Controversy
After taking their children to watch the movie in theaters In Finland, parents/guardians felt that the use of alcohol and gambling was not appropriate for the younger members of the family. The movie is --as mentioned above-- almost identical to Tove Jansons original comic's, which where not entitled for children. With the success of the Moomin Anime in 1990 among younger children, the guardians assumed that the movie would be in a similar style; appropriate for children. A poll on the Finnish newspaper Iltalehti's website showed that the majority believed that the whole accusation was ridiculous.[1]
