Based on Hayao MIYAZAKI (born 1941) / Isai TAKAHATA (1935 - 2018) Heidi - 1974 A major item in our catalogue: this large original Hanken with the painted background and inked and gouache cellulo of Heidi and her friends: Peter (Pierre in the French version), Hercule (the dog), as well as the goat Biquette and even a bird and dragonflies. This work is a museum piece, and should be in the Heidi Museum in Maienfeld, Switzerland. It represents the Ghibli Museum before it was created. But Takahata and Miyazaki travelled abroad for the first time, to Switzerland, to make Heidi, which was to revolutionise animation worldwide. It was the first work to be translated into Hebrew in Israel, whose people identified with the cause of this little mountain girl. Heidi is an icon of Switzerland, a symbol. Since Heidi, Switzerland has come to represent the height of exoticism, with its mountains and pure air, for the Japanese. What's more, the format and the way the paintings and celluloid were created by the founders of Studio Ghibli are nothing short of historic. It is without doubt the most beautiful work imaginable from Miyazaki and the late Takahata (author of "Tomb of the Fireflies"). Heidi the little orphan, a little girl from the Alps (in the French version), touched everyone in 1974. It was thanks to Heidi that other cartoons such as Candy and Princess Sarah became so popular. A mythical, unique and essential item.
