About

Eight-year-old Heidi and her friend Peter care for an injured lynx cub and try to protect it from a businessman's traps.

Heidi: Rescue of the Lynx is a 2025 animated adventure film directed by Tobias Schwarz. Eight-year-old Heidi lives with her grumpy grandfather Alm-Öhi in a secluded hut in the Swiss Alps. She has holidays and wants to visit her friend Clara, but finding a lonely, injured lynx cub changes her plans. Without her grandfather's knowledge, Heidi and her best friend Peter care for the animal and want to bring it back to its family in the mountains. The greedy businessman Schnaittinger plans a sawmill in the mountain landscape and has set traps for the lynx. Heidi and Peter try to protect the cub, its family, the village community and the nature she loves. In the English voice version, Lilly Graffam voices Heidi, Tom Zahner her grandfather, Lily Held Clara and Michael McCown Mr. Schnaittinger.
