Peter (Heidi's Song)

Peter is the tritagonist of Hanna-Barbera's musical film Heidi's Song. He is a preteen boy who is friends with the usual titular heroine Heidi and herds goats.
Peter is voiced by a then-18-year-old Roger DeWitt, Jr.
A heroic role this Peter plays is when he rallies his animal friends to ride with him to Frankfurt to rescue Heidi from a rat-infested cellar at the Sesseman house.
== Peter's Role in the Film ==
When Heidi and Peter first meet, Peter teaches Heidi about goats.
When Heidi, Peter, and a black goat kid named Spritz hang out together throughout the wilderness, Heidi reveals to Peter that her grandfather had given Spritz to her, but Peter doesn't believe it, and no more does he when Spritz bleats in agreement. For this, Heidi brings Peter to her grandfather and asks the latter. Grandfather confirms that what Heidi had said was true.
When Heidi is taken away much to Peter's longing, he has to work for Grandfather, whose heart is rehardened by Heidi's absence.
Peter is motivated to heroism when a white owl reveals how Heidi is locked away in the Sessemans' basement by their housekeepers Fraulein Rottenmeier and Sebastian. He motivates the rest of the animals to join him in a rescue party for Heidi. By musical number, Peter uses a bicycle and hooks it up to a wagon. He rides the former, and he has the animals ride on the latter as they ride into the city to the Sessemans' basement, and they battle the rats. They also take Heidi and, for some good health, Klara Sesseman, to the Alps.
Peter is voiced throughout the film by the then-18-year-old Roger DeWitt, Jr.
