The Moomins


i love the moomins and i used to watch them all the time when i was little (this was in the 90's) does anyone remember them?

reply

Never seen the cartoon/anime version but the stop-motion models version... I hardly remember anything of specific stories, just the atmosphere, music, characters and such... Thoroughly haunted me from childhood onwards, in a good way.

The cartoon version that i used to watch as a kid was probably the best anime that i've watched to this day. I don't remember much just the whole vibe of it all- sort of a melancholic but in a beautiful way vibe... Ive gotta find this on DVD!

This version is the stop-frame motion version from the 1980s, I think you guys might be confusing it with the 1990 cartoon series 'Moomin'.

This version from the 1980s was absolutely TERRIFYING!

is the moomins finnish?

Tove Jannson was Finnish, yes.

...although she wrote in Swedish ;-)

Because she was a Swedish-speaking Finn.
