ข้อมูลอนิเมะAlps no Shoujo Heidi

Heidi, an orphan girl since she was 1 year old, has grown up under the care of her aunt Dete. However, just as she turns 5, Heidi is sent to live with her formidable grandfather Onji in the Swiss Alps when her aunt gets a housemaid job in Frankfurt. Heidi soon befriends a goatherd named Peter, and she is amazed with the beauty of the natural surroundings and explores her new home with visible satisfaction as Onji gets lost in his thoughts.

Heidi enjoys the simplicity and the freedom of her new life. Having been forced to seclusion before, she enjoys running around playing with the goats and enjoying the pleasures of nature. She makes herself a hay bed and explores her new home, while her grandfather Onji is won over bit by bit by her laughter, intelligence and enthusiasm.

After spending her first night at her grandfather's house, Heidi wakes up to the happy realization that her newly-acquired happiness is not a dream. Onji allows Heidi to join Peter on his trip to the meadow. The routine of the young goatherd becomes an adventure for the little girl. She learns a couple of valuable lessons and comes back home excited to share them with Onji.

Day after day, Onji realizes with great pleasure that Heidi is adapting fine to the hard life in the Alms mountains. While Heidi is at the high pastures with Peter, a storm surprises them and force the kids to take refuge for a while. Once the storm has passed, Heidi finds a little bird that has fallen from the nest, names him Picchi and takes him under her care. Peter is jealous because the girl refuses to go to the pastures with him the next day to take better care of the bird.

Peter is entrusted with delivering a letter to Onji. Heidi distracts him showing the kid how Picchi has already learnt to fly and they leave to the high pastures where some goats get lost as the kids play. Peter and Heidi find the goats but a thick fog isolates them. Joseph, Ohi's dog, finds them and shows them the way back to the pastures where Onji waits. At the end of the day, he gets to read the letter that brings news from her aunt, who is well and happily established, wishing for Heidi to join her. Onji throws the letter to the fire. He can't conceive his life without the little girl now.

The Delphi kids are jealous of Peter's preference for Heidi. Onji comes down from the mountains to sell the wooden utensils he crafts and the cheese he makes to get groceries and all he needs in return. Convinced that the Delphi baker has tried to cheat him, Onji leaves angry and heads to a further village, where he gets a good deal. At his return, he finds Heidi home who is excited with all the things she's learnt during the day: now she can milk and whistle like a good goatherd. Onji observes her proudly and treats her with a yummy sweet he's bought for her.

Heidi has been living in the mountains for 3 months already, and the summer is coming to an end. The weather is not that pleasant anymore, so Onji decides that it's not safe for Heidi to join Peter in the meadows any more and the girl stays at home from now on. She learns how to make cheese and also that life in the mountain has a tough side full of work, responsibility and discipline.

Heidi is confronted with the hard reality of Picchi migrating with its kind. Moreover, she gets angry at Peter because the boy thinks that Picchi has left because the bird doesn't love her anymore. Onji calms her down, takes her for a walk and explains to the girl that Picchi needs a warmer place to spend the winter. Peter catches a bird for Heidi to make up with her. The kids become friends again but Heidi decides to free the bird so it can migrate too and isn't left behind alone.

The winter is around the corner and the first snowfall fills Heidi with joy. However, that means that Peter and the goats won't go back to the meadows until Spring, and Heidi gets isolated at home. It wouldn't take long for her to make new friends though. On Sunday, Peter visits Heidi and lets her know that his grandmother has invited her to visit. Onji is not happy with the idea.
