A 3D stop motion animation cobbled together from a Polish TV series from the 1980s, restored and revoiced by a panoply of estimable Swedish actors for the English-language version, including Max Von Sydow and Stellan Skarsgård, this is a welcome reminder of a time in animation before the twin curses of emotionally autistic anime and lazily excessive use of CGI. Moomintroll is on a quest with his friends to find out if a comet seemingly heading straight for them spells doom, and it may not have much to impart in the way of substance as such, but it does have a wonderfully calming air that all ADHD-afflicted modern children's animation would do well to learn from.
