I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

A Masterpiece!

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

I'm a 59 yr old man who watched this movie with his grandkids. We all enjoyed it immensely.It had everything it should have for a movie that was based on fantastic events. A little girl who had super natural powers, a sea captain ( her father) who was the king of a cannibal tribe, a horse who to some extent could talk, at least well enough that Pipi could umderstand him.There was also a flying motorcycle, and a flying machine that Pipi powered by twirling around with a broom.I wouldn't have enjoyed it near as much, had my grand kids not been there to ooh, ahh, and giggle, at what was taking place. It was a very enjoyable movie, and well worth spending my time watching. If you have kids to watch it with, it will be that much more enjoyable.

Ah, another member of The 100 Worst club! At this point I've already seen Batman & Robin, Can't Stop the Music, Cool As Ice, Dungeons and Dragons, and about 10 more, so it's about time I saw another one. And trust me, Pippi Longstocking is pretty yucky. One of my friends loves it because she watched it constantly as a child, but I couldn't help but laugh at most of this movie. The special effects are very obvious, especially when anyone gets thrown great distances (uh, wire work, anyone?). And for some reason we're supposed to believe that Pippi is this magical child, but half of her 'magical' abilities are simple flips and cartwheels that any gymnast could pull off. But, I admit, few children could make a plane fly just by telling it to go up or pick up a grown man and hurl him into a tree. The songs are patently 80s, and stuck in my head for way too long (maybe because my friend knew them by heart and sung along!). Then there is the title character herself, who comes off less sympathetic as she does bratty and simple minded. She has the attention span of a knat, never listens to anyone and for some reason that makes her adorable? Uh, I'm gonna go with a "no" there, Alex. But for all its glaring faults, Pippi is not pure evil like some flicks I've watched (Dungeons & Dragons, anyone?). I got my revenge, though, because after we watched this I made my friend watch Can't Stop the Music from start to finish. Talk about your torture sessions! I give Pippi a respectable 1.5/4 stars.

I got this DVD from my local county library to help entertain my 8-year-old granddaughter Lauren. She loved it! She saw it twice. I asked her why she liked it so much and she said, "Pippi has so many adventures, and makes friends with everyone she meets, that's why the movie is so much fun to watch." Grandpa and grandma enjoyed it too, we laughed a number of times, especially with the talking horse and the talking monkey. But this is definitely for the smaller set, and it can only be rated in how well it entertains them.SPOILERS FOLLOW:Pippi and her dad sail the high seas, a storm knocks them all in the water, Pippi, the horse, and the monkey end up on a raft. Then they are at home, alone, the local social worker tries to get her in school. Pippi makes friends with the family next door, some crooks try to buy the house and steal the gold in Pippi's cellar, she saves two small kids from the burning orphanage, she buys ice cream and candy bars for all the kids waiting to get haircuts, finally sends a note in a bottle to get her dad home, he shows up for Christmas, they start to sail away afterward, Pippi and horse jump in the water, she stays behind with her new friends.

Just finished watching Jewel of the Nile and before I could shut off the TV and go to bed at a semi-reasonable hour, Pippi came on. Somehow, I got sucked into the movie and now over here to IMDB. Maybe it was the catchy tunes or wanting to find out if the cute kids in the movie ever went on to star in anything noteworthy (none did, except the head girl who I didn't like).I'm in my 30s, have no kids, and have never read the books or seen any other Pippi books. Guess what? I enjoyed it a lot! Sure. It's goofy, doesn't always make sense, is anachronistic at times, and is not serious cinematography. But I liked it.The music was cheerful, the songs were uplifting and arguably one of the best parts of the movie. The kids were great, too. It's sad that the actress playing Pippi didn't go on to do more work (especially if it had been more age-appropriate... hard to imagine she was only 10). She did a really fine job. I also got a kick out of seeing Dick Van Patten in his bit part.The monkey was probably the worst actor in the film, but since they probably paid him peanuts (and bananas), they probably didn't waste any money.The flying machine was totally unrealistic, but it IS a kids movie. The cleaning of the floors was probably the best scene in the movie.It was just good clean fun that I would be happy to let my kids watch (if I had any), and the songs are WAY better than Barney's. :-) People who object to the film have just left their childhood senses of wonder long behind. They don't believe Pippi when she says that you can do just about anything if you believe in it.
