Coming soon: Moomins and the Comet Chase


I can hardly wait for this. First released in 2010, it just premiered at Cannes with a new voice cast. I grew up with these books, and heartily recommend them to parents. If you haven't heard of the Moomintrolls yet or 'discovered' Tove Jansson, take a look at this...

  1. The question is, why did it take them so long? And my second question is, why American accents for a Finnish creation? (It's rhetorical - I think I know the answer already).

  2. Thinking about this, I can't see it doing well in the US. Moomintroll and Snufkin heading off to the observatory without adult supervision? They must have cut out Snufkin's tobacco habit as well. They seem to be taking it seriously enough to get another different set of voiceovers. From what I can gather this is a 3D version of a 2010 film.
