Pippi Longstocking is the person that many boy or girl dreams of being and she lets us see that everything is possible. This imp is a rebel in a positive way and her behavior is sometimes eccentric.

There is one thing that a lot of people know about Pippi and this is that this kid is very strong. Pippi can easily lift her horse Little Old Man up from the ground.
Pippi has several good friends but the best friends are Tommy and Annika, the kids in the neighborhood who live near the Pippi's extraordinary and large house, "Villa Villekulla". Of course, Pippi's dear room-mates are her pet animals, a pet ape Mr. Nilsson and her white horse.
This enthusiastic pigtailed girl with mismatched thigh-high stockings is very often shown to be happy and has positive approach although she is getting in trouble.
