Have you ever watched a movie and got absolutely nothing out of it? That was my experience when I watched the 1997 animated feature, Pippi Longstocking. In this review, I’ll be experiencing this adaptation of Astrid Lindgren’s classic character that I haven’t seen since I was a Canadian kid in the 1990s watching Teletoon and rediscover why I didn’t have a lot of memories about what happened in either the film or the series that followed afterwards. It’s the kind of movie that belongs in a children’s home.

Oh no… I already have a bad feeling with what you’re going to review next. Spoiler: It won’t be a better experience than Pippi Lockingstocking.

As for my thoughts on Pippi, I’ve only seen a few episodes on the defunct cartoon channel block Qubo and even I never got into the series that much. I was more into other Canadian cartoons based on books like Arthur, The Magic School Bus, Little Bear, Franklin, Babar and Rupert. And watching this review, I also can see why I never got into that show. Pippi just sounds too much like a Mary Sue and I think we all know how that character archetype is frowned upon. At least with SpongeBob, he was capable of expressing different emotions and having his moments of getting angry and sad and facing conflict. He was more dimensional than Pippi than just being optimistic. I think I find the villain Miss Prysselius more interesting because at least she has some personality. Also had no idea Catherine O’Hara voiced her. Really shows her range as a voice actress. May she rest in peace. And Tim Curry too.

Yeah. That’s not Fritz the Cat. I may not have seen the film, but I don’t remember there being a suitcase involved, let alone a magic one.

I have heard of Pippi Longstocking as a kid, but the most I remember of her was one of the promos for her show. I think I have seen the show, but I remember next ot nothing about it. Anyway, it looks like Felix the Cat: The Movie is next, and I'm counting on that one being much better than this one, or better at all.

Woah... that is just... sad. Like really sad. Not only just to know that the film wasn't good at all, but mainly all the potential given just diminished alongside with it. I haven't seen it, but I do like that character design and really gives the best ideas what can be given to illustrate the storytelling, and honestly it looks better then that weird live action film I saw on VHS. Such a shame! All I can say at least the artistry is amazing I'll give it that!

I once loved this series, but I can definitely say that this show has aged POORLY. But all in all, the theme song is one that will get stuck in your ears for years, and the show itself was fun. I think there's a reason why the movie was hardly every shown on Teletoon.....

Hunter O'Laughlin

I’ve seen a review of the film and sadly, it isn’t.

Then again, it’s Nelvana. You can count on them to provide quality animation even if their films are mediocre as the Care Bears movies have shown.

Lady Helen Bio Rodriguez

Wow I watched the review and already forgot everything. This is some Whootie and the Blowfish level meh.

Alan Oliva

Well, maybe not 100%, I love their works and childhood classic shows, but I wouldn't really cater especially to their Star Wars works.

Hunter O'Laughlin

Trust me, things are about to get worse with the Felix the Cat movie.

Tom Jackson

Thank you very much for reviewing this movie, my friend.

Justin Grant

Oi, maybe the animation will get a slighty higher rating, but what about the other categories? I wish he would post that review as soon as possible so I can find out what the next Patreon request will be.
