Synopsis

Heidi is an eight-year-old Swiss orphan who is given by her aunt to live with her mountain-dwelling grandfather. After some time, her aunt takes her back and places her in the wealthy Sesemann household in Frankfurt, Germany, where she becomes a companion to Klara, a sheltered girl in a wheelchair. Although unhappy in her new environment, Heidi tries to make the best of the situation while constantly longing for her grandfather.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 33

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office

2015 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.1× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
