Heidi, the titular Swiss heroine of Johanna Spyri's 1881 book, appears in the Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures segment "Mountain Climbers." She hears Bert's cry for help and rushes to his aide.
Heidi is Bert's favorite fictional character and he is depicted as having a crush on her (complete with classic cartoon hearts). He's slightly less enamored of her goat. She and her goat later re-appear in the "Mechanics" and "Dog Walkers" episodes.
