Comet in Moominland

Moomintroll sets off on a dangerous quest to find out about the Comet that threatens Moominvalley, finds some new friends to help him, and has many adventures along the way.

Reuniting the same team that brought you Moominland Midwinter, John Finnemore reprises his role as Moomintroll, and Samantha Bond narrates.

We return to Moominvalley for another story concerning the Moomins, in which Moomintroll sets off on a quest to discover the truth about the Comet. He meets new friends, has exciting adventures, and faces up to what looks like it might be the end of the world, but still finds time for some late-night dancing and a few cups of palm wine.
