The Moomins: Delightful Moomin Family) is an anime series based on the Moomin series of books by Finnish illustrator and writer Tove Jansson and produced by Telecable Benelux B.V. between 1990-1992. In all, 104 episodes were made. The series helped to create the "Moomin boom" of the '90s and became one of the 2 most well known of numerous series based on the books (the other being The Moomins) Unlike the '80s The Moomins series, however, which was often criticised for being a dark and at times rather scary series for children, this version was hailed as being milder and much more accessible and likeable than its predecessor, although this adaptation was itself criticised for being less faithful to Tove Jansson's original stories than the '80s series.[citation needed] This series was followed by a sequel Delightful Moomin Family: Adventure Diary and the movie Comet in Moominland, based on the book by the same name. The series has been aired in many countries outside Japan
