Not pleased
posted on 31 Aug 2009Pippi Longstocking by Inger Nilsson, Maria Persson, Pär Sundberg
This movie was not what I was expecting. It is very obvious that this movie was originally done in another language & was "dubbed" in order to put it into english. Once I realized that I had ordered the wrong movie, I, of course, was unable to return it because it had been opened. I ended up ordering the one that I was originally seeking & I am very please with that one. My children watched the movie constantly as children & now, as adults, wanted to see it again, I purchased it as a surprise for them. They were happy when their "original" one arrived in the mail from Amazon. I would not recommend this one as a purchase.
Pippy is still great after all these years!
posted on 31 Aug 2009I remember watching Pippy Longstocking as a young girl and loving it. Now my 4 and 5 year old love her too. It is funny to realize that it is dubbed in English, didn't notice that as a child and my kids haven't noticed it either. My husband and I got a kick out of it the first time we watched it as adults. Doesn't take away from the movie.
Disappointed fan .....
posted on 31 Aug 2009When I discovered that there was a Pippi Longstocking movie with Inger Nilsson on DVD with Closed Captioned. I purchased this movie with excitement and looking forward to reliving the childhood memory. You see, back in the old days there were no subtittles or closed captioned avaliable during my childhood when I was watching this tomboy redhead with pigtails and freckles without any one telling me what she is saying or to her two buddies on TV. I was looking forward to learn what are the words that I have missed. To my greatest disappointment to find that this DVD movie was not closed captioned. I did report to Amazon about this to prevent any further deaf customers from experiencing the same disappointment as I have.
Although, this movie has much of the same orignal colors, and it has not change as if it was the same day that I saw as a kid. Still an enjoyable movie for any age from 5 to 100 years old. Inger was the only actor that I know that was perfect for the role of Pippi Longstocking. However, I have decided to keep this movie until there is a real DVD movie with closed captioned release in the future. I recommend that any of you should wait until they really have closed captioned on this wonderful movie.
Pippi Wormed Her Way Into My Heart.
posted on 31 Aug 2009Pippi Longstocking is every parent's nightmare. She is rude, manner less, uncouth, and loud. However, she is also full of soul, caring, generous, and loving. I have to give this movie two thumbs up for worming its way into my heart.
I watched this classic over and over as a child, and knew that I had to see it again. I didn't necessarily remember the voice overs the first time around. They are quite distracting, but I can understand why there were no subtitles.
Nonetheless, this DVD would be a great addition to any child's repertoire.
Pippi for the world
posted on 31 Aug 2009When I was little I loved the Pippi Longstocking movies (in Germany), now my kids love them. Since they're educated trilingual we have the series in German, Dutch and English. The truest one seems to be the German version (well, the movies were a German/Swedish production), the Dutch is pretty good too, although some of the voices are far too squeeky. The English version is well translated but edited a lot and even put together in another order! Still, Pippi rules. And a lot better than some Powerpuff girls or Little Ponies!
Entertaining for 3 & 5yr old
posted on 31 Aug 2009I bought this DVD thinking back to when I was a child and how much I enjoyed the video... it must have been a different one. Or at least I don't remember the voice over, as an adult it's distracting. My two children enjoyed it immensely though! I'm sure we'll be watching it over and over, well at least they will, the voice over bothers me.
It's Pippi, but I don't recall the sound track being off when I was a kid.
posted on 31 Aug 2009This is a great movie. My daughter 7, loves it. The sound track is really off and takes away from the movie.
