Heidi 3D

Heidi in the 3D version

Rai YoYo, starting from last June, has included in its schedule an animated series able to merge expertly tradition and innovation: the cartoon in question, in fact, has as its protagonist the legendary Heidi who lives with her grumpy grandfather in the Swiss Alps, to whom she was entrusted by an aunt after losing both parents, but shows up with an absolutely all-round 3D graphic avant-garde, created by Studio 100 Animation in collaboration with Planeta Junior, Flyingark, TF! / TIJI and ZDF / KIKA.

After 40 years from its television debut (in Germany it made its debut in 1974 while in Italy in 1978 on Rai channels) the remake of the animated series Heidi, which has been adapted to the needs of the public of our times, developing a new graphic look and proposing episodes with a more lively and lively rhythm. But the protagonists of the famous cartoon in CGI (computer-generated images) remain the same as the Japanese version: the zealous Miss Rottenmeier, Aunt Dete, the shepherd boy Peter, the sweet little dog Nebbia, her friend Clara and grumpy grandfather.

Heidi's grandfather

The plot of Heidi 3D, therefore, basically remains faithful to cartoon 70s, as both draw on the original story told by the children's novels made by the Swiss writer Johanna Spyri starting in 1880.

After a period spent with his grandfather, who in the meantime had become accustomed to his `` noisy '' presence, Heidi, at the behest of his aunt Dete, moved to Frankfurt at the Seseman family. During her stay in the city, Heidi will become the girl's lady-in-waiting Clare, towards whom he will develop a sincere affection, but, over time, he will end up regretting life with his grandfather and the carefree hours with his friend Peter and, for this reason, he will return to live in the beloved mountains, bringing with him , for a short time, even Clara herself. However, in the remake in digital, broadcast by the Rai YoYo children's channel, there is no shortage of new characters who contribute to making the episodes more exciting and animated, each of which is accompanied by the narrator of the voice actor Luca Biagini. The animated series, directed by the French director Jerome Mouscadet, Is made up of 39 episodes of 22 minutes each and is aimed at a target between 5 and 8 years old.

Peter, Heidi's friend

Heidi, we remember, was not the first cartoon to be revisited in a three-dimensional key; previously, in fact, The Maya Bee e Calimero they have already been renewed for the new generation of small viewers.

The criticisms of the nostalgic

Those who were children in the 70-80 years they did not hesitate to express their disappointment with the reinterpretation of the cartoon that made them dream during their childhood. They, in fact, have declared that they much prefer the first version directed by the master of Japanese animation cinema Hayao Miyazaki and produced by the animation studio Zuiyo Eizoe. It seems, moreover, that they just did not send the excessive slimming down of the chubby child to whom the mountains smiled and the goats were saying 'hello'.
