christopher c. m A classic Shirley Temple movie. But is it perfect? Not even close. For one thing her character Heidi isn't very bright and far too trusting. Here's a thing, if a person talks to you badly, treats you badly and does nothing but bad things to you would not have your best interest and not go with them blindly. Also, there's a bit of theme with the antagonists in Shirley Temple movies. I call them Depression Era Karens. Lastly, it's slow but most movies in the 1930s dragged. But great performances and pretty good makes this a classic. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r Another lost flixster rating.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member "Heidi" Stars An 8-Year-Old Shirley Temple Plays The Title Character. Heidi Is A Highly Intelligent, Quick-Witted Orphan Turned Kidnappee. Heidi's Self-Interested Aunts Takes Her To Live With Her Grandfather, Adolph Kramer, An Old, Introverted Grouch. When The Grandfather Begins To Have A Beautiful Bond With Heidi, The Aunt Returns To Steal Heidi Away To Sell Her To A Family In Need Of A Playmate For The Rich Mansion Owner's Sickly Daughter. Far From Home And Missing Her Grandfather, Heidi Must Learn To Adjust To A Large House, A New Friend, And A Villainous Châtelaine... I Loved This Film. It's Adventurous, Humorous, Well-Written, And Well-Directed. This Film Brings So Much Nostalgia. It Could Easily Compete And Win Over Films Such As Home Alone Or The Nightmare Before Christmas For Best Cult Classic Christmas Film If It Weren't Underrated And Already 83 Years Old... Shirley Temple Was Phenomenal As Usual. With This Film, She Proved Something That We All Knew Before And After Her Performance: Shirley Temple Is The Poster Child For Great Child Acting. Not Only Could/Did She Act -- She Sang And She Tapped Danced Simultaneously. A True National Treasure, She Did What No Child Actor Could Have Done In That Time. She Made The Movie Great. Aside From One Or Two Laughably Ridiculous Moments, Heidi Was An Impressive, Heartwarming Tale That Audiences Of All Ages Could Enjoy -- 98% Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely the worst Heidi movie ever made. As a Swiss I grew up with the book Heidi written by Johanna Spyri. Poor Johanna wouldn't just turn in her grave if she know the Shirley Temple Heidi, no she would spin like a Helicopter blade Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review steve d Cute adaptation, one of Temple's best. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review andy h I have problems with the way the women and some men treat the children in here as it is timely dated, but it's still a pleasure to watch Shirley temples character overcome those emotional obstacles and socialize with everyone otherwise.
