Message: [QUOTE="Tonberry, post: 157734, member: 124861"] I'd like to share a neat thing I just found today. As I've said before, Moomin is a Finnish creation, but a lot of Finnish people speak Swedish as their native language, and as such, Moomin's original language is in fact Swedish. The anime didn't air all the episodes in Swedish, but the ones that exist have a really good dub, particularly because Tove Jansson consulted a great deal during the creation of the 1990s show. If you're at all interested, [B]I just found a few episodes with the Swedish dub that feature English subtitles[/B]. This could be considered the "true" way Moomin is meant to sound (even though the anime is obviously a japanese production) with all the correct naming conventions and voices (the English dub is okay for the mostpart, but it's easy to come off as slightly "baby-fied" due to the ages some voice actors are doing for certain characters, particularly Moomin himself, making it feel slightly less timeless/ageless). Enjoy! These three episodes are part of a whole "arc" of episodes: [MEDIA=youtube]el80d3-eERU[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]gzuaVR2OOv8[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]MzEYobhvUKg[/MEDIA] These two episodes feature the iconic Mårran/Groke who terrified millions of Swedish and Finnish children (yours truly included).
