4th best Inger-Pippi, but still Good
This is my least favorite of the Inger Nilsson Pippi films, but it's still enjoyable. It's basically more of the same of the first film. Pippi doesn't join her father on the ship, and spends more time having fun in town, and at her awesome home, with her friends Tommy and Annika. They walk around buying more candy, throw a party, and Pippi makes a giant snowball. They have to battle the same bumbling crooks who are after Pippi's gold coins. And in this film, Pippi attempts to go to school. But she won't adhere to the rules. You can't tell Pippi what to do, and this lasts about five minutes. I'm not sure why it's titled "Goes on Board", when in fact she doesn't go on board, that is, she doesn't go on the ship with her father (this film begins with the end of the first film). They do build a little canoe, perhaps that's the reason. Either way, this movie is enjoyable. I think of it as part two of the first film, simple and cute.
