the 90s version was literally the only version that made me cry. it's all in the voice actor's performance, the way Moomin says 'Mama' and starts sobbing. killed me. the 2019 version as a whole is great but I really don't think the 90s one can be beat.

[@sketch-eee4165]

90s felt like it came from the perspective of a child who just wanted their mom to recognize him. While the 19 one was more like an older moomin who was sad but understood if his mom didn't recognized him but momma knows best.

[@blllklbn4055]

[@ravenwashere1776]

The 90s version is certainly the most heart wrenching in my opinion. It's like coming out and begging your friends and family that you're still the same person they've grown to know and love. I'm very fortunate I was able to come out to my mom and godmother in a safe place, but I do worry I may have to explain everything to my father, who's a bit more traditional (Asian and Christian, double whammy) and, while I know he'll likely be supportive if not a little confused, this scene illustrates my fears about what could happen. Moomin Mama being so certain that this fluffy, strange beast is indeed her son is unbelievably wholesome and it makes me want to cry. Her voice is so soothing as well, it's like being wrapped in a warm blanket.

I had no idea this scene was in every version, that's wonderful! Moominmamma truly is the best mom.

[@imthecoolestguyalive]

I think every version of these scenes is good in its own very different way. The seventies' version is very dramatised, but Moominmama immediately recognises her son without issue, and rushes to defend him from the jerk that shoved him so rudely. It's kind of a speedrun of the scene, but wholesome nonetheless. The Bri'ish stop-motion iteration is pretty chill and laid-back, also basically a speedrun of the scene, but it's just because Moomintroll is revealed in seconds flat, and, honestly, a bigger highlight for me is how Moominmama breaks out the fight by pulling the kids out of the limb pile they became. As many have already pointed out, the nineties' one shows a terrified sobbing child, who _can't_ calm down anymore, because nobody recognises him. It was probably the longest it took Moominmama to recognise her child, which made this scene all the more heartbreaking, as Moomintroll was pleading her to see him, clearly struggling against the tears, and only calming down once recognised. The voice actors delivered the calm and nurturing "Calm down, sweetie, let me see where it hurts." kind tone Moominmama has here, and the barely coherent crying mess that Moomin was forced into. And then there's this 3D version, where, as before, Moomin is swiftly recognised, but he looks like he almost lost hope that even his own Mother would see him. She does so very soon, and he looks so relieved, as if he can't even believe that someone saw him as himself. It was super wholesome and cozy. Also Little My stepping away from Moominpapa as he offered her a hug was hilarious.

[@ash64181]

God why couldn't moominmama be out mama too, we'd have zero trauma

[@Antifearn]

The 1990 version of this scene is my favorite take from the story. The emotion in the English voice acting and the tenderness make it feel like a scene from a Studio Ghibli film, and I love how stretched out and slow it’s pacing is to give Moominmama time to thing and embrace her son in her arms. I wish you included the take from the 1980 Soviet version since it’s the worst one. Moominmama (who looks like an ugly trophy wife rather than a loving mother) doesn’t even hug Moomin or talk to him when he gets beat up. She creepily stares into the camera and talks to the audience. The 1959 puppet show (one of my favorite Moomin adaptations) also had its own take in it’s retelling of Finn Family Moomintroll. In that one, Moomin and Moominmama still have an emotional interaction, but Moomin actually transforms back to his normal self after jumping into the hat again, likely because the show didn’t have the technology or practicalities to have a magical transition like the animated ones.

I know others have made the comparison to coming out, and fearing that the people you love won’t love you anymore. But this reminded me so much of when I recently came out to my parents. I knew they would support me, but I’d been carrying this secret for over a decade, and I was so nervous I felt like I was gonna faint. And then my mom just came over and hugged me, and said they’d always love me, and that they had had their suspicion for a while. And I just started sobbing into her arms. I love you, mom ❤

it's fascinating how all four scenes are supposed to be the same moment in four diferent adaptations of the same story, but aside from "moomin child has been turned into a troll and only goes back to normal when his mother recognizes him", they have almost nothing in common. tone, art style/technique, setting, who is present in the scene, how the tranformed moomin behaves... even the return to normal is never the same. it's like they were committed to make it really different every time.

[@snufkin392]

I met Moomins only 2 years ago, and when I first watched 2019 (sorry me it's not 1990) film adaptation, i did not attach serious importance to it. But this year, i admit, when i rewatched s02e06 episode the other day, i just couldn’t hold back my tears, and i just cried at that moment 😭🥺 I also decided to rewatch the same episode tonight and I was just trying to hold myself back from crying, it’s a very heartbreaking, cute and sad thing I saw in 2019 episodes 😭😭🥺🥺 But I may have cried with this episode last year, but only this year the hardest! *The confession scene is shown more dramatically and sadder than anything else in 1990 and 2019!* But I know that thousands of rotten tomatoes will fly at me, I’ll take a risk - in 2019 this is shown extremely dramatically and I’m just crying and moved from this scene
