Alternate versions

Ending Credits:

• In the original Swedish version, Pippi ends the film by singing the film's theme song, "Sjörövarfabbe" ("Pirate Fabbe"), which continues after fadeout over a black screen. (In current home video releases in Sweden, a credit roll in yellow text was added over the black screen after fadeout.)
• The German version has Pippi instead singing the "Hey, Pippi Longstocking" theme song, which continues after fadeout over a black screen.
• The US version has Pippi singing the "Pippi Longstocking" theme song, which continues after fadeout, with a white "The End" appearing over black, and the song is cut off (crossfaded) with the final fadeout.

The compressed 4-part German TV version of this film ("Pippi und die Seeräuber"/"Pippi and the Pirates") has lots of rare footage not seen even in Sweden. (These are deleted scenes from the movie.) They may have been included in each episode to patch up the running time. These include:

• A scene in Villa Villekulla at night where Pippi, Tommy, and Annika eat a whipped cream pie. Pippi then tends to Mr. Nilsson (her pet monkey), putting him to sleep, while Lilla Gubben (Pippi's horse) walks around outside Villa Villekulla.
• Pippi, Tommy, and Annika ride mules through the countryside. This is after they have landed on a mountain in their balloon-bed, and before they journey to a deserted land and come across a junkyard.
• Extended footage of Pippi calling out for the pirate Oskar on the palm tree island.
• Right after Pippi's "Sjörövar-Fabbe" ("Pirate Fabbe") song number is a scene taking place the next morning; Pippi turns out to have stood asleep at the steering wheel of the pirate ship. She hears Mr. Nilsson chattering loudly, which wakes her up (stretching and yawning), and finds that she's almost reaching Porto Piluse. This is right before she calls for Tommy and Annika to come up to deck in the final film.
• Pippi, Tommy, and Annika come ashore on the heavily-guarded Porto Piluse, sneaking onto a dock from a small boat they sailed on (from their pirate ship). They then walk over to a wall, where Pippi begins to climb. This is right before Pippi, Tommy and Annika peek up from the side of the wall bridge, unbeknownst to the pirate guard passing by.
• A scene where the still-captive Captain Longstocking tries to convince the parrot Rosalinda to climb up on his shoulder, but the bird is reluctant to do so, even biting him a little several times. He then proceeds to write another letter to Pippi.
• A scene where Pippi skips into the pirate town by herself, and into the bar, where she finds Marko scrubbing the floor, with the bartender yelling at him and kicking him. She lifts the bartender onto the wall's sword display, just like before, and reprimands him. (This may have been an alternate version of a scene from later on in the film, and would've ended with the rest of the scene in the final film of Pippi giving Marko golden coins, and Marko kissing Pippi on the cheek before gleefully leaving the bartender to rot.)
• A scene at a dock (with pirate ships in view), where Pippi sneaks behind a guard, taps him on the shoulder, and jumps into the ocean unnoticed. Then, aboard the Hoptoad (Captain Longstocking's ship, hijacked by the pirates), Blood-Svente and Jocke the Knife have a conversation while a henchman serves them food and wine. Both do a spit-take, alarmed to find Pippi climbing up on the rails of the boat. She teases them and jumps back into the water, with Svente, Jocke, and the henchmen scrambling around the boat to pursue her.
• After Pippi swims ashore to the beach where Tommy and Annika await her (continuing from the previous deleted scene), Captain Longstocking is still in the castle tower, awaiting to be sent into the dungeon below. Despite teasing from Rosalinda, he quickly writes another letter, which he sends in a bottle to Pippi (which explains why Pippi found the bottle suddenly thrown into the beach water from the castle in the final film).
• After finally settling her affair with Marko and the bar owner, Pippi skips into town, before she is ambushed by a pirate henchman. Pippi effortlessly wrestles the henchman onto the ground. She does the same to another henchman approaching the scene. She then skips further into town before the henchmen collect themselves and alert the others. This is right before Pippi attacks them with rolling barrels.
• Brief extended scenes of the pirates scrambling around town, when Pippi, Tommy, Annika, and Captain Longstocking escape Porto Piluse.
• Right before the "Kalle Theodor" song number, Tommy (wearing the same raincoat/hat Pippi wore in the number) tried his best to sail the ship at the wheel during a terrible storm, until Captain Longstocking relieves him, as he feels the boy would not be strong enough to sail the ship himself. Worn out from his vain effort, Tommy stumbles back into the cabin, where he shrugs off the raincoat and hat, and starts to eat food on the table. Pippi, Tommy, and Annika have a further conversation, before Pippi decides to steer the boat herself, leading to her song number in the final film. Tommy's predicament almost thematically mirrored the grim song of "Kalle Theodor" (about the world's youngest sailor, a little boy who was not strong enough to sail a boat, and was blown overboard by a terrible storm and drowned, and after that incident, the sea was haunted by calls of "Hei-Ho," in mourning of the boy's death). That explained why Pippi was tempted to sing it.
• A brief shot of Fridolf and his sailor crew, aboard the Hoptoad, waving and calling out to Pippi, Tommy, Annika, and Captain Longstocking (upon triumphantly reclaiming their ship from the villainous pirates).

The aspect ratio is altered to 1.78:1 (16:9) in some DVD and Blu-ray releases.
