Pippi as directed by Fassbinder

Although this is one of the least ambitious of the Pippi movies, it happens to be my favorite. It doesn't have the pirates or exotic locations of the South Seas adventure, or the flying cars of the one where they run away from home. It's basically just a continuation of the first film, with Pippi and her friends tramping around town irritating people and showing complete disregard for property laws. Since the back story and exposition are already in place, no time is wasted and the children set to work immediately. And, unlike the other films, the children are a bit more malevolent in this one.There's a strong, negative undercurrent to the proceedings this time around. Tommy and Annika are noticeably more fault-finding of Pippi, critisizing her singing voice and expressing displeasure on several occasions. Tommy insults her shoes. Annika says her games are dull and uninspired. Pippi, in turn, plays cruel jokes on them involving guns, drugs, and sinking boats. She makes Annika cry and forces Tommy to compromise his manhood by spraying ladies perfume in his face. The animals aren't spared from Pippi's abuse, either. She throws a pair of panties on her horse's head, admonishes him harshly for eating sugar (which she encourages him to do), and brutally traps Mr. Nilsson under an overturned laundry basket, furiously telling him "If you're going to act like an ape, you belong on a cage!"In "Pippi Goes on Board" there's actually three different children doing voices for Pippi, Tommy, and Annika - as opposed to that one old lady who did everything in the first movie. However, most of the characters are dubbed with New Yawk accents-which makes their kvetching all the more hilarious.

4th best Inger-Pippi, but still Good

This is my least favorite of the Inger Nilsson Pippi films, but it's still enjoyable. It's basically more of the same of the first film. Pippi doesn't join her father on the ship, and spends more time having fun in town, and at her awesome home, with her friends Tommy and Annika. They walk around buying more candy, throw a party, and Pippi makes a giant snowball. They have to battle the same bumbling crooks who are after Pippi's gold coins. And in this film, Pippi attempts to go to school. But she won't adhere to the rules. You can't tell Pippi what to do, and this lasts about five minutes. I'm not sure why it's titled "Goes on Board", when in fact she doesn't go on board, that is, she doesn't go on the ship with her father (this film begins with the end of the first film). They do build a little canoe, perhaps that's the reason. Either way, this movie is enjoyable. I think of it as part two of the first film, simple and cute.
