Trivia

This German-made compilation film was intended to be the ultimate film version of the Swedish Pippi Långstrump (1969) TV series (as it includes most of the series' key moments), but due to its phenomenal success at the West German box-office, and news of an original theatrical feature film (Pippi Långstrump på de sju haven (1970)) about to go into production in Sweden, Beta Film (the German co-producers of the Swedish TV series/movies, and the makers of this compilation film) quickly went to work on a second theatrical compilation film (Här kommer Pippi Långstrump (1969)) a few months later to cash in on the rising Pippi-Mania.

This film was released to German theaters a mere 6 days after the TV series had finished its original run in Sweden. But audiences in Germany got a better deal: They were the first ones to see it in color! The color-produced TV series had been broadcast in black & white (as Sweden did not broadcast color television until a year later).

This film is a West German-produced theatrical compilation film of the 1969 Swedish TV series Pippi Långstrump (1969). See its Trivia section for more information on the TV series itself.

Pippi Longstocking's horse is a Knappstrupper.

Produced while the Swedish TV series was in post-production.
