00:06Heidi
00:07High up in the snowy month
00:08That's lived the sweetest girl around
00:10It's Heidi
00:13High up in the silver alps
00:15Her grandpa and her dog right by her side
00:21Heidi
00:21You let the sun shine
00:24Heidi
00:25You make me feel fine
00:28Heidi
00:29You always get it right
00:33You always get it right
00:36You always get it right
00:42At the end of summer
00:44Clara and Heidi had to be home schooled
00:46It was a test for Heidi
00:48Who had been used to a more carefree life in the mountains
00:52And Mr. Backer
00:53Don't know your alphabet
00:56The teacher made it very difficult for her
00:59If you want to write
01:01Clara helped Heidi to learn her alphabet
01:04B
01:05C
01:06But that wasn't enough
01:07And it was decided
01:09That the two girls would have separate lessons from now on
01:12I don't know
01:18Calypso who had been until this moment
01:23Capt...captivated by Telmer...machus' adventures
01:28Interrupted him and told him that he may retire to rest
01:34What does captivated mean, sir?
01:38Not now, Heidi. Let's finish this paragraph first.
01:44Interrupted him...
01:46And told him that he may retire to rest.
01:50And told him that he may retire and rest.
01:54To rest? It's not that hard. You need to make an effort, Heidi.
02:00What do you think Mr Sessaman will do?
02:03When he realises you can't read yet, he'll send you away.
02:10You'll never be ready in time.
02:12In time for what, Mr Becker?
02:15Oh, now you know the words, read them in the book to see how they are written.
02:22Calypso, who had been, until this moment, captivated by...
02:30That must be Grandmama.
02:33We haven't finished, Heidi.
02:36Keep reading.
02:43It's Grandmama! It's Grandmama!
02:49Oh!
02:50Oh!
02:51Oh!
02:51Oh!
02:52Oh!
02:52Sebastian, what's going on?
02:53Oh!
02:55Oh!
02:56Oh!
02:57Oh!
02:57Oh!
02:59Oh!
03:00Sebastian!
03:01You should have seen your face!
03:04Absolutely priceless!
03:06Now, Clara, I hope I didn't scare you.
03:09Grandmama!
03:10Clara!
03:11Clara, darling!
03:13How beautiful you look!
03:16And that smile!
03:17Oh, there sure have been some changes here since my last visit.
03:23It's my new friend, Heidi.
03:25Since she's been here, I feel much better.
03:29And it certainly shows.
03:32Now, where is this wonder?
03:34Heidi, is that it?
03:36I want to meet her right away.
03:38She's having class with Mr Backer in the library, ma'am.
03:41They can't be disturbed now.
03:43Oh!
03:44Don't be so strict, Miss Rottenmire.
03:46Of course we can disturb them.
03:48Just a moment for me to greet this little wonder I've heard so much about.
03:54Sebastian, take my luggage to my room, will you?
04:03That he may retire too.
04:09May I interrupt you for a moment, sir?
04:12Well, we are in the middle of a lesson and...
04:15I won't be a minute.
04:17So, you must be Heidi.
04:19Look how beautiful you are.
04:25Thank you, Mrs Sessaman.
04:27Oh!
04:29I see Miss Rottenmire has taught you her little tricks.
04:33Come on.
04:34No need to curtsy for me.
04:36And call me Grandmama.
04:40Oh!
04:42I'm sorry, sir.
04:43I'll leave you to it.
04:45When is your next break?
04:46I'd like to spend a little time with Heidi.
04:49Oh, but madam, I'm afraid we won't have time to have a break this morning.
04:54There is so much to learn and we have so little time.
04:58No break?
04:59But this child needs to breathe some fresh air at some point.
05:03When did you start the class, dear?
05:05Uh, three hours ago?
05:08Oh!
05:10Three hours and no break?
05:13Miss, do you think that's healthy for such a young child?
05:16Well, I wouldn't question Mr Backer's methods, madam.
05:22Today is a special day, sir.
05:25And three hours of class on a special day is more than enough, don't you think?
05:30Hmm?
05:31So now if you'll excuse us, I'm abducting your student for an impromptu tea party.
05:37You can resume your class tomorrow.
05:40What?
05:41Thank you for your understanding.
05:43Come along, Heidi.
05:45I want to know all about you.
05:47Let's start with the mountains, shall we?
05:49I've always wanted to visit the mountains.
05:51I'm truly sorry about this, Mr Backer.
05:55Mrs Sessaman is, as you could see, an impetuous character.
06:00She may be, Miss Rottenmire, but I am at a critical moment in Heidi's teaching.
06:05And this kind of interruption could ruin everything.
06:09For the little girl, I mean.
06:11Let me talk to Mrs Sessaman tonight.
06:13I assure you, you'll have an extra hour a day with Adelaide from tomorrow on.
06:19Once she knows, those are her son's orders.
06:22Mrs Sessaman won't discuss them any more.
06:25Oh.
06:25Well, I'll see you tomorrow, then.
06:29Ah, Detta.
06:30Put everything here.
06:38Oh, my darlings.
06:40It is so nice to be in a proper house for once.
06:44You don't have a house?
06:51Grandma Ma is an actress for the theatre.
06:54She travels a lot.
06:55And I just toured with Mr Offenbach's latest folly,
07:00The Tales of Hoffman.
07:02A delight, but so exhausting.
07:05And so many lines.
07:07I could hardly learn them all by heart.
07:11Ah.
07:11I have the same problem with Mr Backer's book.
07:15What do you mean, darling?
07:18Does Mr Backer ask you to learn his book by heart?
07:21Hmm.
07:23Hmm.
07:28I like it when they have to learn a poem by heart, Grandmama.
07:34Well, what do you think about putting up a play?
07:37So we can all learn something by heart.
07:40And something fun.
07:42A play.
07:43We could invite Detta and Sebastian to be our audience.
07:48And Miss Rottenmire, of course.
07:51You always want a tough critic in your audience.
07:54Well, it's a good thing we've got Miss Rottenmire, then.
07:59Alrighty!
08:06Oh!
08:06Mr Backer!
08:08Oh!
08:08Oh, Detta, I'm sorry.
08:10I didn't mean to startle you.
08:12Oh, no!
08:13No!
08:14I just didn't think there was anyone here.
08:17Is there anything I can do for you?
08:19I was just wondering if you're ready for tomorrow night.
08:23Tomorrow night?
08:24The opera. Together.
08:27Oh, um, yes, I suppose.
08:31Oh, it's so kind of you to invite me.
08:35I'm just not sure. I don't really have a proper dress.
08:39Your beauty is all you need to make every woman in Frankfurt jealous, Dette.
08:49Oh, Mr. Backer.
08:51I will see you tomorrow there, Dette.
08:54Have a good day, sir.
08:57Will you really go to the opera with him?
09:00Sebastian!
09:02I'd better see what that's about.
09:12This will be the perfect place.
09:15Thank you, Sebastian.
09:16We'll set the stage right here.
09:19But, Grandmama, what will the play be about?
09:22Oh, I didn't tell you, did I?
09:26It is going to be a beautiful story about a princess and a frog
09:32and the importance of a promise between friends.
09:37Now we'll take your first reading lessons into practice.
09:41Do you think you can do that?
09:43Don't worry.
09:45If you have any problems with some of the words, just ask, all right?
09:49Yes, Grandmama.
09:55Well, it's the story of a princess who loses her precious golden ball in a pond and promises
10:06to kiss a frog in exchange for his help to get it back.
10:11But then, the princess doesn't keep her promise and she learns this is not a good thing.
10:18Now, who will play what role?
10:22Well, Heidi, you'll be a perfect frog.
10:26Kilara, you'll be the princess.
10:28And I will be the king.
10:31The princess?
10:33I'll be the princess.
10:35I love frogs.
10:38Ribbit.
10:41Ribbit.
10:44Ribbit.
10:45Ribbit.
10:47Ribbit.
10:48Ribbit.
10:49Adelaide, you're going to ruin your dress.
10:53Sorry, miss.
10:56Clara, you don't even have your shawl.
10:59You'll catch a cold.
11:00Come back in.
11:01Dinner is ready.
11:02We'll be there in a minute, Miss Rottenmeier.
11:05I think this is our cue.
11:07Let's reconvene after dinner.
11:09We'll read the play together and start learning our lines.
11:17I know you can do it, Heidi.
11:20Don't worry.
11:21And it will be more fun than Mr. Backer's class.
11:25We'll rehearse tomorrow and premiere tomorrow night.
11:33Can you see how many good things we can do now that you can read?
11:37We're going to be in a play.
11:39Will you hop and croak when you play the frog?
11:42Ribbit.
11:44You'll be the best frog ever.
11:48And that's where the princess meets the frog for the first time.
11:53There, Clara, you say.
11:56Good morrow, dear sir frog.
11:58Could you please tell me where the castle is, as I think I got lost in those dark woods.
12:03Very good, Clara.
12:06Now, Heidi, you reply.
12:17Good morrow, princess.
12:20How beautiful.
12:22Good morrow, princess.
12:25How beautiful you are.
12:29You look.
12:31That's great, Heidi.
12:35Mrs. Sessaman, could I talk to you, please?
12:38We are rehearsing our play, miss.
12:40Can't it wait?
12:41I'm afraid it can't, ma'am.
12:43It's about Miss Adelaide's lessons.
12:46Oh.
12:47You can go on reading.
12:49And, Clara, please help Heidi if she needs.
12:51All right?
12:54Let's go to the library, miss.
12:57Shall we continue?
12:59This is going to be so much fun.
13:04Ribbit?
13:07Ribbit?
13:09Come on, Heidi.
13:11Stop it now.
13:12We need to go through our lines.
13:14Ribbit?
13:14Maybe I could just croak the whole time.
13:17After all, real frogs don't talk.
13:20That wouldn't be a real play, then.
13:23Come on.
13:29So, what was your line?
13:33I think I'm tired.
13:35I should go to bed now.
13:37What about the play?
13:39I'll read it in my room.
13:41And we'll rehearse tomorrow with Grandma.
14:11I know all my lines, Grandma.
14:13And it wasn't that difficult to learn.
14:16It's such a cute story.
14:18Did you like it, Heidi?
14:19And the frog has such funny lines, too.
14:23Are you all right, Heidi?
14:25I don't think I slept well last night.
14:28That's all, Grandma.
14:31Mr. Backer is here for your lesson, Miss Clara.
14:34Thank you, Sebastian.
14:41What do you think about rehearsing our text while Clara has her lesson?
14:45I would need some help with some of my lines.
14:49I think I'd rather go back to my room.
14:51I have some homework to do for this afternoon's lesson.
14:55What is wrong, Heidi?
14:58Nothing.
14:59I'm just tired.
15:01You and I both know that something is bothering you.
15:05Would you like to tell me?
15:11I miss the mountains and Grandfather.
15:15Everything was so simple there.
15:17You only had to know how to milk a goat and how to lead the herd.
15:22And that was all.
15:24I...
15:25I can't read, Grandma.
15:28I don't know for my lines for the play.
15:33Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
15:35That's all right.
15:36Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
15:38Oh, I am sorry, Heidi.
15:41I shouldn't have put you in that situation.
15:44It's okay if you can't read.
15:46It's going to come one day.
15:48All the words and the letters mix up.
15:51I'll never be able to do it.
15:52Just give yourself time, Heidi.
15:55And in the meantime, I'll help you learn your lines for the play.
15:59Heidi, I'll read them for you and you'll repeat them to me.
16:03It won't work.
16:04That's what Mr. Backer makes me do.
16:07And I can't remember the words.
16:12I'm too stupid.
16:14You can't say that, Heidi.
16:16So you won't send me away because I can't read?
16:20Oh, of course not, Heidi.
16:26You know what I do when I can't remember my lines?
16:30No.
16:31I sing them.
16:33My favourite song to sing to is La Habaniera.
16:37It's from Carmen, a French opera, and it's all the rage lately.
16:42Now listen.
16:42Da-dum-dum-dum, da-dum-dum-dum, dear princess, you lost a royal ball.
16:50In my pond waters, I could fetch it for you.
16:54Ho-ho-hoo.
17:00Princess, stop.
17:02Come back.
17:03What about my kiss?
17:05I am a princess.
17:08Princesses don't kiss frogs.
17:11Wonderful.
17:12What a great first act.
17:15You were both perfect.
17:17Now to the second act.
17:22I am sorry to interrupt,
17:25but it is time for Heidi's lesson.
17:27Can't we postpone until tomorrow?
17:29We have an important rehearsal before tonight's show.
17:33She still has a lot to learn,
17:35and time is of the essence.
17:37Miss Rottenmeier told me she spoke to you.
17:39And she did.
17:41But, Mr. Becker...
17:41If you have a problem with this,
17:44please see Miss Rottenmeier.
17:46But until then,
17:47we'll rehearse after your class.
17:50Don't worry.
17:52I am worried about Heidi, Grandmama.
17:55She's been so sad for the last few days.
17:58Wait for me here.
18:00I'm going to see what I can do.
18:05I'm all ears.
18:08Could you help me with the start?
18:11Hmm.
18:13Calypso?
18:15Calypso who had been until this moment?
18:19What is that?
18:21That's a way to remember it.
18:23By singing.
18:25Grandmama taught me.
18:26Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
18:28That's not the way.
18:30Come here.
18:31I have the perfect method for you to remember it.
18:35Try again.
18:36And remember the rules.
18:39Calypso who had been until this moment.
18:49Detta, have a look through the keyhole and tell me what you think.
18:52Ma'am?
18:53Come over.
18:54Have a look.
19:00You need to see this, miss.
19:02I don't think Mr. Backer's methods are good for Heidi.
19:05I would not judge a teacher's method by peeking through a keyhole for an instant, ma'am.
19:13And...
19:14And...
19:17Let him know...
19:18No!
19:19And told him that he may retire to rest.
19:24It's too heavy, Mr. Backer.
19:27You know the rules.
19:28If you finish this sentence without a mistake, I'll take one off.
19:38What is going on here?
19:40Why, I am teaching this young girl how to read and write, madam.
19:44By making her carry heavy books?
19:47This is outrageous!
19:49Will you still find it outrageous when she's reading in no time?
19:53I know the university will appreciate my research.
19:57Are you telling me you haven't tested your method on anyone else before?
20:01This is going to change the way education works, Miss Rottermeier.
20:07Surely some sacrifices are needed.
20:11Sacrifices?
20:12You're talking about a little girl, Mr. Backer.
20:14How can you?
20:16You don't understand.
20:18I understand one thing.
20:20You're going to leave this place right away and never come back.
20:24Our children are not your guinea pigs.
20:44I am sorry, Heidi.
20:46He'll never hurt you again.
20:48And I know a very gentle teacher who could take really good care of you.
20:55I will teach Clara and Heidi from now on and they'll study together.
21:02Thank you, Aunt Detta.
21:04Thank you, Grandmama.
21:06And thank you, too, Miss Rottenmeier.
21:22Your Majesty.
21:24Your daughter promised me a kiss and turned her back on me.
21:30Really, my dear daughter, you didn't honour your promise?
21:35I didn't think I'd see this frog ever again.
21:37And I didn't think it was so important.
21:40Honouring your promises is one of the most important things you can do.
21:46Now, go and kiss this frog.
22:05Thank you, Princess.
22:07You kept your word.
22:09Now I'm a prince and you could be my bride.
22:25This is so much better than any opera.
