Movie prequel to the 1990 anime. Based on the second book "Comet in Moominland".
Tanoshii Muumin Ikka
TV, 1990, 78 eps Me:- Author:9
Most well-known and most successful adaptation of Moomin franchise. This is the version most people have watched as well. It's mostly based on the 3rd book onwards, although it takes some of its stories from the comic strips, and adds a few original stories as well. The series is available on Youtube in the official Moomin channel (English Dubbed).

2019's version has its character design based on the 1990's anime, although it is not considered anime so it isn't part of this list for obvious reasons. The 1990 cast also dubbed the japanese dub of the 2014 non-anime film Moomins in the Riviera, as well as appearing in most CMs featuring Moomin Characters.
