The builders of Lego are making a trip to Moomin Valley today – with permission. So the program can officially bring stories to life Moomin and the sea, Dangerous midsummer, Magic winter, Magician’s hat mixed Comet in Moominland. A collaboration has been agreed with Moomin Characters. Artistic director Sophia Jansson also seen in the episode.

Sometimes the company has had to interfere in one way or another with the unauthorized use of moomins. This was the case, for example, with Dancing with the Stars on the same channel when Jenni Poikelus and Sami Helenius appeared as Little My and Snuff. Maikkari has clearly learned from last autumn’s violation and the Moomins are not brought to TV without permission.

The buzz also rose in 2017. At that time, Moomin figures in the spirit of Tom of Finland were versioned in Image magazine, even without permission.

Among other things, the magician’s hat party will be created in the evening’s episode. MTV3

However, tonight’s Lego Masters Finland period will not cause any laundry. Judge Sophia Jansson even agrees to a small tweak to Mörö’s character. Usually Mörö’s nose is used to being seen in black. Now it’s purple.

– That Mörkö is just as good as that. It must be remembered that Tove was not always consistent in the illustrations. I think Mörkö can be like that too, he refers to his aunt Tove to Jansson.

Moomin’s trademark protection is strong. MTV3
