Moomin (楽しいムーミン一家, Tanoshii Mūmin Ikka?) is the third anime TV series adaptation loosely based on the books by the Finnish illustrator and writer Tove Jansson. It was produced in 1990-91 by TV Tokyo, Telescreen Japan Inc., Finlands Broadcasting YLE and Telecable Benelux B.V.. It helped fuel the "Moomin boom" of 1990s and became the second most well known series adaptation based on the books (the other being The Moomins). The series has been broadcast in many parts of the world including the United Kingdom, Israel, Poland, Scandinavia, Bosnia, Taiwan, Greece, South Africa and Hawaii (where it was titled The Tales of Moominvalley). The European version of the series considers the Japanese series' sequel Delightful Moomin Family: Adventure Diary (楽しいムーミン一家 冒険日記, Tanoshii Mūmin Ikka: Bōken Nikki?) the second season of the same series and numbers the corresponding episodes 79-104. The series was followed by a film: Comet in Moominland.
The series has some differences from the books, more strongly than the 1977-82 The Moomins series, but not as much as the 1969-70 Moomin anime series. Some notable differences include:
Actors: Markku Huhtamo (actor), Tapio Hämäläinen (actor), Jyrki Kovaleff (actor), Takehito Koyasu (actor), Ryûsei Nakao (actor), Akio Ôtsuka (actor), Mika Kanai (actress), Rei Sakuma (actress), Elina Salo (actress), Minami Takayama (actress), Leena Uotila (actress), Ulla Tapaninen (actress), Pertti Koivula (actor), Matti Ruohola (actor), Rabbe Smedlund (actor),
Plot: A philosopher predicting disaster, black rain and rumour of a threat from space take Moomin and his two friends Little My and Sniff on an adventure to find out what is coming their way. The trio heads toward an observatory found on the Lonely Mountains. On their way up the mountain they meet Snufkin, a wise and lonely wanderer, who knows about the coming disaster: it's a comet, that could hit wherever, even here! Now lead by Snufkin, the expedition arrives at the observatory and learn that the calculated time is in two days! The four have two days to hurry back to Moomindale to warn everyone and to escape into a cave near the sea - and to find the sweet owner of a golden anklet Moomin found in the mountains. More and more interesting characters join our adventurers: the inventor Snork, his sister Snork Maiden and the stamp collecting Hemulen. Not forgetting the giant octopus, the Snork eating plant and the lizard guarding a ravine full of amethysts, the journey turns into a real adventure!
