    • Trivia
      Tami Erin was selected for the title role out of over 8,000 actresses worldwide for her talents, which include singing, dancing, gymnastics/tumbling and horseback riding.
    • Goofs
      After Pippi tries to sell the sewing machine and rushes around to the other door, it is green. When she opens it and pulls it open, the camera view is from the inside, but she is pushing it and it is not green but wooden.

    • Crazy credits
      The ending credits begins with a recap of footage from the film (including "B-roll" footage not in it) as a reprise of the film's theme song, "Pippi Longstocking (Is Coming Into Your Town)," begins to play, and then dissolves into a still shot of Pippi in the dress and bonnet that she wore for the "riding into town" sequence of the film. As the credits begin to roll, it becomes a trace-over illustration portrait, which is seen for the remainder of the credits.

    Fun fare for children and those young at heart
    I'll be the first to admit that this film is light-hearted and often silly. After all, the Pippi books are silly and light-hearted, so why shouldn't a movie version be? The character of Pippi is a great character study for kids: She is imaginative, creative, confident and above all, a good-willed and courteous child. Anyone who expects her and the stories she stars in to be methodical depictions of the serious side of life should re-examine his/her life and priorities. Maybe then the detractors will realize that life can be fun, at all ages.
