What a sweet film. I have been wanting to watch this for a while. Shirley Temple is amazing as always and the rest of the cast is just as good. Lovely storyline too.

A Shirley Temple classic, Heidi is a touching film about redemption and the bonds of family. The story follows an orphaned girl named Heidi who’s taken to live with her hermit grandfather, but just as they’re starting to bond her aunt abducts her and sells Heidi to a rich family to be a playmate to their invalid daughter. Shirley Temple gives a terrific performance and has great chemistry with Jean Hersholt; who plays her grandfather. And per usual, a cute little dance number is worked in that features some elaborate costumes. Heidi is a beloved holiday classic and really highlights Shirley Temple’s amazing talent to light up a screen and win over the hearts of audiences.

i dont understand the hype for this movie it is incomprehensible and it sucks. people's nostalgia for old movies is confusing to me. just because it came out in the 1930's doesnt make it good.
