Pippi Longstocking

[Forsaken Lover]

So my great grandmother, God bless her, let me see this movie way back when. It wa a cute little kids' film about a little girl with...well, magic powers. She could do whatever she wanted.

I haven't seen the movie since I was about 10 or so but I have neve forgotten this song.

Much to my surprise, I learned the Pippi I know was an American remake of some Swedish story. Some European people I've talked to online don't take too kindly to our Pippi...

I read the books when I was a kid.

Apparently there were a bunch of jokes and puns that didn't translate over very well so there were a lot of parts that went over my head. xD

I feel sad for everyone who didn't get to enjoy the original Pippi as a child!

I watched the cartoon. It was good, I liked it.

What?! There was a movie and a cartoon? I read the books as a kid though. Enjoyed the heck out of them.

I feel so cool for having seen the original.
