Pippi Långstrump på de sju haven

Very nice, nostalgic.. although I prefer the earlier movies more... (but maybe just because I saw them many times... The seven seas I never saw before..

I just want to agree with fedtho that people who votes an 6 or less must see the film from a miserable perspective. Cause here in this movie we have a really good person worthy of imitation. Pippi is more like an superhero for every children (without super mussels or rocket launchers). She also fights for the weakest of children.

Children needs a girl like Pippi who aren't perfect looking but just as perfect as she is created.

I wanted to see one of the 1970s Pippi Longstocking movies for a long time after reading a book that listed the clumsy and shoddy attributes of one of the series entries. First, I feel I should mention that I have never read any of the Astrid Lindgren "Pippi Longstocking" books, so I have no idea how closely this film adaptation follows the original text. However, I can say that the story as told by this movie unfolds in a truly clumsy fashion. There is a plot, but the way it unfolds is in a real meandering way, almost as if it were being made up as it was going along.

As for the other parts of the movie, well, they are clumsy and shoddy as well, with frequently poor production values and misguided direction. The awkward English dubbing certainly doesn't help.

Sounds like a bad movie lover's dream, right? Well, although the clumsy and shoddy nature of the movie does sometimes provoke some giggles, it isn't aggressive enough to be so bad it's funny. Adults will just find it awkward and incompetent. As for kids (YOUNG kids), they may not mind the poor quality of the entire enterprise, but I suspect they won't be clamouring their parents to watch it a second time.

This movie is very well-done, even with the limited special effects of the 70's. I mean, how often do you see a bed with a balloon tied to it flying through the air? Anyway, the special effects aren't the only thing good about it. It also has a pretty good plot, even if it stretches the book a little. If you've seen "Pippi On the Run" or "Pippi Longstocking" but not this, you probably think, "Meh, the series is OK, but not all that good." You're wrong. This is Inger Nilsson at her finest. She gets to beat up big bad pirates for a good portion of the movie. She especially seems to scare Jacque the Knife. I won't give anything else away. go out and see if you can find this movie at Blockbuster.

By far my favourite of the Pippi movies. Contains some of the greatest comic actors in Sweden - Martin Ljung and Jarl Borssén. And the most beloved "teddy bear" actor/comic/writer who was loved by all; Beppe Wolgers. He was just as good with kids as is implied by his hearty report with his "daughter" as Efraim Långstrump. And I love the songs.

Unfortunately all of the Astrid Lindgren movies/TV series suffers horribly from being co produced with Germany. Even the Swedish versions are dubbed as some actors are German/danish or whatever... And this shows now when you are an adult. It really don't change my love for them as they are a big part of our cultural heritage (Lindgren is still BIG :D). But to vote them down is kinda silly. Technically they are low budget -but what 70's films aren't? Even Star Wars was a low budget flick - but they changed the concept of FX totally.. :)
