Context of that picture: everything he says in those panels is complete bullshit and he's just making it up. Why? Because he's got a midlife crisis, he desperately wants to be an adventurer, and he hopes such outrageous lies would fool people into thinking that he's living an exciting life.

Groke's coldness is a personal kind, basically she comes off as cold because she's bad at socializing, despite only wanting warmth and companionship, and freezing everything she sits on.
Lady of the Cold meanwhile, brings the cold to ALL of Moomin Valley and will kill you if you look her in the eye. Basically, she's frostbite or hypothermia, cold that will actually kill you. Or something like that.

Is this a Finish, Swedish or Japanese creation?

Moomin was created in Finland by Finnish writer and artist Tove Jansson who only spoke Swedish. They were successful in Europe from their 1945 creation however their popularity exploded globally in the early 90’s when the new anime aired around the World. There was a previous 60’s anime however Tove hated it so much she asked that it never left Japan, and it never did.

Finnish, made by a swerdsh speaking finnish lesbian.

I was introduced to the Moomins through Jansson's novels. It was only years later that I discovered the comic strips and cartoons.

The thing that struck me most about the Moomin books is how the tone of the series got darker and more melancholy as it went on. The pivot was "Moominland in Midwinter", that introduced a side of Moomin Valley--a very dark and creepy side--that I hadn't seen before. Afterwards, the stories become more and more serious and almost sad in a way. I have to wonder if something happened at that point in Jansson's life to cause such a change.

Moominvalley in November was written after her mom died. The Moomins are still in the island from Moominpappa at Sea, so the whole book is about their absence through their secondary cast.

Dude, you just spent 1/5 of your entire monthly salary on merchandise of a children's book series.

They recently opened a new Moomin theme park in Saitama, near Tokyo.

It's nice.

Attached: 52399.jpg (1280x722, 125K)

Moomin is a way of life.

That actually explains a lot. I never quite understood why that particular novel was written the way it was.

For whatever reason, comic artists from that general geographic region tend to draw like that. Gaia magic, I blame Gaia magic.

>The children were directly influenced by their mother's artistic sensibilities and Tove in particular retained a close connection, only leaving the house at age 28.

>Tove has written that she felt her mother understood her better than anyone else and even toward the end of her life, Tove "always tried to resemble [her] Mother, always tried to draw like [her] Mother." In 1928, at age 14, Tove noted that "Mother has important drawing work. (...) I am waiting for the time when I will be able to help her with her drawings. Mother does so much work by herself."

>Hammarsten-Jansson's death in 1970 profoundly impacted her daughter's writing and it has been suggested that her presence is strongly felt in a number of the books Tove wrote after the death.

>The melancholic Sent i November (1970) deals themes of leaving and loneliness, and is typically considered the most mature of the Moomin series.

>Sommarboken (1972) concerns a young girl whose mother has died and her relationship with her grandmother. Hammarsten-Jansson's death marked the end of the Moomin series of novels and Jansson's literary output became primarily adult-oriented.

this... kind of explains the art style of Stand Still, Stay Silent.

What are you quoting? I can sorta see that relate to the part that's from but not really. They let Mr. Brisk win a competition against a walrus but I forget the details

It's a song Donny and Goliath. The point is weakness is not something to be proud of.

Finnish, but Japan has had a huge influence on the franchise since it ended up being one of the main markets for it

kinda a shame that Moomin has never really been much of a thing at all in the US in comparison though

Moomin isn't even the only European/Scandinavian cartoon influenced by japan. Maya the Bee and Nils Holgersson also got heavy Japanese influences - particularly since they had cartoons done by japan.

>kinda a shame that Moomin has never really been much of a thing at all in the US in comparison though
Not every thing has to be popular worldwide. Some crazy thought form me to you.

Almost done watching Moominvalley. I think this show has a good blend of the comic's snark and wittiness and the animated show's magic. They achieved something hard - a good looking cgi show - and I love the english voice cast. Matt Berry is the greatest Moominpapa, Snufkin has that gentle, Finnish-accented tone, and Moomin doesn't sound TOO young. I quite like this less flowery-sounding Snorkmaiden, which suits her occasional digs at Moomin.

Only thing I've not digged so far was the Groke - far less ominous and scarylooking, and I feel her story had a much better conclusion in the other show, making her tragic rather than just led out of the valley. That ep felt like more of a Sniff spotlight ep, as he's not giganticallly regular in this show. The Hattifatteners were less menacing too, but led to a very prettylooking ep.

Best ep thusfar has to be the jungle/storytelling ep, so much going on and the cgi really shone. Is there going to be any more, or is 13 eps our lot?

One is the personification of loneliness, the other is the personification of winter.

Now if we could only get them to make a Lord of the Rings animated trilogy based on Tove's illustrations for the swedish edition of the novels.

The contrast between the first books and the last two is really striking. In The Exploits of Moominpappa, the world is bustling with adventure and fun weird characters to meet, while at the start of November, Snufkin sets out into what's described as thousands of miles of silence, the Moomins are gone, and the remaining cast struggles at basic interaction. And holy shit, that seagull graveyard scene.

you aren't wrong, but until a franchise achieves large scale success in the US it can never truly reach it's full potential

Astérix I GUESS SOLD OKAY MAYBE in the states, but it is mostly big in Europe. And it is successful.

5 seconds later, I understood what you mean. However, "full potential" simply meant "every person who would love to consume ___ is given ___" If nobody in the US wants a european product, appealing to europeans only IS full potential. Sometimes some things just do not appeal to a country.

>Why does she live with the Moomins?
The Mymble's Daughter brought her with her. Then the Mymble's Daughter disappeared from the books like many of the other characters, but My stuck.
>What does she do in the Winter when everyone is hibernating?
She hibernates in a cardboard box in a cave.
>Does her mother not care that My abandoned her?
The Mymble canonically can literally not keep track of her kids. She probably doesn't even realize that two of them went missing. "Mymble" is a nonsense word that Tove Jansson's college friends used as a euphemism for fuck, the implication is that she sleeps with anybody and pops out kids at an alarming rate. But it's a kids' book, so it's not very overt.
>Why is she so small when she is older than Snufkin?
It's a joke, basically a pun on her being Mymble's "smallest child".

>Is My not short for Mymble?
No, it's a joke about her height. "My" is the Nordic pronunciation of the Greek letter mu, and because of that it's also their word for a micron/micrometer. Which is very short.

Of course it's a takeoff of the name Mymble, but it's not meant to be an abbreviation.

Tove Jansson was a Fennoswede, wrote the books in Swedish, and actually wrote the comic in English, as it was originally published in a bong paper called The Evening News, which is now defunct. However, it's likely that she also wrote the comic in Swedish to begin with and then translated it to English herself.

By board rules I am required to drop this, as it is European and made by a lesbian.

I often feel I'm just as often bewildered as I am charmed by the individual strips. To be fair, I've only read a book by Tove's brother and a bit of her first comic book. Also, I'm just utterly charmed by Mymble thanks to that storytime an user did a few threads back nd I want to know about her even if I know she won't stick around like her sister My.

One mouth that just gets drawn wherever it needs to be.

How do you guys feel about the edgy first anime?

Quite possibly. The series I had as a kid is this one:
kepregenydb.hu/kepregenyek/mumin-749/

It seems it had many different artists working on it; the story about Moominpapa's childhood was written by Noomi Hebert and drawn by Jukka Murtosaari. It also had a lot of other stuff, I know it adapted a lot from the cartoon at the time (the story about those white wiggly worms, the story where the valley got flooded and they ended up hiking on a floating theatre, the story where Moomin stayed up during winter, from the top of my head). So it's possibly an adaptation of an adaptation of the originals? Either way, I think we are talking about the same thing.

However our local comics in the 90s were notorious for being random compilations of stories and very often they were cut in half before they could finish a storyline. And I cannot find any info on what books they adapted here. Since our local books get cut in half very often, I like to track down the originals to read all the stories they left out, or the endings which are missing.
But for some reason, I can't find any moomin comics to read online, and I've been searching for a while.

Thanks for the information, it helped me find some article that discusses the topic more.
It's easy enough to find copies of the Jansson comics since they've been reprinted a couple of times, but these Semic/Egmont comics are more obscure and nobody seems to keep any kind of database on them. I found one blog discussing which issue of the magazine contains which stories, but its records stop at the point when the blog author quit reading the magazine. Browsed some online stores and library databases out of curiosity too; judging by their catalogs, looks like finding full copies of the stories that were printed only in the magazines would require a lot of effort.

I've seen a couple of Jansson comics scanned, but not full books. As for the Semic comics; I doubt there are a lot of people who'd have both access to them, a scanner, as well as interest to scan them.

Attached: muumilehti1.png (774x447, 606K)

That screenshot is definitely from the story I read. Honestly I'd be fine reading the originals too, but I can't seem to find those either.

has it ever been storytimed??

It's from Muumi -magazine which seems to be our version of the Múmin magazine you got. Apparently a storyline about Moominpappa's youth was printed in late 1993 and early 1994 over here.
I'm not sure what kinds of local websites you've got for online auctions or selling used goods, but those would probably be the best place to find old obscure magazines. Or maybe some store focusing on used books; sometimes they have big collections of magazines too.

Attached: muumi.jpg (1200x1747, 453K)

I have most of my original magazines still, I only sold the capeshit books.

My problem is that the local ongoings were all a smorgasbord of stories, and very often they got cancelled abruptly. So they are missing stories and the last few ones may even be incomplete (TMNT for example got cancelled just before the Black Hole trilogy, Transformers had the first third and last third printed and then proceeded with the middle third but got cancelled before finishing).

So I'd like to read the original version that was localized here, to catch up on the missing stories, or to read them in their original form. However it increasingly sounds like that they were local, European "originals", the same way how our Disney comics were half American, half italian originals published in ongoing magazines. So I can't do the same as with, for example, the Turtles book which sourced mostly Archie TMNT.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to dig up my originals from the wardrobe.

Volume 2, the complete Lars Jansson collection comes out September.

Question from someone who only read the books when just a lad, are comics technically AU?

I guess? Though most of the stories in the novels make their way in to the comics too.

Do you feel lucky?

I really need a Moomin mug. Or three.

The show has always had a special heart in the Swedish people because of the lovely heavily Swedish Finnish accent.
The intro song is even sung by the same guy in Swedish and Finish version.

Never read/watched anything Moomin, found Moomins on the Riveria online so I'm giving that a shot. So far they're hopping from plot to plot, I'm assuming it's just adapting some of the comics? Also holy crap Little My has an annoying voice in the English dub.

Moomins on the Riviera is a comic book which is what the movie is fully based on. The sexually confused dog is my favourite.

Moominpapa would never do such a thing

Yes, yes you do. You're not a Moomin fan without one.
Three companies make them:
Arabia make ceramic, rhe most famous kind.
Muurla make enamel/metal ones.
Huskup make biodegradable plastic-free travel mugs.

In fact examples of all three are pictured here:

Which is why Tove hated the original 60s anime so much. The characters get drunk, beat each other, have guns and god knows what else.

And yet the opening song is SHIT outside of Japan.

Heavily armed Moomins does make for an interesting side plot.

She's prettier in the new CG series

>The characters get drunk, have guns
This just sounds like it's based on the comic then.

Of course I agree that domestic violence in the Moomin family is way the fuck off base though.

They're super, super repressed. They desperately need catharsis in things they can watch in private where they don't have to lose face by admitting to having emotions in front of someone else.

Didn't you ever wonder why getting-drunk-as-fuck culture is so prevalent there?

This is my first time ever watching anything Moomin related.

And might I say... OOF SNUFKIN HAS SUCH A GREAT VOICE.

That's cause they get drunk really easy, due to a genetic defect. I mean like 1 drink and they are in la la land, while us Europeans need 2-3 bottles at least.

I thought it was an Irish accent, it's actually Swedish.

Snufkin generally always has a nice voice, hell, in the 90's anime he was voiced by fucking DIO.

I kinda prefer the old, original Finnish.

Moomin sounds a lot different in Swedish, the english dub makes him seem like a little kid when he's a teenager

>>Tooticky is a girl
>Bullshit.

I remember watching the 90s cartoon and being exactly this surprised.

She sounds pretty feminine in Finnish.

Is that so??

Cause I've been really into Swedish and Irish accents lately so that must be why I immediately loved it.

I like her Scottish accent in the new CG English version. Suits her.

Snufkin always has a pipe in his mouth but I just noticed in this new series it is replaced with a stick of wheat(?)

I’d give him something long and hard to suck on..

Smoking is a no no

Guess it's more children oriented now so they can't show Snufkin smoking 24/7

Actually a good thing as more and more people are not smoking these days now that the boomers are dying off.

Makes sense in terms of the target audience now, but Snufkin is basically the personification of not giving a shit about what people think of him, so him smoking even now or in the future doesn't seem out of character.

Go watch Haibane Renmei.

And Moominpappa has these midlife crisis moments every single day.

user, no! Moomins are not for lewding!

I believe the surfer hair guy is Snorkmaiden's brother. He appeared very little in Janssons' writings or drawings, and they don't have much of an established appearance for him. The character design seen in the 1990s anime was created and established by that cartoon, because the original works make him look kinda nondescript.
In that clip you replied to, the character design with long yellow hair is based on a scene where Snork's wearing the wig of a judge.

Based

Is there like some kind of OST for the new CG show? I'm digging some of the background songs.

No, that just makes it cheaper. The *reason* they do it is because it's socially agreed that "drunk people say and do crazy shit", so when they're plastered (or pretending to be) is the only time they can be honest.

A bit off-topic.
When I was a kid the local library had an edition of The Hobbit illustrated by Jansson. I thought at the time that the illustrations were a bit weird, but in retrospect they're really cool and original, especially as anything after the movies are way too derivative off of those designs.

There is a soundtrack cd out but it’s just the pop songs with no background music, not even the opening music is on there.

>the original 60s anime
anyone got any links to this?

>Snufkin vs the Groke
I need this

That's Bilbo meeting Gollum.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a lot of it has been lost since Tove hated it and VCRs weren't a thing yet. I think nyaa.si has some episodes.

post superior version

I had a Moomin pajamas when I was a kid. My grandma made it for me.

I know, but it looks like Moomin characters

>Misabel's English voice

Their mouths are under their noses. The large nub on the front of a moomin’s face is a nose.

If I hadn't been previously familiar with the character, that voice would've made me assume she was a guy.
...and after googling it now, I just realized her English VA is a male-to-female trans. I suppose that explains the voice.

>hiring men who pretend to be women to pretend to be pretend women
Okay I realize that there's some kind of logic there but Jesus Christ, things have gone way too far.

It just does not add up!

I've heard of duck face but this is ridiculous

Attached: duckin.png (942x674, 299K)

If she wants to be identified as a woman, why the deep voice?

Moomins are fucking real?? I thought I hallucinated when I had the flu as a kid.

The character or the VA?
Comics don't have voices so I don't know what kind of voice the character was supposed to sound like in her original story. This cartoon made her sound masculine, but that's just the cartoon adaptation.
As for the VA: playing Misabel was only a voice-acting gig, and that person doesn't use such a deep voice in normal situations.

I suppose they might've made chosen a trans VA and played up the voice because that particular character had some issues with her self-image. The story where she appeared also had a dog who liked only cats, and some see that as a LGBT allegory (although IMO it doesn't really work well as one, since the dog realizes at the end that he likes dogs after all).

They are virtual boy real.

He likes a boy dog in the Riviera movie, he gay

Should also point out however Pimple was in love with a female cat who rejected him for being a dog, so Moominmama looks for cats but none are interested in dogs so she finds a dog on the street and bribes him with bones so she can paint him to look like a cat and play with Pimple which he accepts, he can’t speak however because it would give away that he was a dog. All is well until Little My gets him wet and his paint rubs off so he apologises and explains the situation to Pimple who doesn’t care and he loves the boy dog anyway and the two snuggle. I think it’s to illustrate Moominmama’s line:
>It’s better to love something rather than nothing at all.

Could be bi.
Wasn't Tove bi?

Lesbian as far as I know. She did have a very close male friend who she based Snufkin on. He too would disappear for months on end in the Winter months.

>She did have a very close male friend who she based Snufkin on
She was engaged to that dude. Possibly only until she realized that she was a lesbian, but still.

or he was a reverse beard till she stopped caring
