Moominvalley (Finnish: Muumilaakso, Swedish: Mumindalen, also known as just Moomin) is a 2019 Finnish-British animated family drama musical series. An adaptation of the classic Moomin books and comics by 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 episodes of the series.
The tremendously popular series is Finland's most expensive TV 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.
