Actually the series was only made into two of the movies. The other two movies (Pippi In The South Seas and Pippi On The Run) were made specifically as features films and are based on the books of the same name.

If this is the original series being released it should be the thirteen original episodes, not four films.

That's why I said "some."

I doubt that the series will get a Blu release (the cover art in the OP is from the DVD release), it'll likely be the movies. Unless they're going all out and doing the episodes and movies for one set.

It would be so great if the blu release had the series AND all four movies!

Hen's Tooth doesn't appear to be one of the labels that go all out, at least not from the handful of releases I have gotten from them, so I am not being too optimistic that we will get everything.

I would watch these films every time they aired on TV, channel 5 KTLA Los Angeles. They would have Pippi Week and air one of the films each night. My wife is a couple years older than I am and she's never even heard of Pippi Longstocking I asked her if she grew up under a rock well Tucson Arizona so close to it, ha ha. Great news about the set but I don't know how much I would enjoy them now as grown up. On the fence with this one plus its pricey.

My elementary school used to show Pippi from a projector.
It would would show every now and then on local TV, but she never mainstreamed.

She is one of the first heroines i saw as a kid.
Not counting cartoons and Wonder Woman, and the Bionic Woman.

Inger Nilsson fans can now rejoice. I wonder if she's still around?
