The Moomins

Recommended Posts

I recently read Finn Family Moomintroll (and found it very good) - I used to love the cartoon series (wish it was on DVD!) and the books are so like the show. I must read more Moomins, they're so magical and weird and nice in a very natural way.

Are those puppets? The Moomins I grew up with, as part of my Introduction to Finnish Culture, were animated, like cartoons. I didn't even know there's puppet Moomins. My parents even took me here when I was the size of a fire extinguisher.

 

Wondering if its a bit much to ask for the moomins dvds for my birthday at age 20...:roll:

 

I started getting Disney DVD's for Christmas after I turned 18, so I guess Moomins at 20 is okay. Besides, the original books are really not for the very smallest of the family.

I dunno - it's for 7 discs and a running time of 474 minutes, so

Yes, they were animated, not puppets. Can't remember what I posted now :lol:

I have four moomin books waiting to be read and I read two last year, they are just wonderful, what's not to love about a moomin? :) The film 'Moomins and the Comet Chase' (Muumi ja punainen pyrstötähti ~ original title) based on the book ~ 'Comet in Moominland' was released this year in Europe (no date for the UK or USA as yet), there is a lot of famous names in the english version, Alexander Skarsgård (Eric from 'True Blood') is the voice of Moomintroll! ~ Click here for info :)

Thanks for the info Weave. I just bought Comet in Moominland recently so I will look out for the movie. Actually I now have a couple of Moomin books, and it has been thanks to your recommendations. friends3.gif

 

Not a problem Kylie, I am happy to help, I haven't read 'Comet in Moominland', I read 'Moominland Midwinter' and 'Finn Family Moomintroll', random but I have a bag with Snufkin on it :)

Oh good, I have found the Moomin thread  :smile: .

I've read Comet in Moominland as the first one, at the age of 46  :giggle2: , then The Moomins and the Great Flood, Finn Family Moomintroll, Moominsummer Madness, Moominland Midwinter, Moominvalley in November, Tales from Moominvalley and Moominpappa at Sea.

 

It could be that I have read all the books now  :smile:  :giggle2:

How I love The Moomins :wub:
