1!Tropes
2* PetFadStarter: The dog Joseph in this adaptation boosted the popularity of St. Bernard dogs, which is especially bizarre since he doesn't appear in the original novel.
3* RealLifeRelative: A rather curious case in the Latin American Spanish dub: Heidi and Klara (and also Peter)'s voice actresses, Cristina Camargo and Diana Santos, are cousins in real life, while Grandpa's voice actor, Francisco Colmenero, is their uncle.
4* ReferencedBy:
5** ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': When Nano accepts Mimimi's challenge in Chapter 39, the former is dressed like Klara, while Rentarou and Shizuka are dressed like Heidi and Peter, respectively. The latter two are also drawn in the same art style as this anime.
6** Kazama from ''Manga/CrayonShinChan'' is secretly a fanboy of the Heidi anime, as revealed in an episode where he bought a Heidi dress and wig online to cosplay as the character. Shin-Chan as usual peeps into his room unannounced, much to Kazama's horror.
7** ''[[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Mother 2]]'': "Fill in the name of this popular anime: ''____di of the Alps.'' " The choices are ''hai'' (yes) and ''iie'' (no).
8** ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' has an episode were [[ButtMonkey Hasegawa]] is put to trial for peeping on girls with some [[GenreBusting alien tech]] binoculars and [[AntiHero Gintoki]] pretends to be a lawyer in order defend him in court. If you now wonder why a ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' parody is doing here it is that each time they [[DiggingHimselfDeeper dig themselves deeper]] they imagine themselves as Heidi's animals, as she slowly drags them to hell with her. While the creators of the Heidi anime weren't too fond of this, the episode was popular with people that liked Heidi in their childhoods.
9** The arcade game ''VideoGame/{{Frogger}}'' uses a part of the opening theme[[note]]Specifically, the second yodeling part.[[/note]] as one of the little jingles that play when the player gets a frog to one of the homes at the top of the screen.[[note]]Aside from the 1975 edited compilation movie, this is the closest the show had ever come to being brought to the U.S.[[/note]]
10** The Italian dub of the 1977 Creator/ToeiAnimation feature film ''Sekai Meisaku Douwa: Hakuchou no Ouji'' (an anime version of ''Animation/TheWildSwans'') renames the heroine, Elisa, as Heidi, likely because she bears a very strong resemblance to the TV anime version of Heidi.
11** The opening of ''Anime/SuperMilkChan'', which features Milk swinging above the Swiss Alps, references the opening of this.
12** In the ''[[Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries Pokémon: Master Quest]]'' episode "Hatch Me If You Can", Jessie and James appear disguised respectively as Heidi and Peter. Some dubs, like the Italian and Latin American ones, also took the ball and had them make references to the show during their motto (The Italian one adds quotes from the Italian theme song, while the Latin American one talks about "Protecting world from Mrs. Rottenmeier")
13* TouristBump: The anime has drawn thousands of Japanese pilgrims to the Swiss Alps.
