Product Description

It has been a long time that fans of this legendary series have had to wait. But now the Moomins are back, in their original 1980s puppet incarnation. Mysterious woodland folk, Hemulens, Hattifatteners, the terrible Groke and of course the captivating Moomin family, they are all here in this dazzingly enchanting and magical series. Relive the magic of the Moomins, as fresh and spellbinding as they were when we first saw them 20 years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fuzzy Felt Moomins on DVD at last!!! 2 Jan 2006
By Mr. H. Waring
Here we have on DVD at last one of the greatest children's TV shows of all time. Last seen in the UK in 1986, it is with great delight and pleasure to be able to watch this magical enchanting series again. What can I say? Words simply cannot do the program justice. It is the best TV series adaptation of the moomins ever made. The animation, story and music is spot on. It perfectly captures Tove Jansson's haunting books.
There are 100 episodes of moomin magic in English and if you get tired of that you can watch the original uncut 78 episode German version with English subtitles. All presented in a lavish 7 DVD box set. Go buy it now, you won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars All hail the moomins! 5 Jun 2008
By the santa cat
At last the box set has arrived!!
Well worth every penny; if you saw these as a kid you will know why. And its definitely suitable for your kids :)
It seems there has been no restoration work done on the prints as there is a little bit of damage to the prints, i.e. a few scratches etc, but it doesnt spoil the fun.
These are the abridged versions that were originaly shown on British TV, the German versions are included as well. These are slightly longer, but I just cant wrap my head around moomintrol having a German accent... it just doesnt sound right somehow! Apparently the original Polish versions were a lot longer, but they may not get released. Who knows.

Anyway, dont hesitate, order a copy today, its every bit as good as it was back in the day, definitely worth your money :)

5.0 out of 5 stars How TV for children should be! 5 April 2009
By Dr. Rich Boden VINE™ VOICE
Enchanting, cute, camp and downright terrifying! The Moomins is superb. All of the English episodes are here, along with the original German version with English subtitles. Made in stop-motion, there's a moral every 5 minutes and a delightful brilliance to it. We don't need to know why The Hobgoblin is called The Hobgoblin or why his hat went missing. We just accept the story for what it is. This is how TV for children should be - simple, moral, brilliantly written, clever and entertaining. Wipes the floor with that modern rubbish you see thesedays.

These episodes must have originally aired when I was really small so I grew up with the cartoon version of the Moomins in the 80s and 90s. This version is so much better! Read more
