	MOOMIN - English synopsis episode 1- 52
		Moomin and his friends go mountain climbing, encounter a very depressed Hemulen, sunk in gloom because his stamp collection is finally complete and he has nothing more to collect.
		Moomin and Little My have finally settled into their wintry existence, living on Too-ticky’s fish soup and Moominmamma’s jam, of which there fortunately is an awful lot of.
		The Moomins, however, are horrified at the prospect of having Moominvalley overrun by tourist, and in their plight finally enlist the help of the witch, who is no friend of tourists either, and she applies all her witchcraft to the task of permanently scaring the men off.

	The Moomin World and its creator — Virtual Finland
		Almost the same thing could be said about the Moomin family and their friends.
		It is clear from the first 'real' Moomin book, Finn FamilyMoomintroll, that the Moomin house is also inhabited by the Snork and his sister Snorkmaiden, and an adventurous youth, Snufkin.
		And that is Tove Jansson's message, never obvious but always present in her Moomin stories: show consideration for your fellow beings and understanding for those who are different, that is, sympathy and empathy.

		Moomin's stories begin simply (he needs to rid his home of freeloaders, or goes on a family vacation) and snowball into a series of amusing, whimsical misadventures, which can involve elements of the fantastic, like magic, monsters and ghosts.
		Moomin is reminiscent of a big, chubby baby; there is something of Charlie Brown in him: Moomin is like a child beset by life's troubles and usually (but not always) too passive to get angry and fight back.
		Moomin's mouth rarely appears, but his eyes, his brows and his gestures are expressive and endearing.

	Moomins Galore \| MetaFilter
		The Moomins, created in 1945 by artist and writer Tove Jansson in this story, went on to become a series of books beloved by children in the 60s and 70s and then a British TV show in the early 80s.
		The Moomins’ fame is so all pervading in Finland that they have their own amusement park and museum but they somehow have never gained as much of a foothold in the US.
		Some of the books are surprisingly philosophical and even dark and some of the characters are downright seditious; the Moomins, for all their humor and love, are often a little bleak.
