Pippi Longstocking, who travels on the ship Hoptoad with her sailor father Efraim, encounters a sudden storm caused by a volcano. After Efraim disappears into the sea, Pippi Longstocking travels to the small coastal town of Rocksby, accompanied by her horse, Alfonso, and monkey, Mr. Nilsson. She takes up residence in her father's home, Villa Villekulla, which the neighborhood children believe is haunted. Soon Tommy Settigren and his little sister, Annika, venture into the house after seeing lights in the windows. Looking for ghosts, they meet Pippi, Mr. Nilsson, and Alfonso instead. They become friends and get into various adventures together such as making pancakes, cleaning the floor with scrubbing shoes, serving ice cream to children of the local orphanage, riding a motorcycle, and dodging "splunks". Pippi must also fight off Mr. Blackhart and his henchmen Rype and Rancid who want to demolish her house and sell the property, as well as avoid being legally taken to the orphanage by Miss Bannister. She agrees to escape and flee with Tommy and Annika in a homemade autogyro to avoid this fate. However, they are rescued after nearly going over a waterfall while riding barrels down a river. Thinking that Pippi will hurt their children Tommy and Annika's parents refuse to let them play with her anymore. Pippi believes that Tommy and Annika would be better off without her and she goes to the orphanage. As a result, Pippi is forced to leave Mr. Nilsson and Alfonso behind. Pippi is unable to fit in with the other children due to her lack of discipline and education. However, after she rescues the orphanage from a fire inadvertently started by the children's home's janitor and is lauded by the townsfolk as a hero, Pippi is allowed to return home and play with Tommy and Annika again. She is reunited with her father on Christmas Day, and he offers her the chance to become a cannibal princess of the uncharted island he had washed ashore on and was crowned king. Pippi agrees and everyone comes out to bid Pippi a tearful farewell. Just as they prepare to sail off, she decides to stay after seeing that everyone in the village is sad to see her go. Pippi explains to Efraim that she cannot leave Tommy and Annika. He understands and tells his daughter that he loves her. Pippi and her father say goodbye and Pippi goes home with Tommy, Annika, Mr. Nilsson, and Alfonso.

Development

The idea of an American film adaptation of the Pippi Longstocking series by Astrid Lindgren was first developed when producer Gary Mehlman's daughters Romy and Alexandra convinced him to try to secure the rights from Lindgren. When he wrote a letter to Lindgren expressing interest in acquiring the rights to the film in November 1983, Lindgren declined, as she regarded the character as "her own daughter".

Eventually, in August 1984, Mehlman traveled to Stockholm during pre-production of The Yellow Jersey to meet with Lindgren and Svensk Filmindustri executives Lennart Wiklund and Conny Planborg for the film rights. Although Svensk Filmindustri was willing to give non-Scandinavian rights to the film, Lindgren was hesitant. After Romy hugged Lindgren during their introduction, Lindgren gave her approval. After returning from Stockholm, Mehlman met with Walter Moshay, an investment consultant and Mehlman's best friend, and Mishaal Kamal Adham, a Saudi Arabian investor who never produced a film before. Having convinced Moshay and Adham to produce the film with a $12–15 million budget, Mehlman formed Longstocking Productions with them; Mehlman and Moshay served as producers, while Adham served as an executive producer. On August 15, it was announced that Mehlman purchased the rights to the film and that Kimi Peck would write the script for the film.

On October 16, 1985, it was announced that Ken Annakin would write the screenplay and production was scheduled to start early in 1986 with an estimated budget of $10–12 million; Bavaria, Florida and North Carolina listed as filming locations. At the American Film Market on February 25, 1986, Producers Sales Organization announced that they acquired the foreign sales rights to the film, with TriStar Pictures distributing it in North America.

Casting

To cast the titular character, Mehlman, Moshay, and Annakin, along with casting director Garrison True, and executive vice president of marketing Gary Shapiro began an international search for potential actresses on October 7, 1985. Over 8,000 actresses from United States, Canada and the United Kingdom participated in the auditions. After going through two callbacks and a screen test, Tami Erin was eventually selected for the role on February 21, 1986. Erin was excited at the prospect of working on the film, saying, "This is it! The door opened and said, 'You got it!' Oh, oh! I had no idea I would get so emotional after all these years, oh my God! I just jumped in his arms!"

On Erin's casting, Annakin said, "I don't want to turn into Pippi. I want Pippi to turn into . I've never seen anyone radiate sunshine the way she does."

Filming

Principal photography began on May 17, 1987 in Fernandina Beach, Florida. During the production, Annakin allowed Erin to improvise much of the dialogue.

The exterior scenes in Villa Villekulla were filmed at the Captain's House, located near Plaza San Carlos. The interior scenes were filmed at the WJCT studios in Jacksonville, Florida.

Atlantic Records issued the film's motion picture soundtrack upon its release, in both LP and CD formats (LP: 91016-1, CD: 91016-2). It was also issued in Japan by Polydor Records (CD: P32P-20156). The Atlantic LP and CD had 22 tracks, with the score by Misha Segal, and all of the songs.

Box office

The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking premiered on March 8, 1988 in Tokyo, Japan. The film had its North American premiere on July 15, 1988 at the Florida Theatre in Jacksonville and was released nationwide on July 29, earning $933,462 on its opening weekend. The film went on to gross $3.6 million in North America – less than half the film's budget, and became the 136th highest-grossing film of 1988 in the U.S.

Critical response

The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking received mixed reviews. Janet Maslin of The New York Times gave a mixed review of the film. She was critical of Tami Erin's acting, the screenplay and visual effects, but praised Eileen Brennan's acting and Erin's hair design. Richard Harrington, writing for The Washington Post felt that "it's just as hard to imagine Lindgren sending Pippi to Hollywood again anytime in the near future" and criticized
