Trivia
This German-made compilation film was intended to be the ultimate film version of the Swedish Pippi Långstrump (1969) TV series (as it includes most of the series' key moments), but due to its phenomenal success at the West German box-office, and news of an original theatrical feature film (Pippi Långstrump på de sju haven (1970)) about to go into production in Sweden, Beta Film (the German co-producers of the Swedish TV series/movies, and the makers of this compilation film) quickly went to work on a second theatrical compilation film (Här kommer Pippi Långstrump (1969)) a few months later to cash in on the rising Pippi-Mania.

Goofs
When Pippi and shipmate flings the cake toppings onto the captains eyes. Pippi flung a red one first and the shipmate flung a white one second. But in the next shot the white one hit the captains eye first and the red one hit second.

a Most Fun pirate movie good for kids of all ages

No more likable character than a little red-headed girl who lives alone in a huge old house with her tons of pirate booty. Pippi and her friends Tommy and Anaka get swept away. Their usual activities plundering the local candy shop and in general being small town terrors fly out the door as Pippi gets a message in a bottle and must scramble to find action and adventure on the high seas fighting bad pirates. Pippi's supernatural abilities (high strength, and magic engineering skills) certainly place it in the "fantasy" genre, especially for young children.

Certainly a very good "pirate" movie, and one which is okay for children. Perhaps adults place it in the comedy genre but I personally think it is one of the best pirate movies available. Also see Treasure Island and Sinbad movies if you like this.

This trilogy of movies needs to be converted to DVD.
