It perhaps sometimes goes at the expense of the movie its tension and predictability but so be it. The movie is greatly fun and humorous and makes sure that it never becomes too serious and therefor never really too scary for to watch for young children. It also still has its great and unique moments, such as the part when the comet is about to hit the Earth, which is done surprisingly tense and provides the movie with a good finale. On the way they meet Snufkin, the Hemulen and the Snorks and experience many adventures. Moomin, Sniff and Mee leave for the Observatory on the Lonely Mountains to confirm the Muskrats words: a comet is about to hit Moominvalley and destroy everything. No, the movie doesn't ever surprises at any point but yet the story works out, thanks to its pace and storytelling and really likable characters. Unusual things have been happening in Moominvalley. Right away, however, flowers bloom, and life begins again. The story is simple and it purely relies on its characters and adventurous, though formulaic, elements of the movie. In this version the comet hits Moominvalley dead on, laying the landscape bare. It's a story on its own and can be watched separately from the TV-series. You don't really must have watched an episode of "Moomin" before watching this movie. So the fans of the genre shall surely not be disappointed by this movie. The animation style is typically Japanse and so are all of the characters. Really, what is there not to like about this movie? It's a Japanse animated movie, based on the TV-series "Moomin". Sweet likable characters, an adventurous story. Although this movie is obviously aimed toward children with its story and characters, adults shall also be drawn into the movie and its story.
