This is beautiful, atmospheric and very 1970s. Richard Murdoch's narration suits the pace of the animation. It is more beautiful than the cartoon version - but they are fun to listen to in Norwegian.

Everything about this Polish version is really cool.. The animated version doesn't have the same mysticism or magic like this does.. I loved this as a child..

@SupernalOne It's based on Tove Janson's original story, yes. On the page where the squirrel's death is described, it also says that if you find this too depressing, you should skip to a page further on in the book. It turns out that the squirrel is alive again in the spring, and he doesn't remember anything of his death.

I seem to remember that when this aired on Norwegian television, the opening and end credits theme was different. Or is there another version of Moomin animated with puppets?

Is it just me or does anyone else think The Lady of the Cold is hot??

We grew up on these books. We were lucky to have these european books and television programmes in the uk. It was like magic to us.
