Tales From Moominvalley: Tove Jansson (Moomins Collectors' Editions)

Product Information

The original songs by Jansson and Tauro remained scattered after their initial release. The first recording of the complete collection was made in 2003 by composer and arranger Mika Pohjola on the Moomin Voices CD ( Muminröster in Swedish), as a tribute to the late Tove Jansson. Tauro had died in June 1993 and some of Jansson's last lyrics were composed by Pohjola in cooperation with Jansson's heirs. Pohjola was also the arranger of all songs for a vocal ensemble and chamber orchestra. All voices were sung by Åland native vocalist, Johanna Grüssner. The same recording has been released in a Finnish version in 2005, Muumilauluja. The Finnish lyrics were translated by Kirsi Kunnas and Vexi Salmi. [29] Billy The Kid appears only in the 1990 edition, in Episode 17 of Season 2. He lives in "Cowboy Country". He is based on the real outlaw with the same name. Snufkin's exact species is ambiguous. In his debut book, Comet in Moominland, he is initially referred to as "a Snufkin", implying that he is referred to by his species name much like the other characters. In Moominpappa's Memoirs, however, it is revealed that he is the son of the Joxter and Mymble, who are an interspecies couple. This very likely means that Snufkin is a hybrid.

The Moomins have since been the basis for numerous television series, films and even two theme parks: one called Moomin World in Naantali, Finland, and another Akebono Children's Forest Park in Hannō, Saitama, Japan.

His Japanese voice actor, Takehito Koyasu also voiced Butch in Pokémon, Carlos Miyamoto in Street Fighter 6, among many other roles in his career. Moomin is the third anime adaptation based on the novels and comic strips. Before the production, author Tove Jansson was already displeased with the previous Moomin anime adaptation from 1969 due to how unfaithful the series' characters and stories were to her original source material. [4] [5] Because of this, both of the first Moomin and New Moomin from 1972 were never distributed or aired outside Japan. Since 1981, Finnish animation and commercial producer Dennis Livson began to beg the rights from Tove and Lars Jansson to make another animated adaptation. [6] Eventually, Livson managed to win both of them over after they saw his previous produced animated series Alfred J Kwak, and rights for another series were obtained. A year later in Tokyo, Livson showed a small preview of the anime series for both Tove and Lars Jansson. According to Livson, Tove commented it by saying "Dom lever ju" ("They are really alive!").
