I wasn't a big fan of Heidi's cartoon when I was a child but I enjoy this story very much. I need to live in that beautiful place with nice people.
Peter, who is Heidi's friend in Dorfi, made me laugh. He gets jealous of Heidi's friends when Heidi spend her time more with them. When they give him food Peter becomes to like them.
I admire Uncle Alp, who can fix everything by himself.
