Pippi in the South Seas (1970)

Director: Olle Hellbom
Writers: Fred Ladd, Astrid Lindgren (manuscript)
Stars: Inger Nilsson, Maria Persson, Pär Sundberg

“Pippi receives a message in a bottle from her dad. The message says that pirates in the town of Porto Piluse have imprisoned him, and they only feed him bread and water. Pippi, Tommy and Annika travel there to rescue him, using, amongst other things, a hot air balloon with a bed attached in place of the basket, a home-made airplane, and a hijacked pirate ship.”[1]
The scene shows a dream-like flight as Pippi and friends lounge in bed, floating above the sea. It portrays the imagination and creativity of children making use of objects that normally wouldn’t be used to fly.
