In 1971, animators Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata began preproduction on an adaptation of Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi Longstocking books, but in the end, were unable to secure Lindgren’s permission. But we can still see Miyazaki’s watercolor concept art of the strongest girl in the world.
Nice find!
๐ These are adorable – it’s too bad the movie was never made…
I loved Pippi Longstocking when I was a little girl. I am so sad this never got made.
I did too – would love to have seen this made! ๐ฆ
Do you think I’d like this one????
Lmfao! ๐
Nah.
LOL
very interesting
Yeah. ๐ Wish this had been made!
Looks like something I would have loved as a kid (and as an adult). Wish Lindgren has given this one the go-ahead!
Same here! Would have been a great film. ๐
