## Synopsis

Heidi (2015-2020) is a German, Australian and French co-produced animated family series created by Christel Gonnard and broadcast on TF1, ZDF and Nine Network. Its protagonist is Heidi, a plucky young orphan sent to live with her grandfather in the mountains, and the show follows her as she forms friendships in a small alpine village. Jamie Croft voices Karl, Sebastian and Mr Keller, and the ensemble of village children and neighbours drives the gentle episodes. The engine is simple and sunny: each twenty-five-minute episode finds Heidi exploring the mountain landscape, meeting animals and neighbours, and turning ordinary days into small adventures. The show runs across two seasons and ninety-one episodes, built as episodic vignettes rather than a demanding continuing plot. Rendered in 3D animation, it has a bright, cozy palette and an unhurried rhythm that suits young children. Its tone is warm, lighthearted and comforting, with a strong sense of wonder in nature and the value of friendship. Fans of Anne of Green Gables, Peppa Pig and Ponyo will find the same sweetness and hopeful spirit here.
