Pippi Långstrump

This was, without a doubt, my favorite movie when I was a little kid. I haven't been able to get a hold of the other three yet but my family and I used to watch these all the time and seeing it today makes me long for those days of my childhood. I still get the same feeling I did as a kid and I would recommend this film to any family!

The child actors in this are awesome, they really bring the characters to life. The story is great and I'm sure you'll like it too if you've enjoyed the books. I thought that it was shot pretty well too and that the dubbing was done well. I've enjoyed everything about this film for years and will for years to come!

Pippi is a legendary children character from Sweden. It is nice to flash back and feel some old nostalgia..

When I was a kid, i used to play a lot with my friends and my sister. And i always was Pippi. I know all books about her and all movies. Actually i used to have red hair and many years I did act like i had been her. She was my idol for many many years.

Pippi is not very known in another countries, but in Sweden and in Finland she's one of the most known characters.

In Finnish she's Peppi Pitkätossu. And every single kid knows her. We just love her, all the books, all the stories, all the movies, all the TV-shows and cartoons. She's number 1 in Sweden and also in Finland.

If you ever have a change to watch Pippi, do it! Otherwise you're going miss a lot!

I saw this on TV back in 1976 on KTLA's Movie for a Saturday/Sunday Afternoon. Inger Nilsson shines in the role of Pippi Longstocking with her impish smile and bright eyes full of mirth and joy. The english dub is terrible but the voices still fit the characters. The special effects are extremely outdated but as a child yet spoiled by today's computer effects I found them amazing. Plus Star Wars was still a year away didn't hurt. The adventures of Pippi and her friends were lots of fun to watch.

No more likable character than a little red-headed girl who lives alone in a huge old house with her tons of pirate booty. Pippi and her friends Tommy and Anaka get swept away. Their usual activities plundering the local candy shop and in general being small town terrors fly out the door as Pippi gets a message in a bottle and must scramble to find action and adventure on the high seas fighting bad pirates. Pippi's supernatural abilities (high strength, and magic engineering skills) certainly place it in the "fantasy" genre, especially for young children.

Certainly a very good "pirate" movie, and one which is okay for children. Perhaps adults place it in the comedy genre but I personally think it is one of the best pirate movies available. Also see Treasure Island and Sinbad movies if you like this.

This trilogy of movies needs to be converted to DVD.
