Gold Award, KIDS FIRST! Best 2009. Based on the classic 1880 story, it offers a heartwarming tale with a twist - dogs as the characters. The characters are intriguing and delightful to watch. The story is filled with lessons, wisdom and meaningful situations. The combination of animation and live action works very well, including the costuming and sets. It has a very child like quality that draws you in and after a while you tend to overlook the silliness of the costumed animals. The production is quite well done. The story goes back to the original book, turning pages and transitioning into film. One concern we have in terms of film festival play is that the images become quite pixilated at times which would deter it from being screened on the big screen.

The re-telling of the classic "Heidi," an adorable orphan sent to live with her cranky Grandfather in the Swiss Alps...starring all dogs. Voiced by Angela Lansbury, Stephen Rea, Julian Sands, Steve Guttenberg and others.
