List of Moomin (1990) episodes
Moomin (Japanese: 楽ã—ã„ムーミン一家 Hepburn: Tanoshii MÅ«min Ikka) is an anime television series produced by Telecable Benelux B.V., that is based on the Moomin novels and comic strips by the Finnish illustrator and author Tove Jansson and her brother Lars Jansson.[1] The anime series premiered on TV Tokyo on April 12, 1990 and ended on October 3, 1991 with 78 episodes being made. Because of its huge success in Japan, the sequel series, entitled Delightful Moomin Family: Adventure Diary (楽ã—ã„ムーミン一家 冒険日記 Tanoshii MÅ«min Ikka: BÅken Nikki) was made and first aired from October 10, 1991 to March 26, 1992, lasting 26 episodes. The sequel series has only been aired in certain countries outside Japan, where it is featured as the second season of Moomin, combining two series resulting in 104 episodes in total. Unlike the original series, the sequel series doesn't have any episodes based on Tove Jansson's books. However, part of its episodes are based on Lars Jansson's comic strips.
In certain countries like Finland and Sweden, several episodes from the combined list of 104 episodes have been left un-aired. In Finland, episodes "The Pirate", "The Imp" and "The Birthday Surprise" were banned due to being too terrifying and "un-Moomin-like" according to the director of the Finnish dub, Jertta Ratia-Kähönen, while in Sweden the episode "The Big Explosion" hasn't been aired but instead "The Imp" has been shown. In Norway, "The Witch", "The Spell" and "The Imp" were aired once and then were taken off, because they were thought to be too scary for the youngest in the audience. Similarly, after "Tiny Guests" first aired there, parents called in to NRK, complaining that the Groke was too scary and after the series was taken off for some time, she was re-dubbed in later episodes with a lighter voice. "The Big Explosion" wasn't aired there, but it was later released on DVD, due to changed minds on the scariness factor. All 78 episodes from the first series have been shown on Children's BBC in the United Kingdom, but the sequel series has been completely left out.
In the original Japanese version, Moomin uses two pieces of theme music. From episodes 1-52, the opening theme is "Yume no Sekai he" and the closing theme is "Tooi akogare", both of them having the vocals performed by Emiko Shiratori and composed by Sumio Shiratori. From episodes 53-78, the opening theme is "Omajinai no uta" by Ponpin-tai ~Moomin-dani no Nakamatachi~ and the closing theme is "Itsuka suteki na tabi" by Emiko Shiratori. The sequel series' opening theme is "Hesomagarincho" by Ado Mizumori and Tyrone Hashimoto and the ending recycles the "Itsuka suteki na tabi" theme by Emiko Shiratori. In the versions shown outside Japan, these are all replaced by one opening and one ending theme that are both composed by Dutch songmaker Pierre Kartner.
