Pippi Longstocking

Kids liked it. It seemed to stimulate their imaginations and their backsides.

A classic children's movie. I grew up watching it in the 80s and my daughter and sons all laughed the full length of the movie. They don't make good children's movies nowadays so go back in time and share this classic with your kids. Definitely worth the money.

Pippi Longstocking (1969) was released in late 1973 in the U.S., after being successful in Europe. The voices of the actors had to be dubbed over in English, which easily shows in the out of sync talking in relation to mouth movement. While mildly annoying, it doesn't take away from the movie itself, as this first installment is worthy of praise. Pippi and her new friends seek one adventure after another, and the overall tone is cheerful and the mischief is playful. I overlook the almost laughable special effects (such as when Pippi lifts her horse, or when she lofts her tormentor into a tree), because a movie like this doesn't need the best effects to be good, and the obvious fact that this movie was made in the late 1960's. Overall, this movie is fun, and recommended.

This was a sentimental purchase. Pippi was one of my favorite characters growing up in the 70’s and early 80’s, and in addition to the books, I was a proud owner of this movie, which I watched until the tape wore out. Aside from dressing up as Pippi for Halloween, including a coat hanger through the hair for upturned braids, I wanted to share my love for Pippi, Mr. Nielsen (the monkey) and Ville Villekula with my 8 year old daughters.After reading a Pippi book with the kids, I bought this classic 1969 version- this movie has been remade more than once, but I love this classic version- with cheesy cinematography and bad Swedish to English translation and all. I’m sure the remade versions are much better in terms of actual movie technique, etc, but this is the one I remember fondly. My girls ended up loving it too, and didn’t even notice the bad translation job and poor technical movie quality - it was 1969 after all! Considering the movie was filmed in Sweden and star Swedish actors, I’ve always felt this is a much more authentic version of the author’s Pippi.Great movie for sentimental parents to share with their kids!

A very well written and edited film, a very high quality DVD transfer, clear and crisp. I was surprised by the high quality of the film -- the effects and stunts never looked cheap but were well executed and edited.My 5 year old son is all about Pippi now that he has seen it. At first he was concerned that it was a "girl" movie, but now Pippi is his hero! ...and the movie kept my attention too. My mother was a Swedish immigrant and gave me a Pippi book in Swedish which she translated for me often. I do wish it included the original Swedish audio in this movie, but that is not important overall. Most excellent movie

This video by Inger Nilsson was everything I expected. I bought this along with a different version for my grandsons. I watched both versions along with them and discovered that our two year old, soon to be three loved this version over the other version purchased. And our five year old, soon to be six showed less interest in this version over the other. Therefore, I might suggest reviewing the different versions available while considering age group, personality and interest of the child. I love them both but found the characters of this version more fun.

I remember in the 1970's this movie would come on every Thanksgiving Day. While my mom was in the kitchen preparing the holiday meal us kids would be in front of the t.v. watching this show. I love watching this show. It brings back so many memories watching it now. I find myself watching more dvd's movies of shows from years ago then watching regular t.v. Movies now days just aren't up to par like they where years ago.

The words don't match up with what they characters are saying. It is like watching something that was poorly done in a foreign language. I am very disappointed in this. It says that it was digitally remastered. It is not very well done at all. I loved the movie growing up, but this is not a good copy. Don't waste your money.

My daughter was delighted: many thanks.

My daughter loves Pippi Longstocking and I love to reminisce when we watch it together! Pippi Longstocking is for every age.Possible languages are English and Spanish.But attention: If you do not have an American DVD-Player you have to tweak your DVD settings, that you are able to watch it.

Classic all around!!
