Fraulein Rottenmeier is one of the {{JustForFun/egregious}} examples of this in a few of the cartoon versions, but especially in the Creator/HannaBarbera film "Heidi's Song."[[note]]One of only three movies they ever made that didn't feature their trademark characters (the others being Literature/CharlottesWeb, and WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest.[[/note]] There's one part where she turns into a fanged witch and...well, you should really just watch it for yourself.

* NeverLiveItDown: In the USA, the book is haunted by the 1968 TV movie which prevented people from seeing the quite exciting ending of a UsefulNotes/American{{football}} game between the [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague Oakland Raiders and the New York Jets]] that ran long (technology at the time prevented the network from switching back to the game when it became clear just what people were missing). Ever since, [[UsefulNotes/SportsPreemption sports games have cut into scheduled programming]].

** It's strongly implied that Heidi's sleepwalking spells are caused by a propensity to epilepsy - her MissingMom Adelheid had seizures ("curious attacks, during which no one knew whether she was awake or sleeping"), and at the time the book was written epilepsy was thought to be an inherited trait. [[ScienceMarchesOn Modern science is less clear on the subject]] - there seem to be some inheritable risk factors, but it's usually ''not'' something that recurs from parent to child, and most cases of epilepsy have unknown causes.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: Fraulein Rottenmier has a good point to make concerning Heidi's manners and personality, but her actions come off as harsh and cruel. Klara and her grandmother at least are more patient with Heidi, even helping her how to read.

* AluminiumChristmasTrees: The concept of a person's physical health deteriorating due to being away from home may seem strange to modern audiences, but until the late 19th century, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostalgia nostalgia]][[note]]Originally a Greek word meaning "pain for home"; the English word "homesickness" is derived from it[[/note]] was considered a genuine medical condition. It was first observed among Swiss mercenaries serving abroad, and some deaths from it were even reported. Severe homesickness could actually receive a "schizophrenia, undifferentiated type" diagnosis as late as the 1980s.

* {{Glurge}}: Enjoyable Glurge, but still. The book really hammers in the idea that being outside is good for you and being cooped up indoors isn't, and [[ThrowingOffTheDisability Klara learning to walk]] just because she spent time in the mountain air can be a bit glurgey to modern readers, since we now know that many disabilities just don't go away like that.
