This is a community for all things Moomin.

The Moomins is a franchise created by finnish author/illustrator Tove Jansson. It features a vast amount of comics, TV series, movies, books and games, telling various stories mostly set in moominvalley.

If you are new to the Moomins, this video essay is a fantastic starting point to learn about this family-owned franchise.

Here are a couple Moomin Valley mugs I received as gifts a couple years ago.

I can't describe the deep calm, reverence, these mugs, and this show in general, invoke.

I can only imagine. Sometimes I fantasize about running away and becoming Snufkin, but then, don't we all?

Honestly, I thought I was the only one, and I was always fearful of admitting this... I am among family here, it seems.

The Moomins are wonderful.

They achieve a tone in media I only experienced again with Bee and Puppycat.

A depiction of a fantastical reality that is mundane and comfortable in all the best ways.

And they haven't gone overboard with the fantastical world, either. And that's not an easy feat to achieve!

I've never heard of Bee and Puppycat, but it looks super cute!
