Studio 100 to Showcase Heidi—Rescue of the Lynx at AFM

Studio 100 International is set to showcase its new animated feature Heidi—Rescue of the Lynx at the American Film Market (AFM).

Produced by Studio 100 International, 3 Doubles Producciones and Hotel Hungaria in association with Studio Isar Animation, the movie follows as the iconic Heidi character embarks on a mission to save a lynx in peril. The adventure aims to stay true to the spirit of the original work and its characters while telling a completely new story.

Since debuting in 1880, Johanna Spyri’s story of resilience, joy and a deep connection to nature have resonated with children and adults around the globe. Heidi—Rescue of the Lynx marks Heidi’s animated film debut.

The film is set to arrive in cinemas in 2025. Studio 100 International has partnered with LEONINE to bring the film to theaters across Germany. The movie is set for completion in early summer 2025.

“With Heidi–Rescue of the Lynx, we didn’t want to retell the well-known story, but instead focus on a fresh new adventure that stays true to Heidi’s core values while being adapted to resonate with today’s audiences,” said Thorsten Wegener, director of business operations at Studio 100 International and the film’s producer. “With breathtaking visuals, stunning landscapes and a powerful environmental message, the film promises to capture the innocence and joy that have shaped countless childhood memories for generations. With her enduring popularity and international recognition, Heidi’s open and free spirit is sure to inspire a new generation of viewers.”
