And the mountains please her more than toys do.

If I decide to go 'round the world.

Just to kiss some sweet Oriental girl.

Ain't got nobody stopping me

I lift the anchor and go

I run a one-man show Life is a breeze.

We live it for fun.

No apologies to anyone.

We live on the seas We do as we please.

From stem to stern each moment is now.

Life without concern from aft until bow.

We live on the seas We do as we please.

Papa.

Aye, aye, Pippi!

Why do we want all these necklaces and stuff?

Gifts for the Kurrekurre islanders, of course.

And I suppose these are to buy me a dress fit for a queen!

There you're wrong, me little darlin'.

They're to keep you out of the pot.

Little girl stew is a delicacy if they're still cannibals like the good old days.

Papa... save me!

I'll show you!

Right! Onto Alfonso!

No! Hey!

Are we gonna take Alfonso ashore, Papa?

Of course. Aren't I the "Terror of the South Seas"?

We'll ride ashore in style. Maybe they'll think I'm King Neptune.

King Neptune? Never heard of him.

It's time you went back to school. Oh!

Fridolf. Yes, sir?

Take five and learn the princess some history stuff...

that'll come in handy when she's a boss like me.

Count on me, sir. All right, Pippi, history.

Take notes.

Okay, Mr. Neilson, if I have to learn this rotten old history stuff, so do you.

All right,

in the beginning, there were... apples,

oranges... and bananas!

And Mr. Neilson loves bananas!

Into the rigging, and down with the mainsail!

It's plain as Pippi's nose, there's foul weather ahead!

Sorry, Fridolf, I can't study anymore. They need me in the crow's nest.

- Help! Papa! - What is it, Pippi?

A big wave... coming towards the ship!

- Come down now! - No way n!

Help!

Take over, Fridolf. I've got to get Pippi down. Aye, aye, Captain.

Papa, I'm scared!

Lash yourself to the mast, girl!

I'm comin' up for ya!

Hang on!

Papa, I'm slipping!

Hang on! If I lose you, remember the Villa Villekulla.

The Gulf Stream will take you there.

We'll come out on top like we always do.

Help!

Papa! Papa, where are you?

I'm drifting away toward the island. The current's taking me.

Papa, it's taking me the other way.

Grab hold of the raft.

Make for the Villa Villekulla.

Papa! Papa!

I'll find you somehow. I love ya, Pippi.

I wish some kids lived there.

It would be fun to have best friends living right next door.

Hello. You kids live here?

No. We live in that house over there. The nice white one.

Well, who lives in this dump? Nobody. It's been empty practically forever.

What did I tell ya? Absentee ownership. Probably dead.

We'll pull it down and the whole plot'll develop.

You can't do that! We play in that tree over there sometimes.

Not anymore you don't! Come on. Take pictures of it. Lot of pictures.

I'll knock it down, and we pour cement as far as you can see. Everything living gets cut down.

It's another gold mine, boss!

We're drifting in the right direction, and we're not gonna starve.

Keep reeling 'em in, Mr. Neilson.

Mr. Neilson and I are very grateful to you for saving us.

But you've got to eat.

That's all there is!

Mmm, not bad.

Blahhh!

Well done, Mr. Neilson.

You might not be the prettiest monkey at sea, but you're the cleverest and thdearest.

- What about me? - Okay, okay, I love you too.

And now we must stick together, like the time when we were in Timbuktu.

So when Papa finds his way back, he'll say, "Well done, guys."

Wake up, Mr. Neilson. Another lovely day.

I hope Papa made it.

Don't worry, Alfonso, the Gulf Stream will take us home, just like Papa said.

But, Dad, why would anyone wanna tear down Villa Villekulla?

Progress, Tommy. Mr. Blackhart has plans...

to build all sorts of houses and a golf course and a swimming pool.

- Sounds nice. Maybe we should move. - No!

I don't wanna move! And what about our tree?

Aah. There's plenty of other trees, Tommy.

You and I'll go out and find another one together.

Besides, this town could use some changes.

Now, it's getting late. Oh, come on.

Time to bed. Come on. Off you go. Couple more minutes?

Five minutes. Nope, lights out in half an hour.

How 'bout an hour? No. Sorry.

Time for bed.

Time for bed.

Now, you know where we are if you need us, right?

Yes, good night.

You'll be all right? Yeah.

Love you. Love you.

Mom says the Villa is over a hundred years old.

They can't tear it down just like that. Just won't be the same anymore.

I don't wanna leave here... ever.

You know, Annika, there's something strange going on in there.

You mean somebody's in there?

Or maybe even... ghosts?

Yeah! Could be even a ghost. Let's go check it out.

See anything? No.

Besides, you can't see ghosts.

Well, if you can't see ghosts,

then what are we looking for? Shh!

What was that?

The step creaked. Don't follow so close.

Look. It's up there.

If I say run, run!

Okay. Where?

Just run.

Look. Do ghosts have big shoes?

Give me the bat.

Can you hit a ghost? Shh. Stop asking so many questions.

You see? It's nothing.

Probably just...

Hi. Who are you?

You're not a ghost? 'Course not.

The ghosts live up in the attic. We know. We just saw one.

It was big and white and had spots all over it.

That's my horse, Alfonso.

What's a horse doing in the attic?

Beats me. I keep telling him not to go up there, but he doesn't listen.

Alfonso, get down on the porch, where you belong.

No way!

You see? He won't listen.

My name's Pippi. Pippi Longstocking.

I'm Tommy, and this is my sister Annika. What are you doing here?

I live here, of course. Are you gonna stay here all by yourself?

I'm not all by myself. Mr. Neilson and Alfonso live with me too.

Oh, is Mr. Neilson your father?

This is Mr. Neilson.

My father is a sea captain who was washed overboard in a storm.

Did he drown? Of course not.

He lives on the Kurrekurre Island. He's the king of the cannibals.

Cannibals? Real cannibals?

- There's no such thing today. - How do you know?

You've never been there, have you?

And do they really... eat you?

Yeah.

Which reminds me. I'm hungry. You guys hungry?

- We're always hungry. - Great.

What the heck's that ruckus over there?

What could it be?

You don't suppose Tommy and Annika... No, I'll go see.

Hey, Pippi!

Hey, Annika!

Pancakes, Alfonso?

Pancakes. Something new.

Tommy! Annika!

Just what in blazes do you think you're doing?

We're just having a midnight snack.

Care to join us? I have never seen such a mess in my entire life!

You two are going to march right home this very instant...

and go to bed!

And as for you, I don't know who you think you are or what you think you're doing here,
