In 1973, the Swedish television broadcast “Christmas in Moominvalley” as their 24-part Christmas special. It was based on the stories by Tove and Lars Jansson, and it was directed by Pi Lind and Ingegerd Lönnroth.
The series was made by mimes in Moomin suits and the voices were added later. The series was well received and it was accompanied by a calendar with a Moominvalley background and character stickers that you could place on the calendar above.
These haven’t been seen since 1973 but was released on DVD in 2005. Below are the 24 episodes. Enjoy!
