I grew up with the american version of Pippi Longstocking. It was a classic when I was young and used to watch it ever time is ran on TV. I looked for the DVD set to come out for years in the stores and never came across it. I have 4 daughters that I would tell about the Pippi I watched when I was their age. I decided to search for it on the internet and came across it on ebay. So I baught it. Even though the series originally ran over seas and they had to incorporate the English language into the movie and the lips don't match the words it is still a long time favorite of mine. I wanted my girls to have the opportunity to expierence the classic we all loved when we were kids. When I tell people that I bought the set I am amazed as to how many people remember the series. It's an all time favorite and will continue to enjoy it. I decided to buy it simply because it was a childhood favorite of mine and knew that my girls would never have to chance to enjoy it like it did because the haven't ran the series on tv in 15 years. So now they get to watch it when ever and wherever. It still makes me laugh and keeps me watching.Read full review
Growing up with my little brother I remember watching this little girl with firey red hair who's ponytails stuck straight out and who could beat up men, had a monkey and a spotted horse....not to mention a huge bag of gold coins, and had all sorts of crazy missadventures with her two friends Tommy and Annika. (When I was a kid I had a crush on Annika.) Well just wanted to say that these movies were a glimpse back to my childhood and what a great collection they are. My kids are gonna love them.
These videos were NOT found anywhere and I have been searching for YEARS. My niece is 25 years old and my nephew 24 years old and I had the 2 kids every weekend growing up and had to rent the VHS tapes from the library every weekend, unless they were (GASP)checked out by someone else. I couldn't wait to give the Collection to them and now they love it so much, but fight about who gets to have which two videos, I am FORCED to purchase another set. I am so personally pleased that our happy times together watching these innocuous kiddie flicks had a profound and happy impression on them in their adult lives with their own children reaching an age to enjoy the same shows. What a wonderful gift Ebay has given us to pass on good memories to three generations of family. I am actually in tears writing this because I didn't think they noticed the effort it took me each week to get one or more of these films. Wow, they noticed! They loved it! Thank you so much for everything. They are truly fabulous and even though the stories are dated, the messages are not.Read full review
My family absolutely loves the Pippy Longstocking Series. I grew up watching these movies when I was young and wanted to share them with my four children (ranging in age from 13 to 6), so I bought the collection. So many wonderful memories were brought back. Now, I can't get my children to stop watching them. Pippy epitimizes how every child wishes they could be (strong, no school, free spirited), but at the same time demonstrates what a giving person is like. She does so many crazy things that leave my children in astonishment. My six-year-old walks around the house singing the theme song, "I am Pippy Longstocking, if you say my name, it's funny. Pippy, Pippy Longstocking, how I love my happy name." Each movie actually has different wording for the theme song & he's learned them all. I highly recommend this series to any family or single person who is young at heart. I guarantee you will laugh at and enjoy the talented actress that played Pippy Longstocking. Happy viewing!Read full review
