Dove Review

As sweet Heidi goes to live with her grumpy grandfather in the Alps, her charming personality grows on the old man, and he comes to adore her. However, her aunt, who left her with him in the first place, decides Heidi needs a better education with a rich family in the city.

Although the family has a wonderful daughter named Clara, whom Heidi adores, Heidi is homesick for grandfather and her friends. Clara’s father and grandmother decide that Heidi should return to her home. Eventually, Clara’s grandmother encourages Clara to visit Heidi up in the Alps, too. In the end, a miracle happens for Clara that amazes everyone, especially her father.

“Heidi” has and always will be a heartwarming story for many generations. The film includes a lesson about trusting in the truth rather than other people’s gossip. We award this film the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages.
