Message: [QUOTE="Tonberry, post: 134903, member: 124861"] Has anyone here ever watched the Moomin anime adaptation from 1990? [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="482px" alt="moomin.png"]43382[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] Moomin (or Mumin as I know him) has played a gigantic part of my life ever since literally before I was born. If you don't know what it is, it's originally a series of Finnish storybooks by Swedish-speaking Finnish author Tove Jansson (and also a self-contained comic strip series with a very different tone). They cover the life and adventures of the Moomin family and their friends. They are a kind of troll with big noses and white fur, and there are all kinds of different characters in the series. They are very special and are appropriate for all kinds of age demographics. The characters all feel very fleshed out and real, and incredibly relatable. The anime adaptation from 1990 is arguably one of the greatest adaptations ever made, and it's probably due to Tove being on the project as a consultant the entire project (Moomin has a history of shitty adaptations she weren't involved in). It's an incredibly warm, wholesome and exciting world full of endearing characters, nice moments and adventures. I just noticed that the official Moomin Youtube channel is streaming the english version for everyone to watch. While I'm not a huge fan of the english voices (as they sound too much like cartoon characters and not like people, like the swedish, finnish and japanese versions do) it's still great fun.
