Trivia
The adventurer Thor Heyerdahl, most famous for his Kon-Tiki expedition, has a small role in this movie as one of the pirates. He was on a vacation in Barbados when this movie was shot and was among the tourists who where asked to be extras in the film.

Goofs
When Pippi, Tommy and Annika hide in the well, all three sit in shoulder-deep water for several hours. Yet, when they finally climb out, the kids are bone-dry.

Quotes
Blod-Svente: [meeting Pippi for the first time, not knowing who she is] And who are you?
Pippi Långstrump: A tiny, tiny pirate. Just like you.
Blod-Svente: What in blazes are you saying? I'm not a pirate! I'm a... I'm a sea captain!
Pippi Långstrump: Are you? If you're a sea captain, then I'm Donald Duck's aunt.

Alternate versions
Ending Credits:
In the original Swedish version, Pippi ends the film by singing the film's theme song, "Sjörövarfabbe" ("Pirate Fabbe"), which continues after fadeout over a black screen. (In current home video releases in Sweden, a credit roll in yellow text was added over the black screen after fadeout.)
The German version has Pippi instead singing the "Hey, Pippi Longstocking" theme song, which continues after fadeout over a black screen.
The US version has Pippi singing the "Pippi Longstocking" theme song, which continues after fadeout, with a white "The End" appearing over black, and the song is cut off (crossfaded) with the final fadeout.

The world would be a much brighter place to live aside with Pippi as a president...

I just want to agree with fedtho that people who votes an 6 or less must see the film from a miserable perspective. Cause here in this movie we have a really good person worthy of imitation. Pippi is more like an superhero for every children (without super mussels or rocket launchers). She also fights for the weakest of children.

Children needs a girl like Pippi who aren't perfect looking but just as perfect as she is created.
