action
The 9-year-old Tommy Settergren and his one year younger sister Annika live in a small, nameless place in Sweden. The "Villa Kunterbunt" is located in the immediate vicinity. The siblings have to pass her every morning on the way to school and imagine what it would be like if a family with children moved in there. One day while the siblings are at school, a little girl with red hair rides up on her horse "Little Uncle". She and her monkey “Herr Nilsson” make their home in the “Villa Kunterbunt”.
Pippi becomes friends with Tommy and Annika. However, the adults do not like to see Pippi living alone. The educator Fräulein Prysselius, called "Prusseliese" by Pippi, organizes Pippi a place in the children's home and tries several times to bring her there. When she fails, she calls the police. But Pippi not only has a lot of nonsense in his head, but also supernatural powers - and so it turns out to be impossible for the police officers to forcibly bring Pippi to the children's home.
Pippi received a large suitcase with gold pieces from her father. She uses them to buy tons of sweets for the children from the city, and everyone can choose something at their own expense in the toy store. Of course, word gets around that Pippi has a lot of gold pieces, and so the tramps Blom and Donner-Karlsson also get wind of it. The two try several times to steal the gold case, but Pippi beats them every time.
After many pranks and adventures, Pippi's father, Captain Longstocking, returns to his daughter. Pippi wants to go on a long journey with him and his ship “ Hoppetosse ”. But that would mean that she would have to leave Tommy and Annika. And so she decides to stay in the small, nameless town and with her friends.
Reviews
"An unrivaled classic in children's films."
“Conflicts between children and adults are declined in an almost exemplary manner, albeit in a humorous way. The film not only illustrates the social struggles of the late 1960s, but can still serve today as an impetus for a closer study of timeless topics: emancipation from authorities, childlike self-determination, modern educational methods and the rebellion against questionable social rules and outdated traditions. "
"A lively children's film without a pedagogically raised index finger, but which also misses the poetry and humor of the original."
“Pippi's adventures were strung together in episodes and filmed without imagination. A colorful and amateurish film that makes no claim except perhaps to entertain as broad an audience as possible in an honest and cheap way (better: to be boring). "
“Almost all of us associate a piece of our childhood with Astrid Lindgren. And almost everyone has sat in front of the television on Boxing Day, to watch Pippi Longstocking, Michel von Lönneberga or the children from Bullerbü on their Christmas adventures. "
Differences to the book template
- The name part "Pfefferminza" used in the book was replaced by "Schokominza" in the television series and in the films.
- Pippi's horse is consistently without a name in the books. In the film Pippi out of control , Pippi once calls her horse with the Swedish nickname "lilla gubben", which translates as "little guy". In the German dubbed version it became “Little Onkel”, which has been the name of the horse in German-speaking countries ever since.
- There is no Mrs. Prysselius in the book in the form shown. There is, however, a teacher who insists on being addressed as Miss ; And there are also certain contacts with "Fräulein Rosenblom", who does something like a school visit in "Pippi in Taka-Tuka Land" at the school of Thomas and Annika. Fräulein Rosemblom is a school board member, health expert and nutritionist in one person.
- In the films is Mr. Nilsson , a squirrel monkey instead of a monkey .
Differences from the television series
Pippi Longstocking was created as a series in Sweden, but was initially released in the form of a feature film in Germany. For this purpose, individual episodes were cut into a film. The series only came to Germany two years later. Since the series contained more scenes than the films, a new dubbing was required. Andrea L'Arronge , who had dubbed Pippi in the films, was no longer available, so the cast had to be changed. Eva Mattes , the dubbing voice of Tommi in the films, took over the dubbing of Pippi in the series, while Tommi was spoken here by Sabine Plessner .
