I've liked the idea of strong women from the beginning. And as a boy, the very idea of a redheaded girl my own age who was stronger than everyone around her was amazing and thrilling to me - so I loved the Pippi Longstocking movies.
Strangely, I never thought to check whether the movies have been made available on DVD, but they have. The Pippi Longstocking Collection is available at Amazon.com. I don't know how they hold up, or whether they'd seem as delightful to me today as back then, but I aim to find out.
