Moomin Valley Is the Best Cartoon Ever. Here's Why. 

Yeah that's a good way to put it!! Moomins so lucky he never goes to school once in the show!

Very well put! I'd like to add that I like how the series shows children just playing and innovating stuff that they could play with or exploring their local neighborhood. Most cartoons depict child characters as some kind of heroes who have to defeat some villain. They give really restless feeling instead of Moomins calmness

@@FrostDrive Actually he kinda does in the second season

@@FrostDrive I literally grew up with Moomi. It is kinda huge thing in Finland, in our low key way. I am sure almost any household owns a couple of Moomi mugs - I got spoons, but that was easier to bring cause I live in France. I needed to point out that I suspect those notably high energy videos may not go down so well for us Finns - at least I am more or less absolutely going to skip a tube channel if the tuber behaves so energetic it almost hurts the ears and looks like some short of act aka fake. It is impossible to believe it you know, that a person is happy and peppy all the time every day. And people and their voice is generally far more pleasant to listen to when they are not borderline shouting - or impossibly loving everything. English language though - it has the habit of over using the word 'love' when people mean that they just like something. But for example - a Finn will not generally use this word unless he or she really means it. Which there for also mounts to rather rarely even with those people they do indeed love - mostly cause deeds speak more than words. That said, it is pleasant that Moomi can be found on tube, because those old time - child hood memories - aren't exactly re-running on French TV for me. Not that I even watch tv - did not generally do that in Finland either - before I moved here. Something to do with certain modern reality TV series being repeated consistently on all the different channels as re-runs. Talk about difference in value of a re-run - lol. I'd say it is a real children's series in comparison to many of those things that leak into my eyes despite being pretty selective as to what media I bother to watch.

YES exactly!! I remember watching the moomins every summer at my grandparents house as a child. :)

Also stinky

@@jam9852 He just wants to be loved

tbh even the less likeable/more negative characters start growing on you after a while

the amount of rage i feel when fillyjonk shows up😭

No but theres this short story that we read in high school (I'm finnish) by Tove from Fillyfjonk's point of view and I was horrified to find myself actually understanding and sympathysing with her

Oh my goodness 😳 I never thought about it that way. This honestly makes everything a hundred times better and Moomin in my mind was already one of the greatest cartoons I've ever watched.

@@_riippuu There is a great movie about the life of Tove Jansson that came out last year called "Tove". If you can find it somewhere with English subs I do highly recommend it.

@@Aquelll Mää puhun suomea 😅 well, this is awkward.. Mää näin mainoksia siitä leffasta mutta en sitten ikinä vaan saanu mahollisuutta kattoo sitä kun sitä ei oo tullu missään vastaan. Pitää ettii se jostaki 🤔 wait... I just now realized you might not even speak Finnish 💀 itken

@@_riippuu No nimestä ei osannu sanoa. 😅 Se näyttää Suomessa olevan RU-vidlla ja sit Viaplayssa vuokrattavissa/ostettavissa.

I completely agree, except for the bit about Toy Story. I consider Toy Story one of the few animated American movies that I think touch on deeper themes that also apply to adults. Sure, it has all the jokes and bells and whistles pertinent to the genre, but the drama at the heart of it feels more genuine to me: jealousy, loss, fear of change, etc. It's not typical surface level Disney moralism or flashy, but kinda hollow entertainment like Shrek. At least that's my take on it. The Moomins are still an absolute classic though and not a lot of other cartoons can be compared to them!

"LET'S FILL MOOMIN VALLEY WITH CRIME! COME ON!" It's arguably the best episode. I think it also comes with the bit where Little My asks to date Snufkin and he just falls off the bridge and hides in the water.

@@chrissy9997 You look that scene completely different way when you realize Snufkin and Little My are actually half siblings (they have same mother) - they never explain that in a cartoon, but in books yes. 😂

@@chrissy9997 In the Finnish version he says "let's make Moominvalley into the nest of crime" and he says it in a very sinister way, I think it makes it even more hilarious😄

There is actually an episode where some park guard had kids locked up in an area where the kids are not allowed to do anything. The area is also full of rules. It's quite a funny scene when they break out actually. Not something you would see in todays kids cartoons for sure.

the moomin comics are just a different breed

ohh that's such a simple yet good way to put it!!

I felt the exact motions.

Also for Nepalese.. love from Nepal 💕

As a fellow finn this is so relatable

Not actually. This is the full series. Because, in fact, that what we here in Finland know as second season of adventures from Moomin valley, is actually a totally different series out side of Finland.

@@MohinderPictures409 Yes, it's not called season 2 in Japan, but it might as well be. It's a sequel in the same animation style. And in case someone's feeling like they're missing out on more Moomin episodes, don't worry, the sequel is mostly hot garbage compared to the original. It's not based on the books or anything.

There actually was a legit anime in the 60's or 70's.. But it was never translated into English.

We have two channels with adventures from moominvalley Mtv3 has 1/26 per season And yle2 has 1/13 eps per season here in finland

Season 2 was much worse that season 1. Filled with goofy humour, un-moomin-like, shallow, mean-spirited attitudes, and it had chaotic plots too.

It is very calming and comforing but mörkö was the scariest shit ever for a little child.

@@hh9150 very much agreed,i still get creeped out by her

@@torturequeen1640 I refuse to refer to it as anything other than ”it”. .....I hate to admit that to this day Mörkö is the one thing from my childhood that STILL scares me.

@@torturequeen1640 I didn't know Mörkö was a her. Interesting (-:

Yeah definitely try watching it again and seeing how it feels now!! I'm curious if it's still unsettling

Naah i wouldnt agree with the boring and kinda sucks thing

aw man that sounds SO relaxing! I'll definitely get them for sure!

The neighborhood kids playing noises are not relaxing. They scream all the time and it's very irritating

@@eezz3597 yea she does c:

Looking back at Finnish cartoons in general from the 90's i realized that shows back then didn't see kids "simpletons", like Moomin all other shows like Rölli, Hermannipelle, Ransu etc.. they all had deeper stuff in them like teaching morals and how to be a better person in general. Sucks that they don't make stuff like this anymore, but then again i find it hard to see a Rölli episode like the one where he gets wasted after drinking a Jack Daniels made today :D

@@Winland88 It's truly sad how the entire entertaiment industry nowadays lacks subtlety and thinks the audience are full of idiots.

Yeah checking out more moomins series like the comics and 2019 version, and then making vids on them would be so cool! At some point I wanna make a whole video about the very last episode of the 90's moomins. Thank you enharmonics!

Yeah!! do it!

@@FrostDrive ya they might like it

omg dude ive seen u on like every moomin video ever made my mans on a mission

whine *You know it ( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)*

omg yeah, when I was watching the last episode, I did'nt even realize it was the last episode. I have so many thoughts about it. Definitely gonna do a whole video on it. I'm gonna check out that 2019 version too! Thanks for the comment gandalf! Appreciate it 👊

Did you know there is a season 2 of Moominvalley that only ever aired in Japan? Same art style, same vibe and everything. It's largely considered lost media though because it was apparently never released on VHS or DVD either and the owner of series is super strict about episodes posted online? Iv'e tried looking them up before and the closest I've gotten is to an obscure cartoon website that lists the synopsis of every single season 2 episode(even screenshots), but when you click on it, the page no longer exists...for that reason alot of fans are crossing their fingers that the moomin official channel(or the Japanese sister channel that suspiciously has no videos yet😉)will begin uploading season 2 some time soon.

@@meiu7652 I don't know about the japanese dub for season 2 but the season as a whole is definitely not lost at all or unreleased, it was redubbed in finnish just a few years ago (so we have two official dubs now with the original being the superior one) and the DVDs are all over the place here. I'd imagine they're also common in at least Sweden with their dub. Perhaps they might have fan subs somewhere with one of our dubs? You can try googling "Muumilaakson tarinoita" which is the official Finnish title if you're curious, the finnish wikipedia has its own page for episode listings. :)

HMM YES OUTSIDE

do itt! It's so comfy and awesome. best show to relax to!

I was thinking that but Little My. She's brat incarnate.

@@chrissy9997 okay yeah thats also valid

Everyone does

Snufkin was my first fictional character crush. I was like 6 when the show first aired, there he is, the perfect man.

Who doesn’t D:

I hate snufkin

​@@sonicthehedgehog8159why :(

But there were many Fins in the production. And it is based on a Finnish book and comic series🇫🇮.

@@PalkkiTT Its animated by japanese thus it's an anime.

@@jonahmordhaim2705 1:10 - 1:16, 4:03 - 4:09, 4:11 - 4:13, 4:41 - 4:44, 5:34 - 5:41 and 5:49 - 5:55 FrostDrive has 6 clips of witch little girl, Alicia. The Witch's child. Also i was making Alicia and Little My from 90's Moomin as Mii for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

@@jonahmordhaim2705 Japanese people didn't create moomins, Moomins is finnish production!

@@Mariaverage Yes but the show was animated in Japan. I never claimed it was a Japanese show i just stated that it was animated in Japan thus making it an anime.

Please don't: the second season is very different, with features this video is complaining about in typical cartoons.

yeah it's really good! best show to fall asleep to every night

Thank you port!! Moomins gives so many feelings that it's hard to describe them all haha! If you haven't seen this video by Noralities, about Moomins. It's really good, and she goes more in depth about it all! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-StPPKdqNbig.html

I didn't upload for awhile so RU-vid probably thinks I'm a scrub. haha I'm gonna pump out videos biweekly here from now on though! （￣︶￣）↗　 More moomin videos mixed in here and there too!

Renember little bear and winnie pooh 😟😭

it's in the 90's anime! it's one of my fav episodes too, very comforting and encapsulated the chilly yet cozy feeling of christmas as a kid:-)

Yeah I plan on doing that! I'm gonna take my whole channel in the direction of comics, because I feel like people don't talk about em enough!

@@FrostDrive the moomin comics are really really good

Be ready, original comics and books arent so wholesome

@@happylatino No kidding. "Look, mama! It's a box of whiskey!" "No dear, I believe it's someone trying to drown themselves" (or something like that, I read them in Finnish) The comic books are metal

ooh yeah!! I'll definitely try to throw comparisons in there more! Thank you Greytan!! :"D

Yeah! I don't think I knew about cottagecore back when I made this video, so Moomins was my first exposure to that vibe

man, me too. I wanna live life and FEEl it likee they do

The emphasis on seasons is directly from the original books.
