Featured reviews
But for some reason the charchters has changed to the worse, ruining the entire show.
The crooks, are now a pair of idiots. The cops, are now a pair of idiots. Mrs Pruselius, is portraited as pure evil. The horse, a walking corpse. And Pippi, lacking the soul of what makes her to her.
Stay away from this show. Stay with the series from 1969.
You'll fall in love with this hilarious ginger of a tomboy from Astrid Lindgren's classic storybooks. You'll also be amazed at her crazy antics and what she can do, especially with her super human strength.
Nelvana International has brought many literary characters to life in animation, and Pippi is one of them. Pippi's animated movie is what I recommend along with the series, of course.
I can't recommend this to anyone. And I really mean anyone. Not for the fans of the book, not for fans of animation and not even in a way were it's bad it's good. No, it's so bad it's bad! Very, VERY bad!
Simply stay away from this piece of garbage. If you want to see Pippi Longstocking animated, stick to the animated TV-series. It's not a masterpiece, but it's better than this souless hour waster.
The stupid songs that underline this are atrocious, the animation is much flatter, the plots are recycled and it just goes nowhere! I don't think Gordon Pinsent or Catherine O'Hara were stupid enough to participate in this!!! My advice to you all is this: AVOID THIS TRASH ALL TOGETHER! How dare they butcher Astrid Lindgren's beloved red-headed character! Ever since I saw the movie, I can never watch the great animated TV show anymore! Thanks for nothing!

- TriviaThis was not the first time an animated adaptation of Astrid Lindgren's "Pippi Longstocking" books was ever attempted. In 1971, Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki and collaborator Isao Takahata had planned to produce a feature-length animated film, "Pippi Longstocking: The Strongest Girl in the World" ("Nagakutsushita no Pippi: Sekai Ichi Tsuyoi Onna no Ko"). The two men traveled to Sweden to do location scouting for production research, especially to the town of Visby, where Fifi Brindacier (1969) was filmed). They then had a meeting with creator Astrid Lindgren to discuss the project with her. Unfortunately, after their meeting, their rights were denied, and the project was canceled. Today, beautiful watercolored "image boards" (storyboards) are among all that remain of the aborted project.
- GoofsDuring the song "Pluttification", when the children lift Pippi in the air on the chair, her hair is dark brown instead of red.
- Quotes
Pippi Longstocking: Why am I walking backwards? It's a free country, isn't it? Anyway, for that matter, let me tell you that in Egypt, everybody walks backwards, and nobody thinks it's the least bit strange.
