Seeing Miyazaki’s Pippi makes me so sad that we never got to see that movie. I’ve been reading a ton of Astrid Lindgren with my kid lately, and for many of them I see them in my mind’s eye as Myazaki films, and especially Pippi. Myazaki and Lindgren have a lot in common, I think, in how they tell stories from children’s perspectives. What we’ve got for Pippi movie adaptations instead are very poor things.
