Lacks that real Tove Jansson magic - Moominvalley: Series 1 review by PaulaJGriffin65
Whilst this updated version is beautifully animated the storylines lack that sense of otherworldliness that the previous animation and the original snooks by Tove Jansson possessed. The stories are far too light and frivolous without the sense of Nordic menace that made reading these a child the first step into the world of adult literature. There’s a stellar selection of famous names on the voice cast list but so many seem wrong. Moominpapa sounds like he is reading a 1980s public information film and the Snork sounding like a Peckham girl just makes me want to scream! Some of the characterisation seems to have be “updated” for example Little My was always mischievous but never malevolent whilst others seem to have been airbrushed our altogether. Where were Too-Tickey & The Groke?
