Pippi on the Run

Director: Olle Hellbom | Sweden, West Germany 1970 | 94 min | 35mm | German Dub Version | with Inger Nilsson, Maria Persson, Pär Sundberg

Who doesn't know her: Pippi Longstocking, the strongest girl in the world, with the red pigtails, broad grin and her companions Mr. Nilsson and Little Uncle. Together with their friends Annika and Tommy, they experience a wild and crazy summer. When Pippi moves into the village, everything immediately seems to be turned upside down. Of course, there is a lot of trouble with adults who don't really want to see the little tomboy in their orderly world. But whatever rules and order the adults have come up with are simply thrown overboard by Pippi! From a police alarm to a cheerful bank robbery - nothing goes according to plan, and that's exactly what makes this movie such great fun for young and old. Pippi on the Run is pure joie de vivre, a firework of humor and unconventional ideas that will leave you laughing and immersed in Pippi's crazy world.
