Pippi Longstocking is a Swedish/German TV series produced in 1969 with 13 episodes based on Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking children's books.

The first episode was broadcast February 8, 1969 on the Swedish monopoly state channel SVT.

Inger Nilsson gave a confident oddball performance that was uncommonly consistent and eccentric for a child actress.

English-language film version

The Swedish series was re-edited as four poorly-dubbed feature films for U.S. distribution. They became weekend television staples in several cities in America throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The original series, newly dubbed using British actors, became available in 2002.
