Production notes

A Moomintroll is small and shy and fat, and has a Moominpappa and a Moominmamma. Moomins live in the forests of Finland. They like sunshine and sleep right through the winter. The snow falls and falls and falls where they live, until their houses look like great snowballs. But when spring comes, up they jump.&Momin characters reflect a specific human type. Their many adventures and subsequent resolutions stress important family values, non-violence and individual qualities of kindness, self-confidence and independence.

The third of the "Moomin" series.

This remake by Hiroshi Saito aired for 104 episodes on TV Tokyo. In 1991, starting with Episode 79, the series was renamed "Tanoshii Moomin Ikka Boken Nikki" ("Happy Moomin Family Adventure Diary"), with the directors changed to Takeyuki Kanda and Tsuneo Tominaga.
