Heidi

My little girl is never tired of this show. It's the most feel good show we've found. We always go back to it. It's a little emotional at parts and we love it. I got sucked into the story after watching one episode with my daughter and that's rare when it comes to children programming. I had no idea Heidi story has been told before. We absolutely love it and recommend to anyone. Props to the creators and everyone involved, it's a beautiful show, I'd give an award if a was in a position to. Heidi is a great character, unlike in other cartoons she's not a character who always makes the right choice, she makes mistakes sometimes but always follows her heart and that's how kids can relate to her.

This series wasn't meant for us - we're a couple of 60-year-olds. But we find it utterly charming and don't want to miss any episode.

Started watching this with my 4 year old daughter, and we both love it. Beautifully written and animated. Only real real shame is the change of character voices on season two! Spoils it completely.

When the first season came out, it was a great series. Even my teenage grandaughter loved it. Unfortunately, in the second season, the voices are all different and they don't even remotely match the original voices. They are terrible. I couldn't even get through the whole season. Also, compared to the first season, the episode stories are not as good, at least in my opinion. If the makers of the show had put some more effort into thinking this through, I think they might have tried to better match the voices. Heidi, alone, sounds like a chipmunk. I will still enjoy the first season and just skip the second season. My grandaughter has watched it several times and I believe she will watch again.

Having three young children I spend lots of time watching cartoons. Generally I find them unintelligible and often drift off, thinking about work or the weekend or whatever.

Not Heidi. I find this show captivating and well written. Heidi is a cute little orphan who is sent into the Alps to live with her Grandfather, a recluse man who casts a weary eye on his new arrival. However, as Heidi's character grows into the season, it's hard not to love her, and her Grandfather loves her most of all. Then there's Peter, the young goat herder who befriends Heidi. He's a little boy, and not unlike other boys he quests adventure and exploration. Many of the episodes revolve around Heidi and Peter learning something new or challenging each others' wits. Later on, Clara joins in from "the city" (Frankfurt) and along with her Governess, we have a show with character depth and charm.

Most of all, Heidi portrays a sweet girl living in idyllic Switzerland and promotes kindness, curiosity, and a sweet virtue that is missing in so many other children's programming today. In our modern age, Heidi fits the bill for wholesome viewing. I am hoping for a season 2!
