Publications
The ORF broadcast episodes 1 to 13 from November 15, 1980 and episodes 14 to 26 from November 7, 1982 in the afternoon program. ZDF followed on November 27, 1980 and February 10, 1983.
Some episodes were later cut together to make movies and so reused. From the 2000s onwards, role-based dialogues replaced the old one-narrator technique. The images for these films are digitally processed. That is the case with The Moomins - Crazy Summer Days in Moomin Valley (2008) and The Moomins - On Comet Hunt (2010).
An uncut German version in 78 episodes (7 DVDs) was released in 2004 by the Trickkiste label.
