Astrid Lindgrens Pippi Langstrumpf

The Pippi Longstocking animated series is sort of a reboot of her animated movie, but there are more adventures to join Pippi and her friends on. Join Pippi, Mr. Nilsson (her monkey), Tommy and Annika, and her horse named Horse as they sail the sea, fly in a balloon, and go on other great adventures. You also get the chance to see Pippi outwit the two crooks, Thunder Karlson and Bloom, out of stealing Pippi's chest of gold coins.

If you like reading Astrid Lindgren's classic stories of this funny redheaded, pigtailed, freckled-faced nine-year-old, you'll enjoy watching Pippi's adventures come to life in this delightful series which I recommend with the animated movie.

I remember as a younger male, the show hadn't much appeal- it was about some girl, there didn't seem to be explosions, etc. But i've been watching it lately and it is brilliant. Pippi Longstocking has a great absurdish, cheerful, wonderful way about herself, insulting fogey town council people and disregarding rules etc. The starting theme song is awesome if you imagine it with enough energy and enough pirates or whatever you need- the initial 'What shall we do today?' is answered with a chorus of 'WHAT SHALL WE DO TODAY', its so full of energy and awesomeness.

I recommend watching it again to everybody, and do it in the right mood for adventure and wonderfulness.
