Episode notes

Miyazaki and a couple other guys, Yowichi Kitabe and Asao Takaata were working on Pippi Longstocking. They were not allowed to do it so they did Heidi instead. It's just like an interesting it bounced across the globe and then bounced back even stronger as a property. That fresh riff on it makes it even more popular where it came from.

Heidi, Heidi, Heidi! Everyone's talking about this adorable ragamuffin, a precocious child who lights up every life she touches like a ray of God's perfect sunshine. This week we learn that living in a hut in the Swiss Alps is better than living in a city, and that if you roast a piece of cheese just right it sounds like the best food you could ever eat.
