Movie Reviews of The Pippi Longstocking Collection (Pippi Longstocking / Pippi Goes on Board / Pippi in the South Seas / Pippi on the Run)
Movie Review: A flash back to the past!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome surprise to find the original Pippi Longstocking movies on Amazon! I was even more surprised to find that there is a TV series with the same actors. It's been so long since I've watched the first Pippi Longstocking movie and I've never watched the other three Pippi Longstocking sequels. The last time I watched the Pippi Longstocking movie was on a local VHF station long before the Fox network took over the ownership of that station. Getting all four of these movies bundled together in one set is very rare let alone trying to find even just the original Pippi Longstocking movie. This is one collection I'm definately adding to my DVD library! Movie Review: Just as I remember...except in colour (we had a b&w TV)!
Summary: 5 Stars
The review below by 'B. Schafer "miniquins"' calmed my fears that this box set was, in fact, the Pippi Longstocking I waited with baited breath to watch every year (until the TV world decided we didn't want to watch it anymore). I wanted to *be* Pippi! To make HUGE gingerbread cookies on the kitchen floor and 'run away' on my horse! I *loved* Pippi and when they stopped playing it on TV, as a child, a part of me died..."no Pippi this year?", what were they thinking?
As an adult in year 2007, of course, I just threw money at it and bought the set! LOVE IT! It is just as I remembered...except in colour. I guess we only had the black and white TV back then!
If you are American and grew up with the poorly dubbed version...this is the one for you!

My daughters and now my grand daughters enjoy the timeless Pippi Longstockings. The collection is excellent.Movie Review: Scandinavian Children's Classics
Summary: 3 Stars
Pippi Longstocking is the most famous Scandinavian children's story, worldwide. A cousin recently bought the book for my girls, and they were delighted with the story, so I fished around for these movies which I remembered from my childhood.
My kids loved them! Now... On virtually every technical level (acting, narrative, photography) these movies leave much to be desired. They were made in the 1970's in Sweden. The English dubbing is pretty bad. However, every child that I've ever known to watch these films was enamored with them. Re-watchability is high, and the four-pack is a good deal.
Who is Pippi? She's a super-strong red-headed girl with pig tails that stick straight to the side about a foot. She is around 8 years old. She lives in a big house with a horse and a monkey. She has no parents or siblings, and spends her days inventing silly games and doing household chores in a fun ways. Although absent, her father is a pirate and king of a small island, so Pippi always has a big bag full of gold coins to buy anything she needs.
Movie Review: Great

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son, because I loved Pipi when I was young. He loves it, I think because of all the pirates, but also the kids and the things they do! I love watching it with him. I didn't realize it was a show, I just saw the movie they made out of pieces of the shows, so I get to see lot's of new stuff, new to me anyway, that I never saw before, plus the movie I loved when I was a kid. I am very glad I bought it.
