This G-rated film has virtually no offensive elements and features a cheerful, happy atmosphere. Although Pippi is very independent and tends to resist the guidance of adults, she is kind, pleasant and likes people. Her lifestyle might influence young viewers to disobey their parents, but the film shows how a young girl can care for herself, be happy and content and share a loving relationship with her father. And, eventually, she and her father decide she should settle down to a more orderly life on shore. All of the comical antics in the film contain some mild slapstick violence, but no serious injuries. Some of the characters are hit on the head, thrown around, dunked in water, trip and fall, have a gummy black substance and some heavy objects dumped on them, and have a hand mashed by a trunk lid. But, overall, PIPPI LONGSTOCKING is a fun, happy, film for youngsters with some positive messages.
