The Icelandic singer Björk has composed and performed the title song (Comet Song) for the film Moomins and the Comet Chase (2010). The lyrics were written by the Icelandic writer Sjón. In the early 1950s, Jansson collaborated on Moomin-themed children's plays with Vivica Bandler. By 1958, Jansson began to become directly involved in theater as Lilla Teater produced Troll i kulisserna ( Troll in the wings), a Moomin play with lyrics by Jansson and music composed by Erna Tauro. The production was a success, and later performances were held in Sweden and Norway, [9] including recently at the Malmö Opera and Music Theatre in 2011. [36]

Tove Jansson wrote and illustrated her first Moomin book, The Moomins and the Great Flood (1945), during World War II. She said later that the war had depressed her, and she had wanted to write something naive and innocent. Besides the Moomin novels and short stories, Tove Jansson also wrote and illustrated four original and highly popular picture books. Freud, Esther (7 December 2012).

The story of the Moomins has been made into television series on many occasions by various groups, possibly the most well known of which is a Japanese– Dutch collaboration, that has also produced a feature-length film. However, there are also two Soviet serials, puppet animation Mumi-troll ( Moomintroll) and cutout animation Shlyapa Volshebnika ( Magician's Hat) of three parts each, and the Polish– Austrian puppet animation TV series, The Moomins, which was broadcast and became popular in an edited form in the United Kingdom in the 1980s. In 2000, Moomin's Tale, developed and published by Sunsoft, was released for Game Boy Color. The game is based on the 1990 TV series, where Moomintroll is the game's protagonist. The player goes through six different stories throughout the duration of the game.

Čia jis jau užknisa, skundžiasi ir visą laiką aiškina, kad jei kas blogo nutiks, tai ne jo reikalas, be to, jis dar neturi vardo, tėra mažas padarėlis (the little creature). Galbūt čia dar buvo neaišku, ar tai bus šuniukas / katinėlis, ar kokio kito statuso žvėrelis, ir tik vėliau jis tapo zirziančiu trimečiu bambliu, nu taip maždaug.

Despite the melancholy, Great Flood is still taking the reader towards a good place and we get the ending that we expect and deserve - the family is reunited and all ready to set up home in Moominhouse, which is built in the shape of a round stove, a reference to the stoves that moomintrolls used to live in until the advent of central heating. Despite the suggestions of despair through the story, there is still a consistent thread of reassurance in the shape of Moominmamma - her handbag will nearly always have a solution and her arms are always open to any creature in distress. There are times when even as an adult I would love to have someone like her to turn to.
