THE LAST THING MOM SAID
WHEN SHE TUCKED ME IN BED
JUST AS SHE SHUT OFF THE
LIGHT,

WAS, "DARLING, SLEEP TIGHT,
AND DURING THE NIGHT,
I HOPE THAT THE BEDBUGS
DON'T BITE!"

GREAT, MOM! THANKS A LOT
FOR LEAVING THAT STUCK
IN MY HEAD!

TEN-FOOT TALL BEDBUGS
READY TO BITE ME. THAT'S
ONE CLASSIC BETTER
UNSAID!!!

Heidi    (2005)

producers: TV-Loonland
         Telemagination
         Nelvana
animation: 2D animation
run time: 77 mins

Based on the ever-popular children's' novel by Johanna Spyri,
"Heidi" follows the adventures of an indomitable young girl, forced to
move to her grandfather's hovel high up in the Swiss Alps, where she
surprises all by settling in to a
firm friendship, not only with her
somewhat grouchy relative, but also
with a new friend Peter, the goat-
herder. But alas, Heidi's scheming
Aunt has other plans for her - ones
that will bring her great financial
reward - and Heidiis thus dragged away from her new home, back to
the city. Here she befriends Clara who is wheelchair-bound, and
through their friendship, Clara gains the courage to walk again,
Auntie's plans crumble around her, and it all ends happily ever after
for our heroine, back in her happy Alpine home...

Since it was first published in 1880, "Heidi" has sold more than
100million copies around the world, in 50 different languages, and
there have been numerous live-action and animated adaptations. This
British-German-Canadian co-production was made for $4.5m. The
British part of that triumverate is Telemagination, and "Heidi" was
their very first foray into feature animation.

The film itself is a hand-drawn affair directed by Telemagination's
Alan Simpson, whose director credits
include the third series of "Farthing
Wood" and the Bafta-nominated and
Annecy-winning Christmas special "The
Last Polar Bear".

Topping the list of voices on the cast list is Christopher Plummer, who
plays Heidi's cantankerous Grandfather - he being no stranger to
mountains, of course...

In the UK, "Heidi" was released straight to video/DVD on 26th
September 2005. But our European neighbours were more fortunate.
The film received a German cinema debut in December 2005...
