Picture of original
I really want to see a picture of the original pippi, not the cartoon remake. any ideas? Rocketqueen 15:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * You could go Googling for the original illustrations from the books: they were drawn by Louis S. Glanzman. -- Pennyforth 21:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope, the original illustrations were drawn by Danish artist Ingrid Vang Nyman. Glanzman may have illustrated the first American edition, though. 217.21.232.237 13:33, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

The 1988 US Pippi movie was a favorite growing up. We live in Jacksonville which is close to wear the movie was filmed. We frequently visited Fernandina Beach to visit the ice cream shop, Villa Villekula, and other places in the movie. We would always braid our hair and put floral wire in our braids to stick them out like Pippi. Our hair was blond but around Halloween we could always find red hairspray to really get the Pippi look. The black car the bad guys drove was even owned by a friend of our parents so we got to drive in the car to Villa Villekula once. It was really neat. It made me feel like I was a movie star myself. I just stumbled across this while looking for a copy of the DVD. I really want a copy to give my niece for Christmas so she can enjoy it like we did when we were kids. Thought I'd share my memories of this goofy, but great kids story and movie. User:74.234.36.204 01:14, 13 October 2006

Pippi Examples
What does this line refer to? "In 2001, the Swedish artist Palle Torsson caused some media attention in Scandinavia after making Pippi Examples." I know about one artist in Sweden making a video with cuts from the Swedish TV series where panties could be seen and such, which in context could be perceived as pedophiliac. Don't know if this is it, though... 惑乱 分からん 01:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Ur-Pippi
Astrid Lindgren originally told the story for her sick daughter, and the original manuscript was apparently somewhat raunchier (also containing more old-fashioned, stilted language). The edition finally published was toned down somewhat, with simpler, more natural, language. The original version was apparently published in an official edition quite recently in Sweden. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (&lt; \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 21:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Untrue
There are several things in this article that are not true: in the original books by Lindgren she has a guenon not a monkey and the horse has no name (this is just in the movies). It was written in the winter of 1941 when Lindgren's daughter Karin was sick and asking her to do it. It was finished on her 10th (May 21, 1944). The original illustrations are by Ingrid Vang Nyman.

 * As far as I can tell, a guenon is a kind of monkey. Alltat (talk) 18:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

The Shirley Temple Show adaptation

In popular culture
There's an edit war going on concerning the "in popular culture" section. Currently the section has no sources to support it and reads like original research in the form of a long list of trivia. As such I believe it should be removed. If any of it can be properly referenced from sources that also establish the significance of these appearances then that information could be integrated into the article instead of just listed. For now it doesn't belong in the article. SQGibbon (talk) 06:54, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

An American novel?
The lede says "Time Magazine named the original book as one of the most influential one hundred American novels." PPLS isn't an American novel - no matter how you look at it ... Spanglej (talk) 22:28, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The book is not on the list of Time Magazine's 100 all-time English language books. That remark has been deleted from the article. — Cactus Writer (talk) 16:01, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Amphiboly
In the section “Pippi's unusual strength”, it says, “a car, and weights/barbells weighing over 1,000 pounds”. This has an amphiboly. Does “weighing over 1,000 pounds” apply to “a car, and weights/barbells” or “weights/barbells” only?--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 06:12, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Viveca Serlachius as Pippi - dates?
Not sure what to make of the information about the 1949 film with Viveca Serlachius, which contains the following “who as Pippi made 10 other movies between 1944 and 1954”… Had she appeared somehow as Pippi in 1944 - a cameo, or in-joke perhaps - or should it say “between 1949 and 1954”, or somethig else entirely?

Illustrators
Louis S. Glanzman (1922–2013) is the first U.S. http://www.LouisGlanzman.com/bio.html

Ingrid Vang Nyman (1916–1959) is the original. We have a one-line stub that links the Danish and Swedish Wikipedia articles, and provides the same authority/catalogue data as for Glanzman above.

Some others from WorldCat records: Richard Kennedy (maybe at ISFDB, Tony Ross, Nancy Seligsohn.
