''Heidi 4 Paws'' is a feature-length children's film that retells the classic story of Heidi using dogs in all the acting roles. ''Heidi 4 Paws'' was syndicated to public television stations in the United States through American Public Television and WTTW Chicago in November/December 2008. Based on the story of the little Swiss orphan by Johanna Spyri, ''Heidi 4 Paws'' closely follows the original 1880 best-selling novel, but with a canine twist. The young Heidi is sent to live with her reclusive Grandfather high in the Alps. Just as Heidi adjusts to her new life in the mountains, she is taken away by her social worker. Heidi finds herself living in the big city with Clara Sesehound, who has been made an invalid after a debilitating illness. Although Heidi comes to love Clara, her quest to return to the mountains dominates her stay. In the end, she is able to reunite with her beloved Grandfather. When Clara later comes to visit, she miraculously regains her ability to walk. ''Heidi 4 Paws'' is the first in an intended series of eight films that retell classic stories with live action dogs playing all the roles. ==Origins== Inspired by the 1930s MGM shorts, ''Barkies'', children's television series such as ''Wishbone'', and the family film ''Babe'', writer/director Holly Goldberg Sloan (''Angels in the Infield'', and ''The Big Green'') created the 4 Paws brand as a way to revitalize classic literature for a new generation. Three partners, Tim Goldberg, Tim Ellis, and Chuck Sloan, joined forces to create Goldberg Sloan, and made ''Heidi 4 Paws'' independently, without financial support from a major studio. The film took over four years to make, and features a blend of live action photography, 3D animation and visual effects. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heidi 4 Paws」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
