They Could Have Done This Better!
Me and my friends were big fans of the Pippi movies in the 70's. I have always known that the movies were made in Sweden and had been dubbed into English and that the dubbing wasn't really the best but I still loved the movies but I was very surprised when I found out that this was originally a Swedish kids TV show and that they actually took episodes from the show and edited them together for American theatrical movie releases and now the TV shows have been put on DVD and that's nice but it has been redubbed by people with British accents and I have absolutely no problem with that but I was very disappointed that they felt that they had to change things. Why did they have to change Annika's name to Anna? It's not like Annika is a name that is unheard of in the The U.S.A. and The U.K. it's not hard to pronounce either and is actually a beautiful name and I also think that on the DVDs they could have also included the original Swedish language track with English subtitles. Personally I would just rent this and hopefully a new DVD set will come out with a Swedish language track and English subtitles and new English dubbing where they don't make unnecessary changes and Annika will be called Annika and not changed to Anna! And I hope to see the American Theatrical movie versions put on DVD too! I grew up watching them and would love to have them on DVD!

Pippi Longstocking The TV Series
To begin with, the British voices are find, but take a little getting use too. The words they speak are a lot closer to what they really are saying. Where as the first English dubbed movies are sloppy. Most of the music is the same with just a few ad ins. The transfer from film to DVD is crystal clear and colorful. The best part of these episodes being released is that they have added in all the extra footage which completes the story far better than the choped up movies which left so much out. I can not wait until they bring out the rest of the series to DVD. I'm in my thirty's and have many other adult friends that watch Pippi too. And so many kids love it. With the remastering it's like a new Tv series. Oh, and great Dolby digital sound as well. Thanks www.Amazon.com for making these wonderful and enchanting series avalible to us.

THE NEW DUBBING
(...) THE NEW DUBBING IN NOT RIGHT!! I LOVE PIPPI AND THE WHOLE CHARM OF IT WAS THE BAD AMERICAN DUBBING!! I WAS SOOO HAPPY TO FIND OUT THEY FINALLY RELEASED ALL THE PIPPI'S ON DVD BUT THEN I HEARD THE NEW DUBBING AND WAS VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED.. I SOLD IT IMMEDIATELY AND LIVE ON WITH MY PIPPI VHS TAPES!! THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE IT SO YOU HAD A CHOICE OF AMERICAN, BRITISH OR SWEDISH.. I MEAN THEY HAD TO HAVE KNOWN THAT TRUE PIPPI FANS WERE GONNA BE UPSET!!
