Pippi's Adventures on the South Seas
The success of the animated Pippi Longstocking (1997) resulted in a second Pippi film, Pippi’s Adventures on the South Seas, now with SF as main producer. The film consists of three episodes from the animated TV series that had been made in conjunction with the first film and then edited together.
“If you are very strong, you must also be very kind.”

Fact
Astrid Lindgren in Germany
In 1949, the young German publisher Friedrich Oetinger was in Stockholm to meet the author Gunnar Myrdal. In a bookstore, he happened to hear about Pippi Langstrumpf. The rest is history – he requested a meeting with Astrid Lindgren and obtained a German option for the Pippi trilogy. Verlag Friedrich Oetinger in Hamburg still publishes all of Astrid Lindgren's children's books, and her great popularity in Germany remains intact. The film adaptations of her books were, in several cases, German co-productions, and they are still shown on German TV, especially around Christmas. Several of Astrid Lindgren's songs are very well known in their German translations, such as "Hey Pippi Langstrumpf!".
