"Moomin Valley", as an animation originally from Finland, was immediately bought and remade by Japan (the animation image you see now is also from Japan), and the good villain is also a Finnish descendant. Not only the high-cold Icelandic goddess Björk (Björk) wrote songs for Moomin, the "wet mother" Japan also opened several Moomin cafes, and Finnair also used Moomin to decorate flights... In every way, the cartoon was quite successful.
Winter is coming, and I get up
Moomin Mini History:
Laugh at the little one that your brother leads out! move! draw!
Original author Tove Jansson and her Moomin doll
Moomin's original author, Tove Jansson, is not only an international Hans Christian Andersen Award winner, but also a national treasure writer in Finland. At a very early age, Tove knew she wanted to be an artist, and she was a super gifted painter and storyteller herself. Since she was a child, she has written many stories, which have also benefited her illustrations.

Tove began publishing her first paintings and illustrations in 1928, from children's magazines to magazines such as Garm in 1929 (where her mother, Signe, also worked), and for a long time her illustrations were the main source of income. In addition to these illustrations, cover art, greeting cards, etc., Tove has also released a number of short stories and essays.

Tove enrolled in the fall of 1930 at the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, where her mother attended, and spent three years before moving to Ateneum, the art school where her father, Viktor Jansson had attended. In other words, following in the footsteps of your parents.
《Sara and Pelle and the Water-Sprite’s Octopuses》
She tried to sell some of them to publishers, but unfortunately only one was released in 1933 under the pseudonym Vera Haij, Sara and Pelle and the Water-Sprite's Octopuses.

By 1940, Tove had originally wanted to create an ugly and eccentric elf to make fun of her brother, and without paying attention, he and Lars Jansson created a series of moomins. It wasn't until 1945 that Tove released her first book about Moomin, The Moomins and the great Flood.
《The Moomins and the great flood》
It was followed by Comet in Moominland in 1946, and Finn Family Moomintroll in 1948. But the real Moomin heatwave began in the fifties — Tove hairstyle her three books about Moomin: The Exploits of Moominpappa (1950), Moominsummer Madness (1954) and Moominland Midwinter (1957).
Tove also created a series of Moomin comics that laid the foundation for Moomin's widespread dissemination. In addition to the Moomin books and comic series made with the help of his brother Lars, Tov did a lot of other things related to it: translated into television, theater versions, songs, albums, and paintings.
Fast forward to the 1960s and 1970s, Moomin's final trilogy — Tales from Moominvalley in 1962, Moominpappa at Sea in 1965, and Moominvalley in 1971. In the last book, the Moomin family leaves Moomin Valley, which also symbolizes ThatVe leaving the Moomin series and continuing to devote her energy to her adult literature and painting career.

Spanning decades, it is still popular all over the world!
After experiencing the "baptism" of Japanese animation, the image of the Moomin family has become more and more vivid, and the children who grew up watching TVB have no less feelings for this anime than the like of Saint Dou Star Ya, and its story is even more warm and loving: Moomin is a child with a little naïve stupidity, he lives with his parents in a cabin in the valley; the adventurous Moomin and a group of children with very different personalities, so a lot of interesting and strange things happen in the Moomin Valley, and all the stories in the forest revolve around the Moomin family, which is quite interesting!
These strange and gentle creatures swept Europe in the 80s, and the charm of Moomin could not resist even the goddess Björk from Iceland, who confessed that she was a biological fan of the show.
The goddess wears Moomin's clothes or derivatives around her neck from time to time, and in 2009 she wrote songs for the upcoming Moomin film Moomins And The Comet Chase, which was often collaborated with her partner Sjón. Don't believe you come to listen to the singing voice of the goddess of high cold and watch the small warm cartoon to try?
In 2010, the goddess was also interviewed by the BBC to talk about the feelings of watching the Moomin movie in the first row, and the photos were all twinkling little stars, like cardamom girls!
The most successful IP: Moomin is the warm sun of winter
As a "wet mother", the Japanese people are even more fond of Moomin, and have opened a Moomin-themed café- Moomin Café, from food, environmental decorations to derivatives, to restore the image of the Moomins.
There are stores in Tokyo Dome City, Skytree and Canal City Hakata! Hong Kong Harbour City that family do not want to think, opened for a while and even every day even the waiting chip can not get, the row to you estimate that the mall is closed, now there is no I don't know ~
Moomin Cafe is also very suitable for animation, and the Moomin family has the same love, even if you are a person, no matter which restaurant you go to, the waiter will "invite" one of the members to drink coffee and sigh for you, which is quite humane √
In addition to the moomin exhibitions, theme pavilions, etc. held in other countries, back to Moomin's "place of origin" - Finland, Moomin has become one of the must-buy souvenirs (souvenirs) in Finland, from interesting furniture items (cups and dishes mats) to themed stamps, covering all ages, and from time to time with artists from all over the world to cross-border activities ~ But the most exciting thing is that the world's first serious Moomin Museum is about to open!!!
The world's first official Moomin Museum is coming
The Moomin Valley section in the Tampere Art Museum in Finland is now closed and all collections will gradually be transferred to the Tampere Center, where the first Moomin Museum will open in May next year
However, during this period, an interim exhibition about the "Making of Moomin Museum" continued to tell the story of the construction of the new museum at the Tampere Museum, which remained open until May 17 next year!

This box tells the story of Moominpappa and Sea.
Opening the box is a new world
A Moomin cup is king: each box is telling the story of the Moomin-themed mug associated with it, don't underestimate this cup, it is the ARABIA brand specially designed for the new museum, and it is really the next book!
Moomin Thematic Library: A library will be built in the Moomin Museum, which contains nearly 20 Moomin books in different languages, consulted with Tove Jansson. It is also a small "gold" library for digging treasures
For the small partners who did not chop hands on Double Eleven, you can consider storing the silver for tourism, and go to see Moomin's exhibition (next to the new store), which ranges from books to various derivatives, which makes people overwhelmed!
