Jansson's first version of the novel was published in Swedish inand was the basis for some translations, including the English translation. Jansson later revised the book, and made numerous changes in her final version, published in The updated version, which became the basis for many subsequent translations, contains numerous minor and several major edits and revisions, which include:. Jansson wrote and illustrated a black-and-white comic strip version for newspapers. The day story does not follow the book's Moomin and the Comet for example, the Moomins get their news from a radio, not a trip to the observatory, and Little My appears throughout the story, albeit often observing. In this version the comet hits Moominvalley dead on, laying the landscape bare. Right away, however, flowers bloom, and life begins again. The episodes of the stop-motion series were remastered, re-recorded with a full voice cast, and edited into the compilation movie Moomins and the Comet Chase. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Also Snorkand the Muskrat are presented Moomin and the Comet this book. Writing and drawing Moomin stories gave Tove a new vent for expressing herself. Like the first book, also Moomin and the Comet in Moominland was partly written during the war when the life was unpredictable. Comet in Moominlandis about big catastrophes and natural disasters. The comet destroying everything has been compared to the atomic bomb. Having the strength and ability to live and manage were important messages.

I've loved the Moomins for over 60 years and was greatly looking forward to this film. Unfortunately it did nothing for me. It just didn't register at all, unlike the cartoons and TV series I remember from years ago. If I were reviewing it from a child's point of view, I would probably give it a much higher mark. I would think many children would enjoy it. So although it grew on me a little during my viewing, it had none of the magic I'd hoped for. Looking for something to watch?
