Moomintroll wakes in the middle of winter, when the rest of his family are hibernating, and Moominvalley is deep in snow. Anxious and alone, he is forced to venture out into a frozen world, where he has to find new friends, cope with new dangers, and learn to live in a new and hostile environment.

Comet in Moominland [2023]

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.

Moominsummer Madness [2025]

A tsunami strikes Moominvalley, and fleeing the ensuing flood the Moomin family find refuge on a floating theatre - an event which feels perfectly natural in the wonderful world of the Moomins. Together with some new acquaintances, they try to make sense of this strange building, which to begin with is completely outside their understanding.
