moomins are the bastard creation between a hippo and some forest critter

Heard about it from a tumblr user who wasn't (very) cancerous. I saw a little bit of it, and from what I did see I liked it.

I watched it as a kid.
Recently I discovered the comics and they are pretty cute, yet more mature than you would except.
On the other hand, it's finnish, so stories about drunk relatives crashing at your place might not be too adult in that context.

>>84368055
Heard of it because of the internet. Never seen it because I'm an American.

>>84368118
Are you interested now?

>>84368186
Sure if someone tells me where to start.

>>84368362
Moomins are a global phenomenon. There's Polish and Russian cartoons as well.

I watched it all the time as a child. I was surprised to find out much later that it was produced in Japan.

>>84368398
All of these old shows. Heidi, Trapp Family, Treasure Island, Maja the Bee, etc.

Saw this show recently. Loved it. The young witch was fucking adorable.

>>84368081

Moomins in Finland are what Beyonce is in the USA.

Enjoy, theres like 5 collected main books, also look for a copy of 'Moomins on the Riviera' It's pretty much the book coloured and animated complete with Moomin papa getting drunk.

Annnddd I'm out of Moomin art, both harvested and my own.

>>84368944
>implying you can truly be friends with someone that has Snufkin's personality

Nigga just shows up and hangs around with Moomin when the weather is nice. When Moomin asks if he can go south with him he just flatly says no. He's a nomadic acquaintance, not a friend.

>>84368957
I remember a episode of the cartoon where Moomin finds and injured dragonling in the river and tries to take care of it, the lil green thing keeps abandoning him to hang out with Snufkin.

>>84368055
Was and still is a big thing in Poland thanks to great dubbing and uncensored version.

Yes, I am.

>>84368070
English subs of the Swedish dub would be perfect.

When this initially aired it spooked tiny baby me somethin awful. Something about the tone rubbed my little kid brain entirely the wrong way, and it didn't help that there was a subplot in there about a girl with an invisible head.

Also. The Groke. fuck.

Fast-forward to a couple years ago, it's on youtube, I watch a couple episodes - I love it.

Turns out occasionally spooky slice-of-life anime about trolls and shit written by gay Scandinavian women is my kind of genre.

>>84368863
that's fuckin great

>>84369027
Uncensored? In which way?

>>84368620
So does South Korea.

>>84369098
There is a few changes - mainly in lighting and music in some episdoes. Originalsounds scary and even depresing in times - but still maching the scenes. The UK version has more cheerfull music and lighting (for exaple with groke) is lighter so you can actualy see her more.

Also I really LOVED the Riviera! But for some reason it was direct to Dvd here...

the show was very popular in bosnia in the 90s, alot of people grew up on it and almost everyone knows about the moomins here.
we have a GOAT dub of that show and that really helped it's popularity. I liked watching it with my mom. She loved the the episodes that had snow/winter in them.

>>84368362
Moomin is an enigma of languages.
Was originally written in swedish as the lady who wrote it never spoke finnish. She was however born and raised in Finland thus it counts as finnish. The cartoon was originally made and voiced in Japan (but directed by people from the authors family).
Also the recent movie was made in France.

You can watch Moomin in any goddamn language you want.
Fun fact: in the swedish dub of Moomin. The author is narrating.

She was also gay. Tuutikki (the chubby girl who stayed at their bath house by the ocean) was inspired by her lover. Hence why the author never had any children.
Another, more well known fact is that little My was based on herself.

I pretty much grew up with it, as a kid I had all the toys and merchandise and my family would go to Muumimaailma, which is like a Moomin themed amusement park, where you could visit a replica of their house and such. Still have a photo of 3-year old me hugging Moomin on the fridge.

>>84368055
I weird quirk in the Swedish translation, most of the characters didn't have names perse but were referred to as their "race" or occupation.

So Moomin was The Moomin, Daddy was The Moomin Papa, and so on.

But can we all agree that the Live Action "advent" series is the worst of the Mumin adaptions?

I think Thomas the Tank engine is fairly well known here in the states. I'm old to enough to remember there being a version of it that aired on PBS here called Shining Time Station.

Mumin technichally doesn't count as either Finnish, nor Swedish. It's a minority culture in Finland known as Finlandssvensk. It's hard to describe how it works, but geographically and officially they're Finnish, but many, if not most, never learn the Finnish language since it's not really required to live there, since so many speak swedish. I know it's technically Finnish, but at the same time it's not, but at the same time it is.

The "correct" way to watch Mumin is in Swedish, since it's the most accurate version of the show.

Also, your fun fact is inaccurate. Tove is not the narrator in the Swedish dub of the cartoon. The narrator's name is Vivi-Ann Sjögren.

>>84370773
This is a common misconception. She was actually bi. Mumrik/Snufkin is allegedly based on Atos Wirtanen, a man she was engaged with for a while. He also owned a green hat similar to Mumriks/Snufkin's.

Here's a BBC docu about Tove Jansson, for anyone interested.

>that episode where Little My was crushing on her half-brother

>>84380154
When Tove's mother died, she started to view the Moominvalley as a much more darker place, and eventually she just couldn't bear herself to keep coming back, it was too hard to write about it.

The last book ends with a character called Toft, who stands on a bridge, waiting for the Moomin family to return from their trip overseas. You never know if they come back or not. There's no implication that they either do or don't, the books just end there. It's sad as hell.

>>84378909
>but many, if not most, never learn the Finnish language
Not really though. You have some small cities or fishing towns in the western coast where people try to speak only swedish but the vast majority of finnish-swedes are able to speak finnish, since not speaking the language of the 96% majority of the country you live your entire life in is a fucking retarded move and limits your life sphere significantly

Most Fennoswedes, at least ones that aren't elderly, know Finnish to a degree, but in some regions, like Vaasa, where the Fennoswedes are more numerous, they refuse to speak Finnish unless it is absolutely necessary out of principle, because they are cunts with attitude problems.
They almost live in self imposed apartheid over here. They absolutely refuse to interact with Finnish speaking Finns if they can avoid it. Our fucking schools are separated between the languages.

The book series is fascinating, if a little disturbing. The stories start out very light-hearted and playful, but then midway through (Moomland in Midwinter) they start to take a somber turn. The stories get progressively darker and more melancholy toward the end.

I've often wondered if Tove Jansson had some kind of mental or emotional issues that got worse as the years went by, and were reflected in her writing.

>>84393802
The Winter War

>>84377052
I always thought the Groke was the personification of Seasonal Affective Disorder--that dull, lingering depression that sets in when the nights are long.

Moomins are pleasant tempered largely because they hibernate in winter and avoid staying up through the long Scandinavian night. The Groke is pretty much the terror they are trying to hide from.

how about

Mumin: Mystery Dungeon

>>84400026
I want a Moomin FPS.

Zombie Apocalypse in the Moomin Valley.

You get to play as Snufkin (firepower, equipment) or My (speed, agility). The premise is to get the hell out of the valley per boat.

There are three benevolent non-zombies left, Snufkin, My and Sniff. Keeping Sniff alive isn't vital, but he spawns mutated sniff-clones everywhere once zombified (getting Sniff out alive will be a special achievement as he will run off to get bitten whenever you look away).

You start off with various melee weapons to duke it out with zombie moomintrolls (and others) that come for your brains. All your classic weapons from broadswords to hockey sticks and proper Molotov Cocktails (not the ragged gasoline-in-a-bottle bullshit).

Hattifnatter are neutral. You can grab them for ammo/power, but they will explode if hit, jumped on or ran into. Advanced weapons (e.g. crossbow) rely on shooting Hattifnatter into moomintrolls to give them heart attacks.

Moominpappa is the final boss, he will fiercely defend the lighthouse with his arsenal.

Most people would start as Snufkin for his ability to dual wield things (two crossbows, to make the fired hattifnatter collide at a distance and explode in the air, takes a hell of a time to reload), but would eventually look at My's ability to evade the Sniff-swarms rather than mow them down.

I can't get over how he keeps placing them so that there isn't room for their legs.
Do they have super stubby legs or are they standing in super deep holes?

I enjoyed it Moomins on the Riviera. I only wish there had been more Mymble (Mymble's Daughter) on it. Her attitude and voice were so attractive.

Here's a reliable torrent for those who want to check it out.

I've been trying to get some original Moomins and the Comet with original Finnish dub / English subs, but so far all I've found is a made for TV cut version in low low quality. I wish they'd put out a DVD of this!

(I have ways of getting the translation, but I do need that uncut video source.)

There was a 3D Moomin game for DS. It's only in Japanese though. If I remember right there was also a GBC game and a different European DS game.
