Jane Seymour chews up the scenery as the governess to a spoiled, rich city girl whom Heidi is forced to visit. The adults think the invalid Klara (Lexi Randall) needs companionship, but wise old grandpa knows she needs good mountain air and independence.

This Disney production brings little to the story, but is worth watching for its stunning Alpine vistas. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Jane Seymour starts out a perfect bitch as Fraulein Rottenmeir but manages to humanize her character somewhat, she never b...( read more)ecomes likable but not the stick figure martinet the character is usually portrayed. The rest of the cast is uniformly enjoyable and the scenery, both indoors and out, is gorgeous!

    A decent Disney film. I haven't watched this since I was a kid but I remember enjoying it. On of the few Disney films that was not animation. A solid story and acting to what I remember. Good decent watch for kids and the family to watch.
