I Recreated 9 Oscar-Nominated Movies With Moomins

I didn't know there was no merchandise there. That's actually really cool - makes you focus on the experience instead of souvenirs. The Japanese Moominvalley theme park is scheduled to open next year, too. All the more reason to want to visit Japan now!

And you share the author's first name 😄👍

Well.. actually those are not from Tanoshii Muumin Ikka, they are from the original illustrator and author Tove Jansson (Finland) and it's just called Muumi. The screen shots here are from the Finnish show that proceeded after the books were published between 1945-1993, not from the Japanese-Dutch-Finnish collab they did to produce Tanoshii Mummi Ikka.

Oh

Katri Those screenshots are from the anime. The art style is very recognizable (they made it a lot "cuter"), and the girl in "Lady Bird", Alice, the witch's granddaughter, is a character that only exists in that anime. What show are you referring to? Might be one I don't know of... I know of the animes (there were three or so?), the felt puppet show, some live-action suit shows and an old German puppet show, but I don't know any Finnish cartoons.

Katri Seeing your name with this topic made me remember The True Deceiver, since the main character has the same name :) Gotta re-read that book some time.

Katri Easy mistake to make when you've been watching it dubbed since childhood, specially when the original work is Finnish :) I'm not even from an English speaking country and I used to think Speed Racer was an American cartoon.

Omg I have to apologize cause I honestly have been watching these since the early 1990'sand since they were in Finnish I mistakenly thought that they were a completely Finnish animation production! But you are correct, the witches daughter isn't in the original stories but in the Tanoshii version!
