Over the course of the season, Heidi and Alm-Onji become friendly with the villagers, and Peter builds his own sled and wins a local race.

The subsequent spring, they return to the mountain in the Alps, bidding farewell to their new friends. In Frankfurt, Clara, who has been longing to see her friend again, reminds her father of his promise to her, but he reminds her that the conditions in the Swiss Alps may be too harsh for her to handle.

The doctor is sent to the Alps in her place, to inspect the area and determine whether it is an appropriate environment for a crippled, sick young girl.

Heidi, Peter, Alm-Onji, and the limitations of the terrain convince the doctor that this may be just the place for Clara to try her legs again. In due course, Clara comes to the Alps with Miss Rottenmeier, who shows a clear disapproval of the rustic conditions and an open fear of animals. However, Clara's grandmother soon arrives, and after seeing first-hand the vast improvement in Clara's condition, sends Miss Rottenmeier home, commending Clara to the Alm-Onji's care before departing herself.

After having established that Clara's legs are capable of functioning, the children and Alm-Onji begin to work on Clara's physical therapy. Eventually, Clara is able to walk without assistance and returns home with her father and grandmother, promising that she will return the following spring to be with her friends again. The series continues to be rebroadcast across Japan well after the end of its original broadcast, and has character goods, commercials, and official parodies made to this day.

Prior to its production, Isao Takahata , Hayao Miyazaki , and Yoichi Kotabe traveled overseas to conduct location research. Takahata had initially wanted to adapt the story of Pippi Longstocking to the screen. But Swedish author Astrid Lindgren turned down the offer, saying she feared the Japanese director was interested "only in money", according to Yoichi Kotabe.

So the director turned his attention to another classic of children's literature, and the team of Japanese animation artists headed to Switzerland to study Alpine cabins and pastures around the small eastern village of Maienfeld.

In a special retrospective exhibition helf from September to October at the Swiss National Museum in Zurich, Yoichi Kotabe was invited to take part in the event to explain the genesis of the character he first began sketching nearly four decades ago.

But he said that when he presented his first sketches, a specialist on the novel pointed out that "Heidi is a five year-old girl who lives in the mountains with her grandfather, who is not very friendly". Kotabe was prompted to rethink her image and gave Heidi the ruffled, short, dark locks that fans of the series saw from the first episode in Although many adaptations of Heidi have been made for film and TV over the decades, Kotabe's version has thoroughly seeped into the public perception of the character.

During their research trip in Maienfeld, Switzerland, the team was under pressure. Takahata, who died in at the age of 82, was known for the realism of his animations and attention to detail in depicting ordinary life and nature. Like its previous work Fables of the Green Forest , Zuiyo Enterprises, a subsidiary of Asahi Enterprise planning and production , was responsible for the animation production.

Shigeto Takahashi, the company's president, founded the company to create this work, and even before the production began, he produced a pilot for Heidi while he was a trainee in the planning department of the TCJ Video Center now Aiken. Years after Heidi aired, Nippon Animation became independent from Zuiyo Enterprises and acquired its production facilities and staff.

They would go on to produce series under the World Masterpiece Theater banner, however Heidi was not included in its library. Unfortunately, Kotabe could not accompany the location scouting in Argentina and Italy for Leagues in Search of Mother due to back pain. The series was widely broadcast in Europe, Africa, Asia and Arab countries.

Kayeko Ikeda, a major fan of the series, was told by a German acquaintance that he "didn't think this was a work produced in Japan. But she added that the series had also allowed "this image of Switzerland as a paradise of Alpine nature" to be spread around the world, drawing huge numbers of tourists to Heidi's remote valley. Kotabe recalled how surprised he had been in the s to see "no visible traces of Heidi" in Maienfeld.

The TV series he helped create has changed that, with its success reflected in a dedicated Heidi museum, special hiking trail and souvenir shops. Artbook collecting Yoichi Kotabe sketches of Heidi. The biggest change from the original by Isao Takahata is his treatment of Peter.

In the original, Peter is depicted as being weak-willed and subordinate to Heidi, and as will be described later, there is a scene in which Clara's wheelchair is secretly dropped from the cliff and destroyed, feeling resentful that she could not be taken care of because of Clara.

In many cases, author Spyri's work have had a female-dominated narrative, but Takahata reoriented it to a more male-dominated order. Additionally, the religious color of the original is excluded as much as possible, but respected as a whole.

It is said that the religious nature of the original was replaced by an almost religious appreciation of nature. According to Jean-Michel Wismer, the praise of nature is linked to the "tradition of Shinto". The song begins with an Alpine horn and harp tones followed by a yodeling chorus.

The opening scene cuts to the iconic scene of Heidi on a large swing against the backdrop of the majestic mountains of the Alps. In the lyrics, the song asks her grandfather who lives with her in the mountains about daily life. The Beehives 22m. A Tough Break 24m.
