[@Aliff_zachery]

same

[@shwarmi9143]

Even though the footage is the same, I feel like, for the Groke, there should be a seperate entry of the 90s show for the English/Finish version. The Japanese version in the video is as is, but when the footage was sent over for dubbing in English and Finish, the coloring was way darker. As a result, the Groke often was depicted as so dark she merged into the shadows, you could barely tell where her nose was, and her eyes and mouth were a near stark white. It was terrifying in a way that the Japanese coloring version can't quite compare to, being so much lighter, even though the footage is the same

[@juhapeura583]

That is true.

[@essisaloheimo3700]

yes!! As a kid watching the finnish version, it was so horrofying also because of this and the voice

[@vandamme6379]

[@Kim_Kardashi-un]

I’m from Chile, a spanish-speaking country in South America, when the 1990 animation was dubbed into Latin American Spanish about the mid-late 90’s I don’t know why the coloration of the animation was even darker and contrasted, so imagine how scary it was, I remember to don’t be able to sleep for a week when I first saw The Groke, I was like 3-4 years old so in my mind I couldn’t tell exactly what that thing I was watching was, and it took me many years to look for it on the internet just to realise that The Groke was actually a pretty gentle lady that just happen to love the night and the snow, and now I love her 🖤🖤🖤

[@beckyhartley9502]

I remember seeing the Finnish version and I remember her coming out of the dark, I used to watch horror movies as kid with gory, blood, death... You name it which didn't phase me but the Groke absolutely terrified me. I didn't know why but I think it's because she's not intentionally trying to harm anyone and she's just lonely.

[@kacmac2340]

[@profesorinkwizytor4838]

Ciekawostka: w języku rosyjskim istnieje słowo "бука", również wymawiane [buka], które to oznacza "potwora" lub "straszydło", zwłaszcza takie, którym straszy się niegrzeczne dzieci (podobnie jak np. angielski "boogeyman"), ew. osobę gburowatą i nieprzyjemną. Nie wiadomo jednak, czy polska Buka ma etymologicznie cokolwiek wspólnego z owym rosyjskim słowem (z kolei w samej Rosji postać Buki nazywa się "Морра" [morra] lub "Мурра" [murra], co jest najpewniej po prostu transkrypcją nazwy szwedzkiej pozbawionej końcówki "-n" będącej rodzajnikiem określonym) - chociażby dlatego, żę polskie imię "Buka" najpewniej pochodzi od czasownika "buczeć" (analogicznie do angielskiego "the Groke" - od "growl" i szwedzkiego "Maarran" - od "morra")

I grew up with the 90's version of Moomin and I admit: for me, there was no monster scarier than the Groke (or Urr in my native language). I mean, a shadowy figure with such piercing gaze and creepy grin, plus the eerie music... What more do you need? I was actually afraid, playing in my garden during winter's evenings that the Groke (Urr) might be sneaking around somewhere.

[@3nu570]

I watched the 90s version as a kid and still to this day I'm absolutely terrified of groke. That grin and the eerie music that plays when she shows up is pure nightmare fuel. I think the scenes in this video aren't even the scariest. That episode where the moomins are waiting for her to arrive and Sniff (is that his name in English?) chickens out and tries to go home but groke is already behind the door and it zooms in on her face is forever burned into my mind, that was terrifying.

Watched it as a child in the 90s, then later reruns when I was 13 in the early 00s. I remembered the groke but nothing specific, and I was very excited about seeing the episodes with her again. Turned out she was a repressed childhood trauma (specific memories erased from my mind) and I almost got a panic attack when she emerged, pressure over my chest, extreme anxiety etc, from a cartoon at 13 years of age. Then came about a year of nightmares where I was chased by her, hiding at different places arming myself, waiting. I still remember the end of one where I was cornered in a room with a CO2 gun shooting at her as she was walking towards me and it had no effect. Tried to tell my dad about that one one evening but had to stop as I was about to puke.

[@InneoTV]

Polish version was the most terrifying. They did a masterpiece with the sound. I was traumatized as a kid but mostly because of her voice. Compared to PL version Groke in Swedish or Finnish seems not scary at all.
