Quotes from Heidi:
Pastor Schultz:
You're going for the child?
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: I am.
Pastor Schultz: You're not walking all the way to Frankfurt? It's over 100 miles!
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: I shall get there.
Pastor Schultz: Wait, neighbor.
Franz: Let us lend you enough for your railway fare.
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: That's kind of you, Franz, but my legs will carry me. And I have money to bring us back on the train.
Pastor Schultz, Franz: Auf Wiedersehen. Good luck, Adolph. God speed to you, neighbor.
Pastor Schultz: I do not know this Adolph Kramer, but the village thinks that the child should be taken away from him.
Blind Anna: You've just come to Dörfli, Herr Pastor, or you'd understand why.
Pastor Schultz: They say you have known Kramer for 50 years. What sort of a man is he?
Blind Anna: Who knows? He was a grand young man, except for his wild temper. And his son grew up just like him. Tobias wanted to marry a girl from Mayenfeld. Adolph disliked her and forbade it, but the boy married her just the same and brought her home. Adolph turned them away in a rage and told Tobias never to come back until he'd given up the girl.
Pastor Schultz: But why should the village hate him and fear him so?
Blind Anna: Feuds and weeds grow quickly, Herr Pastor. The people of the village sided with the boy and the father cursed them and went and built himself a hut on the mountain. Since that day, he's never spoken to a living soul.
Pastor Schultz: Frau Anna, is the child safe with him?
Blind Anna: God knows. Living alone like that has made him a strange creature.
Heidi: I used to go to Sunday school. Are you going to be my Sunday school teacher, too?
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: We'll have our first lesson now.
Heidi: I'd like to read this story. Shall I? "A certain man had two sons, and the wilder and Y-O-U-N-G-E-R..."
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: Younger.
Heidi: "Younger of them said to his father, ''ather, give me the P-O-R... '" These are hard words. Maybe you'd better help me.
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: "'Give me the portion of goods which is mine.' So the father divided his leaven among them, and the son went away into a foreign country."
Heidi: You know the story by heart.
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: Yes, by heart.
Heidi: Did the son ever come home to his father?
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: "And the son said, 'Father, I have sinned against Heaven and against you, and I am no longer fit to be called your son.' But the father said, 'Bring the best robe and put it on him, and put rings on his finger. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. For this my son was dead and is alive again. He was lost and now is found.'"

Facts about Heidi:
Shirley Temple developed throat problems after she accidentally swallowed fake snow during a winter scene, and the crew had to shoot around her for two days.
Marcia Mae Jones was four years older and eighteen inches taller than Shirley Temple when this movie was filmed. Jones later recalled of the scene in which Temple helps her crippled character to walk that if she had really leaned on Temple, she "would have crushed her."
The scene in which Heidi smuggles a litter of kittens into the house, and the following scene in which Sebastian hides the kittens from Heidi's cat-hating aunt, were in the original book; the scene with the capuchin monkey was written for the film.
