[Y^^]: Pippi Longstocking (1969~)

[Y^^]: Pippi Longstocking (1969 TV series)

It was a TV series based on Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking children's books. When I was young, I liked that series even though it was not a cartoon nor an animation.

Pippi's magnetism was her liberal thinking and act. Her action was not bad, but adults, such as Miss Bannister, worried about her and tried to restrict her behavior because Pippi did not follow their customs.

Children got vicarious satisfaction through her who ignored and broke old customs.

She ignored and broke old customs but she did not do hold a candle to the devil. She was just creative and knew how to enjoy her life in her own way. That made her charming.
