Euro-produced family movie lined up for December 2017 release.
Poland’s Animoon and Finland’s Filmkompaniet have confirmed plans for a new holiday themed feature, Moomins at Christmas, set for release in December 2017.
The company previously worked on 2010 feature Moomins and the Comet Chase, which was released in 3D and distributed in more than 80 countries.
The new film, which also counts Animoon as a partner, is based on Moomin creator Tove Jansson’s classic books, with a screenplay from Małgorzata Więckowicz-Żyła, Piotr Szczepanowicz and Ira Carpelan.
Producers are Grzegorz Waclawek and Piotr Szczepanowicz for Animoon, with executive producers Ira Carpelan and Tom Carpelan for Filmkompaniet.
The film will be created from existing, vintage footage from the stop-motion productions originally coproduced by Jupiter Film and Film Polski in the 1980s.
The footage will be edited and restored to 4K quality alongside newly created opening titles and credits.
The story follows Moomintroll as he decides to stay awake and explore...
