Concept art from the Pippi Longstocking movie Hayao Miyazaki never made

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 .

TheMiyazaki and Studio GHIBLI LiveJournalhas more concept image from the never - made film Pippi Longstocking , The Strongest Girl in the World . The illustrations are a rather marvelous combination of Lindgren ’s role and Miyazaki ’s vogue , but after Lindgren met with Miyazaki and Takahata , she declined to give them permit for the version . Of course , we ’re not seeing the entire pitch here , so we do n’t get a full sense of what the vitalizer planned to do with Lindgren ’s workplace .

But Pippi ’s influence would be felt in late Miyazaki and Takahata ventures , notably in Panda ! Go , Panda ! ’s Mimiko , with her pair of crimson braid .
