I wrote way more than I intended to about Moominvalley... minor spoilersI've only watched the 1990 anime before this one, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.
I first want to confess, the Moomins were sadly not part of my childhood. I did not know of their existence until I was 17 believe it or not.
You'll probably enjoy this too.I've been a fan of the Moomins since watching the '90s series entitled Moomin - which is how I will refer to it hereafter.
I'm an avid fan of moomins, by which I mean I have been raised on it, from its bizarre and oddly sardonic humour to it's cute charming characters. I even have a moomin tattoo.
Having seen the first half of the first season, I am really happy about this. I feel the totality of what I've seen is good - animation, storytelling, visuals, dialogue.
Yes the originals are flawless and I know other reviewers are questioning the point of this remake, but it's a really sweet and cute adaption in my opinion (and I'm old enough to remember the original stories!) with a good voice cast that will bring these enjoyable tales to a new audience.
I love this, as a fan of the moomins, I find this version such a lovely addition. I grew up with the anime and I find this version so pleasant.
To be honest, I kinda like this. The story is interesting in my opinion and Little My gets much more screen time than in the Tanoshî Mûmin ikka.
