    Yes, it surely is! And the title, for all you sad, clueless people out there, is Pippi Longstocking on the Seven Seas. It has everything you'd ever need in a movie, such as:
    • * dramatic action
      * sidesplitting humour
      * gut wrenching drama
      * clever trickery
      * impressive names ("Kalle me' plytet")
      * the first romance
      * PIRATES, ffs!
      * exotic milieus
      * purdy pitchers (underwater, volcanoes, tropical islands)
      * dangerous animals
      * song and dance
      * Arcanum-style technological marvels (hot air balloon bed, bicycle driven aircraft)
      * violent torture
      * bloodcurdling curses
      * and all the other things I'm not mentioning because you are all philistines incapable of realising the true enormity of this movie
    Or are you?

    Sjörövar-Fabbe, farfars far,
    var minsann en sjusärdeles karl.
    Kring alla hav han far och far,
    tjo och hadelittan lej.

    Sjörövaryrket passar'n bra;
    "De är bara att röva och ta,
    och de", sa Fabbe, "gillar ja",
    tjo och hadelittan lej.

    Your assertion is close to irrefutable, although Ronia the Robber's Daughter is a very strong candidate, if only for the sake of having vittra in it.

    She's strong enough to lift a horse! Question is, can she take a horse? We'll never know.

    Well, she runs around looking for "spunk", and you knwo what that is, don't you?


    Besides, I know what the movie lacks.


    NINJAS!

    Add some Ninjas and it would have everything.

    (Or does it have Ninjas, but they are being so Ninja that you can't see them?)

    And I'd not like to find out. Friends don't let friends fuck horses. Why? People die, dammit!

    Towel time!

    According to this website they should be in there from the begining to the guitar-wailing finale.

    That website introduced the phrase, "to pork," to my vocabulary. It's been about 5 years since I visited that site...And yes, ninjas would indeed have made Pipi Longstockings.

    Well in the movie I so eloquently praised, Pippi herself is obviously the ninja. Just look at her sneaking around the pirate town without being noticed, stealing food and climbing prison towers and all that.

    (Also, bad Xz. Bad, bad Xz! Insinuating that I'd get high from harmless tobacco...)
