?

You've lived in the mountains?

Have you ever seen

any tigers or lions?

- (laughs) No, just goats.

- Well, don't worry about

not being able to read.

My tutor will take care of that.

He talks too much but

he'll teach you to read.

- I hope so, I would love that.

- Well, let's not

worry about it today.

It's your first day here.

I bet you're hungry.

- I am, I could drink five

bowls of Little Swan's milk.

- Little Swan?

- Little Swan's one of

my grandfather's goats.

She makes the sweetest

milk you've ever tasted.

I'll tell you all about her.

(grunting)

(breathing heavily)

Grandfather? (sighs)

I almost forgot that

I'm not at home.

What happened to the

trees and the mountains?

There's nothing to

look at but houses.

Maybe if I can

open up the window,

I can look out and

see the mountains.

(grunting)

Oh, I wish I could

breathe the outside air.

What kind of a place has

Aunt Dete taken me to?

(crying)

May I please have another one?

- Take the roll, Heidi,

you needn't ask permission.

- But my Grandfather said

you should always ask first.

- Well, he's not here, I am,

and in the future you will

come to breakfast on time.

You took a full 20

minutes to get dressed

and down to the table.

- Madam Rottenmeier,

didn't you forget?

- Forget what?

- Please, you forgot

to say please.

- Heidi's right, I didn't

hear it either. (laughs)

Did you, Sebastian?

- You know, I didn't.

- Well, I, (stuttering)

I need to speak with the cook.

(laughing)

- You're right, Heidi.

Good manners are important,

no matter how old you are.

- How did you sleep

last night, Heidi?

- The bed was nice but the

window in my room doesn't open.

- Well, just ask Sebastian,

he'll open it for you.

This must seem very

different from your home.

Tell me about Switzerland.

I know you lived on a mountain.

- You can't imagine it, Clara.

The fir trees

would whistle to me

when the wind blows through them

and every day I'd

go up to the pasture

with Peter and his

goats and pick flowers.

There were so many flowers,

and the mountains turn red

when the sun sets and--

- It sounds spectacular.

Oh, it is, it is.

- But where are you going?

- To show you why

it took me so long

to get down for breakfast.

- [Madam Rottenmeier]

Imagine, the cook asking

if this new girl has

any favorite meals.

- A kind gesture, I'd say.

- Kind gesture.

The child will eat whatever

Clara eats and be lucky for it.

I've never heard

of such a thing.

(cat meowing)

(clattering)

(laughing)

(playful music)

- Beasts, we have

beasts in the house.

- They're not beasts,

Madam Rottenmeier.

They're just kittens.

- They're animals,

and animals belong either

in the zoo or the wilderness

which is exactly where I'm

beginning to think you belong.

- Oh, but they're harmless,

Madam Rottenmeier.

Can't I keep them?

- I should say not.

Who knows what diseases

they might have?

Sebastian, catch these creatures

and toss them out

into the street.

(meowing)

(laughing)

How on earth could they

have gotten into this house?

- I put them in,

Madam Rottenmeier.

- You brought them

into this house?

- Well, I heard them

meowing outside my window

and I thought they'd

make nice pets for Clara,

so I ran down and brought them

to my room before breakfast.

- This is the absolute end.

Sebastian, after you've

disposed of the animals

you will take Miss

Clara up to her room.

- (sighs) But we

were just having fun.

- You've had quite

enough fun for one day.

As for you, I expect you to

stay in your room all day.

That is, after you've

cleaned up this mess in here.

- Don't worry, I'll keep

the kittens in my room.

Maybe when Mr. Sesemann returns

we can convince him

it might be nice

to have some pets around

the house for Clara.

- Oh, thank you, Sebastian.

- [Sebastian] They are cute

little things, aren't they?

(meowing)

- I've missed you

so much, Father.

- And I you, Clara.

My time home is to be short.

I must leave for Paris

tomorrow on business,

but I have a few

surprises for you,

so let's make the

most of it today.

- Mr. Sesemann, I have a

matter of great importance

which I must discuss with you.

- Ah, but first let's

meet this young lady.

You were the girl

who was brought here

to be my Clara's companion.

- Companion?

I thought we were friends.

- Yes, that's right, Father.

We're friends.

- Well, friends it is.

- That is precisely what I

want to talk to you about, sir,

if we could speak privately.

- Yes, yes.

I'll only be a moment, my dear.

Now, what is it,

Madam Rottenmeier?

- Sir, I've made a terrible

mistake with this girl.

She cannot read

and she is having

a bad effect on your daughter.

- Really, in what way?

- She's clumsy and

she behaves badly.

Why, the other day I

heard the two of them

laughing hysterically, and that

excites Clara far too much.

If you'll listen to me,

you'll send the girl

home this very night.

- Sounds like it's

just what Clara needed.

- Where are you going, sir?

- To speak with my daughter.

So, Clara, how are you doing?

- Well, Father, I've never

had so much fun in my life.

Heidi and I laugh and we play

and she tells me all

sorts of stories.

She's the best friend

anyone could ever have.

- That goes for me too.

(laughing)

- Then it's settled.

Heidi will stay as

long as she likes.

- You mean it?

- Madam Rottenmeier,

from this day forth,

Heidi is to be treated as you

would treat my own daughter,

and see to it that

she has new clothes.

- Don't forget to say please.

(laughing)

- Please, Madam Rottenmeier.

Oh, and by the way,

Clara's grandmother

arrives in two days, and--

- Grandmother?

Grandmother's coming here?

- I told you I had a

few surprises for you.

- Heidi, Heidi, my

grandmother's coming.

Oh, you'll love her,

I just know you will.

- Oh, and one last thing.

We'll have two new

additions in the house,

a pair of kittens.

- You may have new clothes

and Mr. Sesemann

may have told me

to treat you like I

do his own daughter,

but remember, you are not

Mrs. Sesemann's granddaughter.

- Yes, Madam Rottenmeier.

- You are not to

address her as Grandmama

but as Gracious Lady.

- Yes, Madam Rottenmeier.

- Good, we understand

each other.

(gentle music)

(knocking)

- Mrs. Sesemann,

what a great pleasure

it is to see you again.

- Nice of you to

say so, Sebastian.

Now, where is that

granddaughter of mine?

- [Clara] Here I am, Grandmama.

- Indeed you are.

Oh.

- You're looking

well, Mrs. Sesemann.

- I'm looking like an

old lady, Rottenmeier,

since that's what I am.

- But, but--

- Oh, but nothing.

I want to talk to

my granddaughter.

- Grandmama, I want you to

meet my new friend, Heidi.

- How nice to meet you, Heidi.

- It's nice to meet

you too, Gracious Lady.

(laughs)

- My my.

Gracious Lady?

Hm, there can be only one person

who told you to call me that.

Come now, Rottenmeier, confess.

- Well, I only thought the

child should address you

with the respect you deserve.

- And I do thank you so.

(laughing)

Oh, but you must

call me Grandmama.

- I can see I'm not needed

anymore so I'll say goodnight.

- I admit I am

amazed, Mrs. Sesemann.

I never thought the child

could be taught to read.

- Your problem, Rottenmeier,

is you don't believe in people.

I believe one can do anything

if one tries hard enough.

Perhaps we can even

teach you to smile.

See, it's not so hard.

- [Clara] Happy birthday, Heidi.

- [Sebastian] You must

blow out the candles.

- Sebastian's right, but

you must make a wish first.

Then if you close your eyes

and blow out all the

candles in a single breath,

the wish will come true.

- My wish will really come true?

- I'm sure of it.

(inhales deeply)

(blows)

- What's this?

- Open it and find out.

- Happy birthday, Heidi.

You have been such

a good friend to me.

I want to give you

something special.

A train ticket

to Switzerland?

(laughs)

- It's what you want most

of all, isn't it, Heidi?

To go home to your grandfather.

- But I, I...

But who will be your friend?

- Oh, Heidi, you will always be.

- Heidi, the doctors have

decided Clara is well enough

to go to a special school

now with other children,

and I'm sure the reason she's

stronger is because of you.

- You did so much for me.

I just wanted to do

something for you.

- You will come

visit me, won't you?

- Heidi, of course.

(laughing)

- Clara, the clothes you

gave me are so beautiful.

- I'm glad you like them.

Remember me when you wear them.

- Oh, Clara, I'll

never forget you.

(sighs)

- Oh, I know you have to go,

but (sighs) I'm going

to miss you so much.

- [Heidi] And I'm

gonna miss you too,

but you are coming to visit me.

- When spring comes I'll have

Grandmama take me to see you.

- You'll love the mountains and

you'll love Grandfather too.

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

- Heidi?

My Heidi?

- [Heidi] I missed you so much.

- And I, you.

(goats bleating)

(bell tinkling)

(water trickling)

(goats bleating)

- Hurry, Grandfather,

they'll be here any minute.

Peter, Peter.

Will you stop for dinner

tonight and meet Clara?

He didn't even say a

word to me, Grandfather.

Why is he so angry?

- He's not angry, he's jealous.

He's had your friendship

to himself for many years.

I think he's afraid you like

Clara more than him now.

- But that's silly.

They're both my friends.

- Silly or not, I think

that's how he feels.

(horse whinnying)

Oh, we've got visitors.

- Clara, Grandmama!

(laughs)

(horse whinnying)

- Oh, this truly is

a wonderful place.

Heidi was right, it's

every bit as beautiful

as she said it was

and you are all

she said you were.

She's a lucky girl to have

you as her Grandfather.

- I'm the lucky one.

- Indeed you are.

We've had such a

marvelous visit.

Unfortunately it's time to go.

- Oh, Grandmama, can't we

stay just a little longer?

The day went so fast.

- Yeah, please, Grandmama?

I don't want my best

friend to leave yet.

- Then she can stay.

- What?

- What?

- I've arranged with

your Grandfather

to have Clara stay with

you for a few weeks

while I stay down

in the village.

Oh, that is, if you want to.

(laughing)

I think that means yes.

(goats bleating)

(tense music)

- Peter?

What have you done?

I'm afraid we've

no choice, Clara.

I'd like for you to stay, but--

- Without my wheelchair,

I can't get around.

- I'll go down to the village

and fetch your grandmother.

- I wanted Clara

to see the pasture

and the mountains so badly.

- I came all this way and

now I won't get to see it.

- Yes you will.

(peaceful music)

I'll leave you both

up in the pasture,

then go get your grandmother.

At least you'll have a few

hours to spend up there.

I shouldn't be too long.

Enjoy yourselves.

- I'll never forget this

day as long as I live.

You were right, Heidi.

This is the most beautiful

place in the world.

- The meadow's even

more beautiful.

It's filled with flowers.

- Oh, I wish I could see it.

- Maybe you can't see it but I

can bring the flowers to you.

I'll be back.

Peter, how can you even talk

to Clara after what you did?

- But I--

- How could you break

her wheelchair like that?

- He did it because

he likes you, Heidi.

He was afraid you

wouldn't stay friends

with him now that I was here.

- Honestly, your goats have

more sense than you do.

- I've forgiven him,

Heidi, can't you?

- I'll do anything

to make up for it.

- Anything?

- Anything.

- Good, you can help me

get Clara to the meadow.

We'll help her walk there.

- Oh, Heidi, I don't think so.

- We can do it.

Just wrap one arm

around my shoulder

and the other around Peter's.

(grunting)

- I can't do it.

- Yes you can, you

have to try, Clara.

- I am, but--

- Then stop saying

but and just believe.

Remember what Grandmama says.

If you believe,

anything can happen.

- Oh, I'm doing it, I'm walking.

I'm really walking.

- Yes, you are, Clara.

Now wait for us.

(laughing)

- I don't understand it.

This is where I left them.

- But where can they be?

- I don't know, unless,

no, she couldn't.

They couldn't.

- Wait for me.

(joyous music)

Oh, she's walking.

My Clara is walking.

- Grandmama!

- Clara.

- It really is the most

beautiful place in the world.
