This is the second in the series of the 90's animated version of the Moomins.
As with the previous release,the picture and sound quality are not perfect and the quality control could have been better(on the list of episodes,one episode is incorrectly titled 'Hurry Up Snifkin',instead of Snufkin),but there's no major issues.
And as I have mentioned on my review of the first series of the Moomins I am prepared to put up with a few flaws just to see this imaginative,charming and mystical cartoon again!
If anyone is interested in the other series of the Moomins,I have emailed Stax Entertainment who is involved in producing these DVD's and they told me "Volume 3 will be out around Easter next year with Volume 4 around September next year and hopefully 2 more series during 2010."
If you are a fan of the Moomins,I would recommend you buy this now as it is a brilliant show and really captures the magic of the books(which were written by Tove Jansson.

Firstly, the bad points: That is, the one bad point. The art on the boxset/menu screen is obviously not the geniune art is an incredibly lazy imitation. Was it so had to just get a screenshot?
The good points: Completely ignore the above because MOOMIN. This is an incredible series. I loved it as a child, and my partner and I recently thought it wise to purchase the DVD sets. And We were not dissappointed in any way. The characters are just as I remembered them (Snufkin was always a favourite and still is) and wow. It's an engaging program, and it somewhat follows a storyline, not so much that you'd need to have seen all the previous episodes, but it's not just Random Episode followed by Random Episode, like a lot of children's television (and some television meant for adults these days...). And the best thing is, it isn't patronising, so as an adult, it isn't embarrassing to watch. If you enjoyed Moomin in the 90s, you'll still enjoy it, and if you have children, I'd recommend showing them what Mummy/Daddy used to watch, as it's far better than whatever rubbish they're showing these days! [But of course, buy the first volume first!]
