With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for book lovers and people who still love a bit of magic. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes. Same wavelength as The Little Prince.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 58 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Polish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Based on episodes of the series "Moomin Stories", the Moomins reminisce about the fondest moments of their lives. Moominpappa reminisces about his childhood; Moomintroll reminisces about how he, Sniff, and Snufkin set out to find out if Earth was truly threatened by a comet; and Moominmamma reminisces about the incredible visit of aliens from outer space.
