Pippi Longstocking: Adventures on the South Seas
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Don't confuse this new animated version with the late-'60s, early-'70s Pippi-fests starring the ultimate Pip-ster, Inger Nilsson (who starred in three Swedish Pippi films as well as a Pippi TV series). Nilsson's version of Pippi in the South Seas was highlighted by all the trademarks of Pippi, those stand-up braids, those striped tops, but mostly the very bad and obvious dubbing into English. One-film actress Tami Erin took over for the 1988 American version, generally panned for being even worse (if that's possible) than the Swedish versions. But this new Pippi, an animated sequel to Pippi Longstocking and from HBO, fares much better than her predecessors.
Pippi's quirky life and lifestyle lend themselves well to animation. Rather than being truly odd (in Nilsson's versions) or downright bratty (as Erin portrayed her), Pippi is a lively, thoughtful imp who sets sail to the South Seas with a ship's captain, who's revealed to be her father. She finds herself up against pirates and poachers, but her pluck, vigor, and loyalty prevail. (Ages 3 and up) --N.F. Mendoza
