This is the 2D cartoon of Heidi, set in the Swiss alps but was made in French/Australia.
First, let's talk about Heidi and the story surrounding her, I've seen the anime version of Heidi and thought that Heidi was a bit too temperamental but this adaptation, the writers are trying to aim for a less annoying Heidi. She's like a typical five-year-old kid, inquisitive and chill but not enough self- discipline due to her young age.
Still, though, they seem to be trying to make her too similar to her playful anime counterpart.
Still, though the series, in my opinion is saccharine in a childish sort of way. Such as when Heidi befriends an innocent rat when in general belief, rats are supposed to be contagious. Though, this may date back to Madeline (1998) when she convinced the boy that the mouse was innocent and that she wasn't afraid.
Heidi's voice may have been a little too old for her age.
The aunt is not a very good character either, she doesn't seem to take much time to control Heidi's impetuous behavior. Also, her emotional parts were forced and the show didn't take much time to make me care about her character.
The animation is pretty good for the most part, though Heidi's character animation felt generic but that's the only high part of this cartoon. Everything else such as the script, which added in some elements that the book didn't have from and the flawed characters could've been better.
