MUUMIEN JOULU (MOOMINS AND THE WINTER WONDERLAND)

Watchable. Most suitable for nursery-age children: there's lots of talking but the storyline is very simple. Looks like the animation is made of muppets on a painted background. The Polish narrator, Piotr Fronczewski, speaks in a fairy-tale-telling manner which is a bit distracting but adds Christmas charm to the cute story. Aimed at those who know the characters already but if you don't remember them it's still OK. Perfect for December as it's about all sorts of creatures making preserves for winter, cleaning, hosting friends and learning what winter is and how to celebrate Christmas Eve. Northern Lights provide extra magic in the lovely, peaceful tale.

Seen in the comfort of my local Cinema City.
