Junior S @RT39899143 Jul 26, 2026 Director Ken Annakin is the platonic ideal of competence, and with The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking, he barely manifests this competence. With the exception of Dennis Dugan, the acting is almost universally bad; many times you can catch characters with blank stares and anemic movements. Annakin bizarrely indulges his longstanding obsession with novelty flying machines with a whole subplot involving one. Many of the sets and set pieces are wholly cheap, notably the outcropped rocks in a river. The fire chief’s facial expressions look constipated. The Swedish Pippi productions of nearly two decades before this movie somehow contain a better eye for framing and engage the viewer’s imagination more thoroughly than this Ill-conceived mess. The soundtrack isn’t bad though. See more

John U @Wolfiegang Dec 29, 2025 This film is treasure chest for a child’s imagination. At least it was for me. Maybe adults who see this for the first time cannot connect to it? But seeing this as a kid inspired so many ideas and feelings that brought pure joy to my upbringing. It felt like having the coolest and most interesting best friend a child could meet. It was rebellious fun that always had a deeper lesson to value. While kids dream to live in a world without rules, the importance of family, manners and education shine through. It dares kids to dream, imagine and explore. I admit the adults are made out to be pretty ridiculous. Most kids content does. However, the film tackles very dark and real themes which Pippi propels through with bravery and innocence. The film is timeless and the songs will have kids hooked after the first watch. Knowing this film and how it affected me, I would feel robbed of its treasures had I never been exposed to it. See more

Star_Skaterr T @RT26598116 Dec 14, 2024 Once again the "official" critics prove they're everything but. You can't deny that this movie is entertaining in such a nostalgic way. It's got it's flaws, sure, but the story is truly inspiring-- inspiring kids to follow their dreams, like a 1988 kid's movie SHOULD do. Great memories to be remembered forever. Worth a few watches for sure. See more

Narwhalius E @RT52457524 Jan 25, 2024 This movie was my childhood. The theme song still gets stuck in my head. Show it to your children and they will probably be entertained. Go fight win! See more
