Critic Reviews
-
Carrie R. Wheadon, Common Sense Media
Pippi's spirit shine through in OK '80s version.

Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
More sticky sweet, ie grating, adventures with Pippi. Kids might enjoy it still.
-
Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
Slightly entertaining, in a really stupid way.
