action
Shortly after moving into Villa Kunterbunt, the girl Pippi Longstocking befriends the neighbors Tommy and Annika, but also has to deal with thieves Dunder-Karlsson and Blom, who are after Pippi's gold coin treasure.
Pippi experiences the next adventures at school, which she only goes to because she also wants to experience holidays like Tommy and Annika (in contrast to the original, Pippi is not encouraged to go to school by the Christmas holidays, but by the summer holidays).
In this version of the film, Pippi uses the opportunity in a record store to subject the sound carriers offered in the store to a stress test in order to find out whether they live up to their name (colloquially in Sweden shellac records in particular are called stenkakor - "stone cookies").
One day Pippi receives a visit from her father, Captain Longstocking, who has just sailed the Seven Seas. Pippi and her father set sail with Tommy and Annika.
reception
The film is rarely shown today compared to the later adaptations of the books. Lindgren refused the film because Gunvall added scenes (including racist) that were inconsistent.
Film analysis
Compared to the novels and the later films, Pippi is less rebellious and in more scenes connected to the bourgeoisie, which she actually rejects. For example, she buys a piano to beautify Villa Kunterbunt.
