“As my grandmother will tell you, when I was little I loved this movie. It basically started my love of movies, especially old ones. It also was why I idolized Shirley Temple when I was little.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhatu0026#39;s not to love about this movie? Although it is slightly cheesy, itu0026#39;s an incredibly sweet movie that, today, never fails to make me cry! It also has its funny points. I always loved the part where Heidi and Klara steal the organ grinderu0026#39;s monkey. The choas it causes in the house is incredible!”
