Changes: Mumindalen (1973 TV series)

Latest revision as of 21:20, 2 May 2019

Moominvalley (Swedish: Mumindalen), was a Swedish national television Christmas advent calendar program aired in 1973, based on the Moomin books by Tove Jansson. The series was directed by Pi Lind and Ingegerd Lönnroth. The series portrayed the characters with mime actors in suits, who where then dubbed over by voice actors. Moominvalley received good reviews in the press. 1973 was the first year the Christmas show was shown on channel 2, a channel not everyone in Sweden could watch at that time. It was also the first time that it was not the same calendar aired on television and radio.

Instead of the usual flaps the other TV tie-in calendars used, this year's calendar had stickers corresponding to each episode of the show. A demonstration was aired every day to show what sticker to use for the day and where on the calendar to place it.

The show was dubbed in Finnish and rebroadcast in 1994.

On 26 October 2005, the television series was released on DVD.
