Cambridge Moomin Appreciation Society

Well, if someone can talk about the "chocolate society", I thought I'd get this burning question off my chest...

Does there exist a Cambridge Moomin Appreciation Society?

Let's face it - the Moomins *were* the best carton ever - bar none!

I can settle for a Superted Appreciation Society, if that also exists :bebored:

I agree. The cartoon was a pile of arse.
The books were obviously masterworks of literature however

In fact, there is a list of societies online somewhere. I believe there isn't a Moomin one, although perhaps there should be. On a somehat similar note, there is a Winnie-the-Pooh Society. And the obligatory Monty Python and Tolkein appreciation Socs. And "Sheila and her Dog", a society for reading children's books in silly voices.

So long as there's demand for the society, I'd imagine... hehehe.

The moomins used to completely scare the crap out of me. I used to sit there on the sofa on saturday mornings and watch, too petrified to turn it off. :frown:

It was the witch that did it. And the river when he put the hat in and it made a special drink, and when they went to that cave in the boat.... :frown:

Awwwwwwwwwwwww you were scared of the mooooomins!!!!! Aww bless! - I used to love them - so did my sister! Still sorta do! :biggrin:

They're cute! I watched one episode in Japanese once I think, but most of the ones I watched were in Chinese :biggrin:

Although that episode on the snow queen was a lil scary I used to be scared of the snow queen that appeared on the Moomins :frown:

the creepy little girl with the pointed hat and nose was the scariest!
i went to moomin land on holiday a few years ago (finland) and they're obsessed - moomin merchandise everywhere.
as far as cartoons go, it was pretty good, a bit gentler and more pastel-coloured than your average hyperactive-surreal-brightly-coloured-shapes modern rubbish.

#They love the laughter and they love the living, the Moooooooooooooomins,
They're always happy and always at play, the Mooooooooooooomins are having fun day after day,
they were The Mooooooooooomins, they were The Moooooooooooooomins, they were The Moooooooooooomins#

I have a friend who looks like a moomin too! :biggrin:

Sadly, he disagrees with this fact.

I loved them, especially the theme tune!

Which girl was that? - you on about that really short girl with a pointed big nose and red dress? How's she scary??? :confused:

That monster that comes out sometimes I don't like him :frown:

he's all fat and blue-purpley-grey and it goes "heeeeeeeee" with a massive triangular nose :frown:

And Takemetoavalon lol there *were* "scary" bits I suppose - there was this one where moomin and his girlfriend/friend were sitting on a water-lily and the naughty kid that looks like a kiwi had released a giant snake on them :frown:

even though I like snakes :p:
