Pippi Longstocking (Swedish Pippi Långstrump) is a fictional character in a series of children's books created by author Astrid Lindgren. She is a nine-year-old girl with red braids that stick out sideways. She is very unconventional, assertive, extraordinarily strong, and rich. She lives alone with a monkey and a horse in an old house. Her friends Tommy and Annika accompany her on her adventures. These children live with a complete lack of adult supervision, and they frequently mock and dupe the adults they do encounter; this certainly adds to the appeal these characters hold for their young readers. There are four Pippi Longstocking books: • 1944 Pippi Longstocking • 1946 Pippi Goes on Board • 1948 Pippi in the South Seas • 1959 Pippi's After Christmas Party A Swedish TV series was created based on the Pippi Longstocking books in the 1970s. Inger Nilsson gave a confident oddball performance that was uncommonly consistent and eccentric for a child actor. The Swedish series was re-edited as 4 poorly-dubbed feature films* for US distribution. They became weekend television staples* in several cities in America throughout the 1970s and 80s. The original series, newly dubbed using British actors, became available in 2002. A feature film version was released in 1988, ironically titled "The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking" (while the title suggests a continuation, it is in fact, a remake of the original story). A remake as an animation series was released in 1997. |
