FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Hitchcoc When they were growing up, my kids latched onto this film. They probably watched it thirty times. I could hear it in the background until the tunes were stuck in my head. It is a musical with songs that are not all that sophisticated. The story is simplistic. But it is for kids. Pippi is played by a young lady named Tami Erin. She does a decent job as the weird daughter of a sea captain that has arrived at an old house, along with a horse and a monkey. Of course, she gravitates toward the neighbor kids whose parents immediately see her as a bad influence. She is a child, living a world of rules and regulations. Soon the cold blooded authorities swoop in. It's all pretty formula but there are nice scenes and she does kind of sparkle.

rebeljenn 'The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking' is a film starring the popular Pippi, a fun-loving girl who tries to see the good in everything around her and have fun. It has been a long time since I saw this film, but I did like it when I was younger. It was not my favourite, but I thought that it was fun because Pippi is very enthusiastic about life and it is a generally feel-good children's film. I last watched this film when I was about eight-years-old. I think that children around that age will enjoy the film as it is upbeat but a generally good film about a fun-loving girl hero with a positive outlook on life.

perni Ah, another member of The 100 Worst club! At this point I've already seen Batman & Robin, Can't Stop the Music, Cool As Ice, Dungeons and Dragons, and about 10 more, so it's about time I saw another one. And trust me, Pippi Longstocking is pretty yucky. One of my friends loves it because she watched it constantly as a child, but I couldn't help but laugh at most of this movie. The special effects are very obvious, especially when anyone gets thrown great distances (uh, wire work, anyone?). And for some reason we're supposed to believe that Pippi is this magical child, but half of her 'magical' abilities are simple flips and cartwheels that any gymnast could pull off. But, I admit, few children could make a plane fly just by telling it to go up or pick up a grown man and hurl him into a tree. The songs are patently 80s, and stuck in my head for way too long (maybe because my friend knew them by heart and sung along!). Then there is the title character herself, who comes off less sympathetic as she does bratty and simple minded. She has the attention span of a knat, never listens to anyone and for some reason that makes her adorable? Uh, I'm gonna go with a "no" there, Alex. But for all its glaring faults, Pippi is not pure evil like some flicks I've watched (Dungeons & Dragons, anyone?). I got my revenge, though, because after we watched this I made my friend watch Can't Stop the Music from start to finish. Talk about your torture sessions! I give Pippi a respectable 1.5/4 stars.

TxMike I got this DVD from my local county library to help entertain my 8-year-old granddaughter Lauren. She loved it! She saw it twice. I asked her why she liked it so much and she said, "Pippi has so many adventures, and makes friends with everyone she meets, that's why the movie is so much fun to watch." Grandpa and grandma enjoyed it too, we laughed a number of times, especially with the talking horse and the talking monkey. But this is definitely for the smaller set, and it can only be rated in how well it entertains them.SPOILERS FOLLOW:Pippi and her dad sail the high seas, a storm knocks them all in the water, Pippi, the horse, and the monkey end up on a raft.
