Fay Masterson was one of the runner-ups in the casting search to play the role of Pippi. Ken Annakin liked her so much that he wrote the part of the head girl at the children's home just for her. See more »

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When they are playing in the street with the orphans from the children's home, Pippi says "Come on kids, it's Pippi Longstocking day!" When the view changes we see her say it again but there is no sound. See more »

Crazy Credits

Upon the Columbia Pictures logo appearing (during which the film's theme song, "Pippi Longstocking (Is Coming Into Your Town), begins to play), the logo dissolves into (rather than fading-out-and-in to) the first image in the opening credits; the abstract vector image of Pippi's braided pigtails, freckles, and eyes (part of the movie's title logo) over a white background. The eyes are slightly animated, blinking occasionally, and reacting to the titles below. "Columbia Pictures Presents" appears first which fades out, then they are focused onto the "An Adham/Moshay/Mehlman Production of" credit that rolls into place from the left and fades, then onto the "A Ken Annakin Film" that rolls into place from the right and fades, and finally, onto the film's title, "The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking," which fades into place. They focus on the "New" that bounces into place from the left (right between "The" and "Adventures," which conveniently part to make room for it). They then look at the camera and the left eye winks for a second. Then it begins the credit sequence proper. See more »
