Heidi's Song

Heidi's Song is a 1982 American animatedmusical film produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and based on the 1881 novel Heidi by Johanna Spyri. It was directed by Robert Taylor from a screenplay by Taylor, Joseph Barbera and Jameson Brewer, and stars Margery Gray as the title character, alongside the voices of Lorne Greene and Sammy Davis Jr. It is one of only four films Hanna-Barbera ever made that did not feature their trademark characters (along with Charlotte's Web, C.H.O.M.P.S., and Once Upon a Forest).
The film was released on November 19, 1982, by Paramount Pictures. Its box office receipts were disappointing, attributed by Joseph Barbera to incompetent distribution; it was released in the same week as Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales and The Last Unicorn, two other animated features.
