Description:
The Swedish TV series used to make the poorly dubbed 1970s Pippi Longstocking movies is returned to the original episodic format here with new British-accented dubbing. The red-haired girl with the elevated braids moves into "the big house" next door to Tommy and Anna (as Annika is called here) in the inaugural episode and continues her nutty adventures with the demure siblings throughout five additional 26-minute programs. The kids get to know her pet monkey and fruit-munching horse, have dealings with the equally bumbling pairs of police and prison escapees, and eat as many sweets and break as many rules as innocent young children can dream. The dubbing is still a bit awkward here, but young kids will barely notice and the leisurely pace of the adventures is a welcome change from the frenzy of today's videos. One warning: In Episode 5, Pippi fires a shotgun into her ceiling. (Ages 3 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs
