Heidi (European Portuguese, RTP)

This dub is based on the original Japanese version. Of the several European Portuguese subs produced in Portugal, this was the only one produced for broadcast on television, to be broadcast on RTP's 'I Programa' channel (currently: RTP1). Only half of the episodes were dubbed, specifically 26, because I Programa had initially released a subtitled version, with the first chapters purchased, but given the success of the anime , also directed by Isao Takahata ( known in Portugal, and in several countries as "Marco"), RTP produced a dubbing of the second pack of episodes, which debuted on Portuguese TV in 1977.

Trivia

 * This dub, like the other 4 produced, were exclusive to the company that produced them, and there was not a single version as such, so every time the series was released in home format (whether on VHS or later, on DVD), a redub was performed. This dub was never broadcast on any other television channel than RTP2, and was never released on video.
 * As in the Spanish dubs, Peter's name is adapted as Pedro, which is the most common form of the name in both languages. Other adaptations consider the names in the original German of the book, such as Fräulein Rottenmeier. An important detail to note is that, in consideration of the detail immediately above, this dub could not be based on the German dub, since it was produced and released the same year.
 * Unlike the Brazilian version, Heidi's Grandpa is called 'Avô', the Portuguese language word for grandfather. In Brazil, he is called 'Vovô', which is an affectionate way of calling a grandfather, this is the same as the Latin American Spanish version, where he is called 'Abuelito', which is also an affectionate way of calling him. This detail show that the Brazilian and Portuguese versions have certainly been influenced by the Mexican and Spanish dubs, respectively.
 * All the details mentioned above apply to all Heidi's European Portuguese Dubs.
