I'm a little confused--apparently, some Finnish film studio has already made one Moomin movie (based on the fantastic series by Finnish novelist and artist Tove Jansson) and is working on a second, due out this fall. However, this article suggests that the "new" films are actually remastered and re-voiced versions of the vintage Polish-Austrian TV series, while this one seems to think the upcoming film an entirely (or at least mostly?) original product.

Either way: music by Bjork! Stellan and Alexander Skarsgard doing the voice acting! None of those people are Finnish, but we'll take 'em anyhow.
