Cult icon Heidi continues to enchant audiences across generations and continents. Inspired by the novels of Johanna Spyri, the 80-minute CGI animation Heidi – Rescue of the Lynx stays true to the essence of the original story while introducing an all-new adventure that resonates with today’s audiences.

The film is directed by Tobias Schwarz (Tarzan II,  Anastasia, Maya and the Golden Orb, The Queen’s Corgi) and is a co-production between Studio 100 International, 3Doubles Producciones, and Hotel Hungaria Animation, in association with Studio Isar Animation. It is produced by Thorsten Wegener and Dario Sanchez, with the script written by Rob Sprackling (Gnomeo & Juliet, The Queen’s Corgi). 

Spirited eight-year-old Heidi lives with her grandfather, in a cottage in the mountains. When  she finds an injured lynx kitten, she decides, together with her friend Peter, to help it and return  it to its family – without her grandfather knowing. When a greedy businessman shows up – who wants to build a sawmill in the mountains and sets traps for the lynx – things get  complicated. On her mission to protect not only the lynx and its family but also the village and  her Alpine home, Heidi uncovers her grandfather’s hidden past and faces the perils of nature,  the lure of industrial greed, and the emotional pull of friendship. 

The new CGI-animated feature has been sold to several territories, including: France (Apollo  Films), Baltics (ACME Film), Poland (Kino Świat), Portugal (NOS Lusomundo Audiovisuais),  Italy (Adler Entertainment), UK (Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment), Hungary, Moldova, and  Romania (ADS Service), former Yugoslavia (Blitz), Czech Republic and Slovakia (Bohemia  Motion Pictures), Ukraine (Green Light Films), Turkey (Beşiktaş Kültür Merkezi), Greece (Zinos  Panagiotidis), Israel (FilmHouse), and Iceland (Myndform).

Studio 100 Film will continue selling the remaining territories, such as the USA, Latin America, Scandinavia, the Indian sub continent, the Philippines and Mongolia during Marché du Film. 

Studio 100 Film will unveil Heidi – Rescue of the Lynx exclusively and for the first time internationally at this year’s Cannes market. As well as the screening on Thursday, May 15 at  5:45 PM at Olympia 7, the film will be screened online on May 15 at 11:00 AM. During Marché  du Film, Studio 100 Film will be based at Résidence Le Gray d’Albion, Apartment 6B2. 

The film is set to premiere at the Goldener Spatz Festival, Germany’s most prestigious children’s film festival, which takes place from June 1 to 7 in Erfurt and Gera. Distributed by Leonine, its theatrical release in Germany is slated for June 26, 2025.
