The early information from Disney lists 165 minutes.Poppins#1 wrote:What's with all the Heidi haters? I saw this back in 1993 on the Disney channel and thought it was a very nicely done production. However, Disney has never released it on video in the full 193 minute cut that aired on television. The VHS and laserdisc were cut down to 165 minutes (I have no idea why). So I never bought them. Hopefully the dvd will be uncut.
I think the book Heidi is very charming, but when they made the movie, they stretched it out to long. If they would have just made a 90 minnute feature I would have enjoyed it. I also enjoyed Patricia Neal's role in the film, in my eyes she is one of the greatest actoresses ever. I mean she has been acting since the 40's.Luke wrote:The early information from Disney lists 165 minutes.Poppins#1 wrote:What's with all the Heidi haters?

I met Patricia Neal twice. She was a very sweet lady, very nice. She had a lot of cool 'old Hollywood' stories to tell, you would have loved that Guru. The only actor she worked with that she had anything negative to say about was George Peppard. Apparantly he wasn't so nice when she first met him, but later hew was okay. I guess he had some personal problems going on at that time. Also, her first husband was the guy who wrote Charlie and the Chocalate Factory.Disney Guru wrote:I think the book Heidi is very charming, but when they made the movie, they stretched it out to long.

Yeah, I remember her from that show. But I've never seen her in any of those older films.The Monkey's Uncle wrote:maybe you know her as mrs. bliss from saved by the bell?
so I've modified the LindaY nick in this reload to reflect the newer version of her nick 
That's one thing I wish they would release. The later Saved by the Bell ones are out, why not the Miss Bliss years(or year, I don't think she was on there over a year)?purplebluelove99 wrote:Did anyone know that Haley Mills is Miss Bliss on Saved By the Bell.
There was just one short season of "Good Morning, Miss Bliss." The show was renamed "Saved By The Bell: The Junior High Years" for syndication, but it was originally aired on The Disney Channel as a sitcom project for Mills. Only after it was renamed, retooled, partially recast, and turned into a more surreal youth-oriented comedy, did it become "Saved By The Bell", NBC's hit Saturday morning series.shr_fan wrote:That's one thing I wish they would release.

!Well, perhaps we are going to get the un-cut version after all! The Disney website is listing it at 191 min.

Yes, I hope it' s not the case that "That Darn Cat" and "In Search of the Castaways" are full frame transfers. I have the early 1990's Laserdisc editions of both those movies and if all they are doing is porting over those transfers to DVD then it will be a sad day, because neither of my laserdiscs appears to be open-matte. There is (in my opinion) evidence of side-cropping.Luke wrote:Great news! Nice find, Poppins! Let's hope they're right about this and wrong about <i>That Darn Cat</i> and <i>In Search of the Castaways</i>' aspect ratios.
