If you are curious about the Moomins, be aware that a lot of low quality material have been created by the estate which inherited the rights. Look for the books written and illustrated by Tove Jansson. They are some of the best Scandinavian literature and the illustrations are amazing.
Jansson also illustrated some books by other authors, for example The Hobbit: https://imgur.com/gallery/njtkL https://imgur.com/gallery/njtkL
- waihtis 6y agoFor folks with kids, I'd like to add the Finnish-Japanese-Dutch TV-series "Moomin." It is an iconic TV show here in Finland and generally quite good quality. It is of course a bit old by now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moomin_(1990_TV_series) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moomin_(1990_TV_series)
- gspr 6y agoIt's also a foundation of childhood memories for 90s kids here in Norway (albeit with voiceovers, as we tend to do for children's stuff). I can still hum the intro tune. And perfectly hear the sound the moomins make when they go from standstill to moving. And the Groke still creeps me out, and anyone my age gets a reference to that character right away! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Groke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Groke
- roi 6y agoA wonderful video that references several children animes of that time, including the Moomins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJSk3sh3zlo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJSk3sh3zlo
