Pippi Longstocking	comment	Pippi Longstocking (or Pippi LÃ¥ngstrump) began as a series of children's books by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. They have since been adapted into multiple films and television series. The series is regarded as a classic of Swedish literature and the character has become a cultural icon.The stories all revolve around the adventures of the eccentric young heroine Pippi. Her mother died when she was just a baby, so her sailor father, Captain Efraim Longstocking, raised her as he travelled the world on the seas. When he was blown overboard in a storm Pippi was convinced that her father had survived and would one day come looking for her, so she moved into an old house note Captain Longstocking had previously purchased as a retirement cottage (called Villa Villekulla) in a little Swedish village to wait for him. Besides a pet monkey named Mr Nilsson and a horse named nothing at all, Pippi lives alone, takes care of herself and keeps a suitcase full of gold pieces to pay for anything she might need. She quickly befriends her neighbors Tommy and Annika, who are both very normal kids in a very normal family. Pippi herself is highly unconventional, assertive, and inhumanly strong, quite able to lift her horse one-handed without difficulty. She can also be instantly recognized by her distinctive red braids that stick straight out on either side of her head.At first Pippi's adventures are confined to the town she lives in and include her rescuing other kids from trouble, clashing with adults who underestimate her, and generally doing whatever she pleases with no regard for social norms. She later travels with her friends to the tropical island where her father rules as king, having more exotic adventures there before returning home. By the end of the series pretty much everyone in the town comes to accept Pippi the way she is and nobody bothers to make her do anything she doesn't want to. This is okay because although she refuses to go to school or be put in an orphanage, and behaves very badly at times, Pippi is a good kid who really just wants to have fun.The Pippi Longstocking books have been adapted for TV and cinema several times, the first being in 1949. The adaptation that is probably most widely known is the 1969 TV series (a Swedish-West German co-production) written by Lindgren herself and starring Inger Nilsson as the titular character, which was also re-edited into four feature films. There is also an American live-action film from 1988 (produced by Columbia Pictures and starring Tami Erin) and a Canadian-German-Swedish animated adaptation (co-produced by Nelvana and starring Melissa Altro) from 1997.

Pippi Longstocking / int_113480b7	type	Canon Foreigner
Pippi Longstocking / int_113480b7	comment	Canon Foreigner: Mrs. Prysselius doesn't appear in the original books, but after her introduction in the 1969 Swedish TV series has been in every later adaptation. She is pretty much an amalgamation of all the concerned women from the books who disapproved of Pippi living alone, given a name and a much larger role.

Pippi Longstocking / int_11ad560b	type	Control Freak
Pippi Longstocking / int_11ad560b	comment	Mrs. Prysselius in the 1997 animated film. The original Prysselius from the 1969 TV series was not an antagonist; she was extremely silly, slightly annoying and completely incapable of seeing the value of anything non-conventional, but she was always well-meaning and genuinely wanted what was best for Pippi. The animated version, while still not much of a villain, is a lot more openly antagonistic and borders on being a Control Freak; her goal seems to be to get Pippi (and, really everyone else) to behave and conform and do as she's told, and is prepared to employ some rather dubious methods in order to reach her goals. In the follow-up series, however, she is more a of an occasional nuisance in the form of a moral busybody at worst, a far cry from hiring a pair of criminals and outright kidnapping in the film.

They try to act nice to convince Matilda that both of them reformed but, once her doctor says she'll likely live for the next 30 years, they give up.

Pippi Longstocking / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: Mrs. Prysselius in the 1997 animated film. The original Prysselius from the 1969 TV series was not an antagonist; she was extremely silly, slightly annoying and completely incapable of seeing the value of anything non-conventional, but she was always well-meaning and genuinely wanted what was best for Pippi. The animated version, while still not much of a villain, is a lot more openly antagonistic and borders on being a Control Freak; her goal seems to be to get Pippi (and, really everyone else) to behave and conform and do as she's told, and is prepared to employ some rather dubious methods in order to reach her goals. In the follow-up series, however, she is more a of an occasional nuisance in the form of a moral busybody at worst, a far cry from hiring a pair of criminals and outright kidnapping in the film. Likewise, Tommy and Annika's father in the 1988 film takes on a more antagonistic role. In all other incarnations he's a fairly minor character who seldom appears but doesn't seem to have any problems with Pippi. In New Adventures, played by Dennis Dugan, he's a parody of the Standard '50s Father who is a Nervous Wreck and disapproves of Pippi's free spirit and lets himself be tricked by the villains into taking an active role in getting her into the local orphanage as soon as possible. Subverted for Bengt the bully in the 1997 TV series, Bengt is still a bully in the animated TV series, but he might be a bigger menace than his past incarnations. Past incarnations of Bengt were usually just limited to annoying, making fun of, and bothering potential victims, but Bengt in the 1997 TV series is not above being a sore loser and planning a sabotage against Pippi during a ski race (teaming up with the Jerkass, misogynistic registrar- who thinks little girls can't ski and refuses to register Pippi into the race - to delay Pippi and when that fails, he resorts to attempting to bury Pippi in an avalanche).

Pippi Longstocking / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: The 1997 animated film and its accompanying TV series often tread into this (courtesy of their Ambiguous Time Period setting), but Blom and Dunder-Karlsson's (or Bloom and Thunder-Karlsson in the 90s iterations) "I Want" Song "A Bowler and a New Gold Tooth" from the 1997 film in particular stands out as an example of this. During the number, there's even a brief shot with Thunder-Karlsson (in his and Bloom's fantasy, but still) dressed as a Manhattan hobo from The '80s. As imagined by a fairly dim-witted criminal most likely having spent his entire life living in a quaint 1940s-style village.

Pippi Longstocking / int_2796448d	comment	Rules of Orphan Economics: Type 1 for Pippi. It's nice to have a bottomless suitcase full of gold coins, isn't it? In the 1969 TV series she does at one point run out of money, conveniently at the time when her long-lost (and rich) father comes to find her, turning it into a Type 2 situation. This is based on the tail end of the book Pippi Goes on Board, where as the Hoptoad pulls away from the dock her dad throws her a new suitcase full of money. It lands in the water, but she jumps in and retrieves it... but unlike the TV series, the book never states whether Pippi had actually run out of money before that.

Pippi Longstocking / int_3338a4c2	comment	Hair-Trigger Avalanche: In the 1997 TV series episode, "Pippi Enters the Big Race", Pippi enters a ski race as a representative of her village and despite some blatant delays from the Jerkass, misogynistic registrar, she quickly catches up to second place, but Bengt the bully- who is envious of Pippi being the representative (and also helped the registrar delay Pippi)- isn't happy and gets the idea to cause an avalanche, hoping that Pippi would get buried by it. After finding an ideal spot to cause an avalanche and sarcastically commenting that causing an avalanche would be a shame, Bengt lets the lead skier go through and when Pippi comes by, he blows into a trumpet, only for the sound come out muffled, Bengt sees that Pippi is almost through and tries again, but with the same result. As Pippi makes it across, Bengt looks inside the trumpet, sees that it's been clogged with one of Mr. Nilsson's bananas, and screams, triggering the avalanche he wanted, only that the avalanche threatens to bury ''him'' and not Pippi. And as a double whammy, Bengt commented earlier that not even Pippi could ski through an avalanche, but a later episode, "Pippi Finds a Mysterious Footprint", would show that Pippi can in fact ski through an avalanche, even briefly riding on top of it as if she was surfing on a wave.

Gloriously subverted in the climax, when Pippi rides a broomstick like a witch, and Tommy and Annika once again point out that this is impossible — but then Pippi cries "It's not impossible to me! I can do everything!" and continues her triumphant flight. (In the American dub, her line is: "You may know that the broom can't fly, but the broom doesn't know it!", making it a straighter example of the trope.)

Pippi Longstocking / int_5a40d6a	comment	Adaptation Distillation: The 1969 Swedish TV series and its related films take everything that was good about the books and crank it up to eleven, while removing just about everything that didn't work or was just pointless filler, resulting in a much tighter story structure that still left room for a fair amount of the spontaneous wackiness and surreal dialogue that are Pippi's trademarks. It's helped tremendously by tight scriptwriting and good actors (Inger Nilsson in the title role being the most prominent example). Lindgren herself was highly involved with this particular production, which explains why it's so much closer to the spirit of the books than its many successors.

Pippi Longstocking / int_83a903f6	comment	Stepford Smiler: Well, sort of. While there's no doubt that on the whole, Pippi is genuinely happy, there are the occasional, usually very subtle hints that she isn't quite as carefree as she pretends to be, and that at least some of her wackiness is a coping mechanism. It's mostly visible on the few occasions when she gets visibly upset or sad about something, and then moments later brushes it off, usually with a snarky comment or doing something spontaneously bizarre. Two instances stand out here, which are among the very few times we actually see Pippi genuinely crying: While on an outing with Tommy and Annika's school class, Pippi is pretending to be a nasty troll who chases the other children when she finds a dead bird on the ground. She stops playing and spends seveal minutes crying over the bird, lamenting how she wishes she could bring it back to life. Then, as the other children try to comfort her, she quickly shrugs it off and goes straight back into the game, playfully snarling at them that she's a troll and is going to eat them all. Possibly the strongest hint here is in the book Pippi in the South Seas, which is one of the times we actually see Pippi seriously crying — Tommy is almost eaten by a shark, but Pippi saves him, after which the narrative notes she behaves "very strangely", hugging Tommy tightly and then breaking down in tears. When the other children, a little startled by this uncharacteristic behavior, ask if she's crying because Tommy almost died, she answers rather crossly that she's crying because that poor shark didn't get any breakfast. There's also an episode in the 1969 TV series that also illustrates her tendency to shove away unpleasant thoughts and bury them in wackiness and snark, though she doesn't actually cry this time: After having been at a tea party at Tommy and Annika's house, and quite shocked the adults there with her behavior, she's walking back home in a bit of a miserable mood and remembering the lecture she received about how she needs to act more "ladylike" and her mother wouldn't have wanted her to behave like she does. She's clearly hurt over this, explaining to her dead mother (whom she imagines as an angel watching over her) that she didn't mean to upset anyone, but everything just went wrong no matter what she did, and maybe she should start behaving more so she might actually grow up to be a proper lady like everyone seems to want her to... but then she hardens, declaring to her mother that she's not going to be a proper lady anyway, she's going to be a pirate! She starts loudly singing a pirate shanty and dancing cheerfully down the road.

Pippi Longstocking / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: Mrs. Prysselius is essentially all the "concerned aunts" who wants Pippi in the orphanage rolled up into one character. She never appeared in the original books, at least not with that name, but after she was introduced in the 1969 TV series she's become such a vital and recognized part of the franchise that she makes it in to pretty much every other adaptation.

Pippi Longstocking / int_e54fed84	comment	Can't Get in Trouble for Nuthin': The Christmas special of the animated series, where Thunder-Karlsson and Bloom want to go to prison, simply because it's the closest thing they have to a home. Sadly, they can't get in trouble because of too much Christmas spirit, even when they commit what they feel must be the ultimate crime: stealing candy from a baby.

Pippi Longstocking / int_e83f211c	type	O.O.C. Is Serious Business
Pippi Longstocking / int_e83f211c	comment	O.O.C. Is Serious Business: If Pippi is generally angry, watch out! She will thrash you without another word. This tends to happen if adults threaten Tommy and Annika, Mr. Nillson, or her horse. One of the very few times Pippi has actually cried is when a shark nearly ate Tommy in the South Seas. Pippi immediately jumped into the water and thrashed the shark, scaring it into swimming away. Then once Tommy and she were out of the ocean, she hugged him and started crying. She denied that it was because Tommy nearly died, but her excuse comes off as more Blatant Lies.

Annika points out there's an island nearby, and Pippi clarifies they're still thousands of kilometers from known land, meaning the island is an undiscovered land. [[Spoiler: Which turns out to not be undiscovered after all.]]

Pippi avoids trouble because she always swims fully clothed.

Pippi Longstocking / int_eb8ec7c8	comment	In the 1997 TV series episode, "Pippi Enters the Big Race", Pippi enters a ski race as a representative of her village and despite some blatant delays from the Jerkass, misogynistic registrar, she quickly catches up to second place, but Bengt the bully- who is envious of Pippi being the representative (and also helped the registrar delay Pippi)- isn't happy and gets the idea to cause an avalanche, hoping that Pippi would get buried by it. After finding an ideal spot to cause an avalanche and sarcastically commenting that causing an avalanche would be a shame, Bengt lets the lead skier go through and when Pippi comes by, he blows into a trumpet, only for the sound come out muffled, Bengt sees that Pippi is almost through and tries again, but with the same result. As Pippi makes it across, Bengt looks inside the trumpet, sees that it's been clogged with one of Mr. Nilsson's bananas, and screams, triggering the avalanche he wanted, only that the avalanche threatens to bury ''him'' and not Pippi.

Although considering the last place he's seen in is Mrs. Prysselius's place, doing what he does best, (fixing things), he'll likely get brought down to reality in a rude and angry manner offscreen.
