When eight-year-old Heidi saves a lynx family and their home from a greedy businessman, she gets her grandfather to come clean with the village community and she realizes that her beloved little lynx belongs with his family in the wild just as she belongs with her grandfather in the mountains.
The adventure film stays true to the spirit of the timeless classic Heidi, based on the famous book and characters by Swiss author Johanna Spyri, while telling a completely new story about the girl from the Swiss Alps. With breathtaking visuals, stunning landscapes, and a powerful environmental message, the film captures the innocence and joy that have shaped countless childhood memories for generations.
The animated film is directed by Tobias Schwarz, known for his work on “Tarzan II,” “Anastasia,” “Maya and the Golden Orb” and “The Queen’s Corgi,” with the script written by Rob Sprackling (“Gnomeo & Juliet,” “The Queen’s Corgi”).
It is produced by Studio 100 Intl., 3 Doubles Producciones and Hotel Hungaria Animation in association with Studio Isar Animation. Leonine will release the film theatrically in Germany, with completion set for early summer 2025.
