I was expecting her to have at least SOME variation in her emotions, but she's just...happy all the time. Father lost at sea, no worries, he'll float! All the characters are flat, cardboard cut-outs. When Pippi does try to convey some other emotion, she just fails. The music kind of patches up some places, but bad writing is bad writing. The movie also had way too many songs. There's literally a song every five minutes. They could have spaced them out, but no, everyone sings. Not just Pippi, the useless side characters also sing. If this movie were made in the 60's or 70's, I would have be much more forgiving, but it's terrible for a late 90's movie. Don't waste your time.
