What happens

Moominvalley (Finnish: Muumilaakso, Swedish: Mumindalen, also known as just Moomin) is a British-Finnish animated family drama television series. An adaptation of the Moomin books and comics by Finnish writer-illustrator Tove Jansson and her brother Lars Jansson, it is created using new techniques in 3D CGI. Finnish production company Gutsy Animations ran a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo from 8 March to 21 April 2017. The campaign was organised in order to raise funds towards visual development of the series. Animation company Anima Vitae was appointed as the lead animation company for the first two seasons of the series. The series is Finland's most expensive television show with a €20 million budget. In 2019, the series' first episode was the most watched program on Finnish national broadcaster Yle's streaming service Yle Areena. The series became the most watched show ever on Yle Areena and the most watched television series of 2019 in the whole of Finland. The series has 16 million streams on Yle Areena.
