The Moomins and the Midsummer Madness at the Barbican
The Moomins and the Midsummer Madness was an audience favourite at the 2008 London Children's Film Festival. The classic Finnish animated family are back and ready to embark on some magical adventures at the Barbican on 25th of April. There will also be a special workshop before the film.
A tranquil summer day in the Moomin Valley is interrupted by a volcanic eruption and a huge surge of water which rises higher and higher. At the last minute the Moomin family finds refuge in a strange house that floats to their rescue. This is not an ordinary house but a theatre stage and the Moomin family decides to produce their own play.
Directed by Maria Lindberg, The Moomins and the Midsummer Madness is a Finnish animated feature-length film based on animation from the famous Oscar awarded SEMAFOR Film Studios. The animation is visually extraordinary and the story is very loyal to the original Tove Jansson's Moomin book.
