A feature-length clip-compilation film premiered on March 17, 1979 by Zuiyo (which by then was a separate entity from Nippon Animation, which employed many of the TV series' animation staff). All the original cast were replaced excluding Heidi and the grandfather. This movie is also the only incarnation of the Heidi anime to have been released commercially in the United States in English (on home video in the 1980s) by Pacific Arts Video produced by Claudio Guzman and Charles Ver Halen.

Isao Takahata remarked "Neither Hayao Miyazaki nor I are completely related to any shortening version" on this work.

This dub also changes the name of the dog Josef to Bernard, ostensibly because he is a St. Bernard.
