>I think what's liked about Pippi is her independence and how she believes she can do almost anything Absolutely. I read Pippi as a child (in English) and always thought she was wonderful. Amusingly, a friend and I both came to the conclusion that Lizbeth Salander[0] was Pippi all grown up. I wonder if Stieg Larsson had Pippi in mind?

I didn't bother with the American version, as American movies are mostly crap (then again, Sturgeon's Law[2] applies everywhere) [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law
