Movie Reviews of The Pippi Longstocking Collection (Pippi Longstocking / Pippi Goes on Board / Pippi in the South Seas / Pippi on the Run)
Movie Review: OH MY GOSH!!!! This is IT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! this is the 4 box DVD set that I have been looking for!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
I was swayed a little and confused by the reviews that people left here about the 4 DVD Pipi Collection vs the TV Series DVD so I bought both the 4 DVD set & the TV series DVD to be sure that I was getting what I was looking for and to hopefully leave a more clearer review. When looking for this I also discovered that many people have there own generation of the Pippi that was theirs.
I was looking for the one from when I was a little youth born in 1975 and grew up on Vancouver Island and enjoyed Pipi most of my life. I wanted to bring back those "oh so dear to my heart" childhood memories of Pipi... and this is IT!!!! This is the boxed set you are looking for if your memories are from around the dates of my childhood neck of the woods.
The "TV Series DVD" to me was disappointing. They did change Annika to Anna and the children were not as joyful in the dubbing and the dialogue is certainly different. You are watching the same images but, you do get another storyline perspective of Pipi. As well, the images are pieced together differently to produce a different story that way too.
One Example:
4 DVD Box set
When Tommy and Annika come to give Pippi the candy box she gives them gifts too. A Harmonica and a ball.
TV Series DVD
Pipi is looking for her bag of gold gives Tommy a pocket knife (which kinda shocked me) and Annika a hair comb, I think it was.
You do learn different things about Pippi that you would not have otherwise known from the TV Series DVD as opposed to the box set, but it's nothing necessary to know, it is not money needed to be spent...unless you have it to spend and would like to give it a try. But honestly, the TV series DVD has been viewed once and is collecting dust on my shelf and does not have the same joy to me as the one I grew up with.
The 4 DVD Boxed set is definately the English dubbed Pipi I remember in all it's Glory!!! Right down to the infectious roarous children's' laughter of Annika and Tommy with Pippi and Pipi's lovable, "flirt with danger" "bold, sly, cheeky, happy voice of "who me? innoncence" to the nostalgic soundtrack scratch (that I guess is what could be what is being misinterpreted as smoking voices) *shrug* I do think though that Pipi's big burley papa could have sounded this way, I guess...but, I just thought that it was cuz he was her big strong " Captain of the South Seas" papa *GRIN*
This Pippi was definately the Pippi that every child in my time wanted to be with or even BE! Hope this helps! And if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask I will help you if I can. Joy to you and YOUR Pipi memories *smile*
