Wonderful!

This was one of the better Heidi productions I've seen, and believe me, I've seen quite a few. Though the movie I saw was dubbed into English, it was enjoyable. The scenary is beautiful, filmed on the mountains...and the vast difference with the busy city of Frankfurt. The score is amazingly effective, with the sweet theme "Heidi", and the fast paced music to match the bustling Frankfurt streets.

All in all, a great movie! :)
