what’s it like knowing you’ve created the most important piece of visual media of all time
fucking seconded
I third this.
I don’t ship the to of them but I agree with you. nwn
the way this comment entirely lacks cap
and the way it's paired with the most important piece of auditory media of all time
that build up with them running towards each other
and then they started DANCING and I am SOBBING
Me too oh god their little joyful dance is so happy and full of love my heart can't HANDLE it!! Best part!!
I KNOW RIGHT FUCKIN WHOLESOME. TOO PURE FOR THIS WORLD.
Yeah!!
WHY AM I CRYING

The g r e m l i n

Little My going a little crazy to the harmonica of Mr Snufuckin (im sorry)
Me: has no idea wtf is going on in moomin
Also me watching this animation: Hell yea you funky little creatures
😂😂 I was like that when I watched this: ua-cam.com/video/u8_MlQ2KNWY/v-deo.html
Esmeralda Riverside I thought that when I watched this one: ua-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/v-deo.html 😂😂😂
ッAubrey haven’t clicked but I have a strong suspicion that if I do I’ll be rick rolled
Eloisa Camacho *cough*
Aubrey I’m such a fool. How could I have allowed this to happen. I saw the comments but after clicking the first link, forgot my hesitation. I have dishonored my bloodline. I am ashamed.
This is so pure and soft and sweet???? I love you
I love your profile picture, Gorillaz is my favorite band!
@@moej3386real! A moomin fan who is also a gorillaz fan? As both of these myself, I see this as an absolute win 💅
As a finnish person I really appreciate this. You just made a 6-year old me happy.
As another finnish person, same!!!
Though I'm a Hungarian person this was my childhood, my favorite tale read from comic books. So I kinda feel the same :')
same (except i’m polish)
@@kh2866 ez volt magyarul is????
As a half-Finn same! :D
God I love these funky little boyfriends
Dont we all
Bromance is love in a trenchcoat
Light JSKDJDJDJ
Funky boyfriends!!!!! Love them!!!!!
Same, they're one of my otp's
okay, a few things i loved
1) your transitions! the hat? the way snufkin turns and it’s him walking out of moomin valley? poetic cinema.
2) snufkin’s grin when he’s standing at the window??? he’s so smitten! i’m weak!
3) moomin running down the hill so fast that he stumbles??? cute cute cute!
4) their lil dance!! dancing kings, young and sweet, only *mumbles*teeeeeeen!!
5) moomin grabbing snufkin’s hat. that’s all.
6) them holding hands. i’m gay.
and, overall, you just have a good feel for beat and how to show it in animatics and art, which is very fun to watch. also, i feel like most moomin fan art focuses on moomin’s pov. which is totally fine and often stellar, but i love that you chose to look at how snufkin feels about moomin instead of the other way around. this was a good animatic and i’ve watched it like five times.
this is such a thoughtful comment, thank you so much!! I agree, I feel that moomin's feelings are loud and clear, whereas Snufkin's are a little more hidden to the untrained eye but not any less sincere and I wanted to show that :)
Jamie Woolley You did a great job showing that! I absolutely agree that Snufkin’s feelings are a little more subtle and he doesn’t portray them as openly, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t strong or there! In conclusion: Snufkin is gay and he loves one (1) moomin.
I laughed at the *mumbles*teen part xD.
i love everything about this animation and echo Levi's comments 💜
Wow you're a mind reader!
Scarcely has there ever been a friendship more romantic and wholesome than that of Moomin and Snufkin. I can't help but cry every time I see something of them together; they are so sweet, whether you see them as friends or more. This tribute was particularly beautiful.
I watched this video and went down a moomin rabbit hole and now I’m four episodes into moomin valley and I’m literally so invested I didn’t even watch the original moomin series as a kid or anything but it’s so wholesome I love it so much thank you for introducing me to it
I will probably be falling down that hole too because of *this*
Tundra Roo well did u? Because I sure did
I've watched moomin as a baby. I can't watch moominvalley yet, though. I'm watching the moomins (which would probably be better, cause from what I seen, the new one DOES seem good, but it doesn't seem like moomin.) Me and my family would go into the forest to look for moomins
@Fluffy Apples I'd actually still be doing that if there were any good forests where I live now
madison where do I watch moomin valley it sounds good
This made me so happy I just gained 12 hp
i'm crying in the god damn moominhouse right now
The best thing is that I can imagine Moominvalley 2019 putting this song in a scene about Snufkin and Moomin xD The animatic was super sweet! Specially the part where they hug and dance
Yes! exactly!

Oh my god I love this. Not only the animation's fluidity, but Moomin and Snufkin's expressions and just emotions...I smiled so much watching this lol. This also makes me wonder if Moominvalley 2019 will have any gay energy between these two?
@@BloodInTheStrawberries I know I've watched the 1990 show
@@BloodInTheStrawberries Where?
Oh it's in Finland and UK only...I'll have to search online lol
Oh it is. 3 episodes in and the gay energy between the two is already off the charts.
@@catscanhavelittleasalami Pfft..so where did you guys find it?
Excuse me this is wonderful and amazing. Not only the animation, filled with love, sweetness, and desire, but the song which I didn't know even existed until I saw this on Tumblr. This is love lol. This is one of the most beautiful and joyous things I've ever seen. Keep doing what you're doing!
this single animatic changed my brain chemistry four years ago
i thought my heart was gonna spontaneously combust watching this......it's so charming and the song choice kinda makes me wanna die but in a good way? it's perfect congrats
Oh man, I know that feeling! I completely agree 🙏
mood
IM CRYING REAL TEARS OF JOY THIS IS TOO WHOLESOME I LOVE IT
Thank you for making having eyes worth it
Snufkin was the person who made me accept that I was trans because I thought I was too quiet and effeminate to be a boy but then I saw that he was far more shy than I was and that made me feel seen
This is the same reason I am a transwoman, haha! /lh
Seeing a lot of myself in Snufkin made me realize that even with an androgynous voice, it doesn't matter because I get to be who I want to be at the end of the day.
Moomin is such a loving story and cartoon. Forever will love both. Tove would be so proud. /gen
Yessss I love seeing so many other trans folks identifying with Snufkin! It almost feels like we've got our own little gender lol
*ok everyone talks about Moomin caching snufkins hat but is anyone gonna talk bout the heart cloud and MOOMIN POINTING THAT OUT @* 0:08
‘do you know what it would be like to live in someone else’s shoes?’
‘..uncomfortable.’
I love absolutely everything about this but some of my favorites
-Snufkin’s little smile while he’s at the window
-THOSE TRANSITIONS (I especially liked the hat!)
-you can feel the excitement building when they start running towards each other
-Moomin’s little stumble while he’s running down the hill (clumsy boy)
-THE DANCE!!!
snufkin is so obviously smitten by moomin
I ACTUALLY STARTED CRYING WHILE WATCHING THIS...THIS IS HONESTLY ALL I WANT IN LIFE. I WANT WHAT THEY HAVE...
OP YOU DID SUCH A FANTASTIC JOB CONGRATS THIS IS INCREDIBLE
Zihette IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY TOO EVEN THOUH I’M ALREADY IN LOVE 😭
@@margotm5817 IM HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVER
mooD!! i relate to snufkin lots and i have self confidence issues, so seeing snufkin having so many good friendships (coUgh cough and gAy) makes me feel like i have a chance too!! i love the moomins so much it makes me emOtional??
@@bugpopss OK MOOD MOOD HUGE MOOD I grew up with moomins myself (being european n all) and seeing theres so many great characters people can relate to fills my heart with so much joy...
@UCcicetf5HSWyGeNbpdANSSQ MEMEMEMEMME YOU WILL SOON ENOUGH..... YOU CANT JUST SIT AROUND AND WAIT FOR IT U HAVE TO GO OUT AND FIND IT.... I AM CRYING
this video was specifically designed to decimate my heart i cant handle this. im crying op i love you
OP got me full on sobbing at 2am in the morning. My roommate is concerned. This is so beautiful I can't even rewatch it immediately, I need at least an hour to process all the emotions before i come back
This video no joke was my first introduction to mitski back in 2019 and I ave loved mitski ever since and just came back to the moomin fandom now to thank you years later
mine too lmaoo but it was in 2020, i looped this song so much back then
The Moomins aren't very well known in Brazil, so I remember first reading about them in a graphic novel by Pénélope Bagieu (Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World). The book tells the stories of many incredible women, and Tove was one of them. The illustrations were very cute, and Tove's story was specially beautiful. She put pieces of her life in her work, and even created Too-Ticky, a character modelled after Tuulikki, her wife/life partner. Remembering her story, I teared up watching the video. It's such a lovely tribute, you did a great job!
ikkk,,, it makes things more sweeter while watching when u remember that
this video gives me that sickly sweet happy feeling you get in your throat when your so undoubtedly smitten that it makes you want to be sick. I have watched this countless times and i have not stopped smilling.
*Strawberry Blond*
_Lyrics_
I love everybody
Because I love you
When you stood up
Walked away, barefoot
And the grass where you lay
Left a bed in your shape
I looked over it
And I ached
I love everybody
Because I love you
I don't need the city, and I
Don't need proof
All I need, darling
Is a life in your shape
I picture it, soft
And I ache
Look at you, strawberry blond
Reach out the car window
Trying to hold the wind
You tell me you love her;
I give you a grin
Oh all I ever wanted was a
Life in your shape
So I follow the white lines
Follow the while lines
Keep my eyes on the road
As I ache
Look at you, strawberry blond
Fields rolling on
I love it when you call my name
Can you hear the bumblebees swarm?
Watching your arm
I love it when you look my way
Look at you, strawberry blond
Fields rolling on
I love it when you call my name
Can you hear the bumblebees swarm?
Watching your arm
I love it when you look my way
Look at you, strawberry blond
Fields rolling on
I love it when you call my name
Can you hear the bumblebees swarm?
Watching your arm
I love it when you look my way
Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah
Muchas gracias!!!
God I've watched this over and over again and 0:45 gets me every time bc it's the one-time Snufkin smiles at Moomin and it doesn't quite reach his eyes and I'M CRYING
This is so good the amount of detail you put into every scene is amazing and beautiful
I almost cried ACK this is so wholesome. It reminds me of being a kid.
This is 100% one of the most Tender animations, if not The most tender, i have ever seen in my life and i am sobbing. Just.. God there's such a genuine Warmth and Love and Yearning to the vibe of this and i am feeling A Great Many Things because of it.
Honestly just, my utmost compliments to you on this absolutely beautiful piece of animation, you've made something that expresses such pure, genuine, and raw emotion in the best of ways and does so more eloquently and gracefully than most big budget animations i've seen in a long while. This is truly so evocative despite, and dare i say partly because of, it's wonderful simplicity. You accomplish such a distinct and wonderful vibe in such a seemingly-simple way, and honestly it's fantastic.
Now if you'll excuse me i'm going to be playing this on a loop and sobbing because this is so goddamned fantastic and sweet (and it makes me think of my girlfriend, which only makes it even more sweet to me fghgfdlk)
Thank you so much for such a lovely & thoughtful comment 💖💖💖💖
why am i crying in the club rn
Are you sure you are not panicking at the disco?...
You're not the only one...*sniff*
two words: poetic cinema
HOLY CRAP THIS IS SO GOOD!! It brings me back to when I used to watch this with my muumu and she would point to muumi(moomin) and snufkin and go "If they aren't in love what's the point". :D (except in super broken english) but still ah my goodness nostalgia.
so like. if someone wanted to-love me like snufkin and moomin love each other-that would be cool. thank you.
Oh my god I owe you my life
Ok... the little stumble and the run and T H E D A N C E I’m sobbing like omfg it’s absolutely amazing
the transition of “you tell me you love her, i give you a grin” aND ITS MOOMIN HOLDING THE SHELL AND SNUFKIN JUST SMILES SOFTLY AT HIM AND TURNS AND THEN ITS HIM WALKING OUT OF MOOMIN VALLEY IM S O B B I N G
I watch this at LEAST once a week. It’s the most beautiful thing I have. It makes me cry each time.
i've seen like a thousend Snufmin animatics but this one... actually made me cry, i dunno why. Maybe it was the song or the drawing style or the softness or all of them at once
aahhh i loved when they ran to each other and started going in circles while holding hands!! this whole thing is so sweet!
This video introduced me to both Moomin and Mitski and I have never been the same
Nearly forgot my daily ritual of watching this 20 times
No one:
Absolutely nobody:
Nobody in the universe:
This animatics music: 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Okay when they were running down the hill and Snufkin just looked so happy to see Moomin and moomin got all determined to hug him and they started dancing I am losing my shit I love this
I have no idea who these little guys are but they’re so frickin adorable
The way you draw Snufkin's smile when he's with Moomin is so soft and bright and loving and BEAUTIFUL! I love it SO much!
help why did this video save me in sophomore year of high school? (im a college freshman now, if that's any consolation of how long it's been)
I ship them so hard but also enjoy their beautiful friendship
This ship has always had a good vibe
just came back to reminisce the first time I discovered Strawberry Blonde by being blessed with snufmin content.
This gives me such a profound sense of peace and joy to the point that I literally cry everytime I think about it
me, tears leaking out of my eyes: this this is beautiful
THIS IS SO GORGEOUS!!!! I wish it could be fully animated--like, with the Ghibli-level of detail that this deserves! Everything fits so perfectly!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING about it!!!!!!!! How he turns around and then walks away into the snow!!! THIS IS SO GOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm coming back after 2 years to cry over how perfect this animatic is
edit: 3 years on, still absolute perfection
same here, it really is soo good
This is too perfect to be real. I would pay anything to see this animated.
MITSKI AND MOOMIN....... I'M.............. THANK YOU FOR THIS
It's as if this song was composed for them 😭❤️ I love you sooo much
i'm going to start sobbing. this is the most important piece of content on the internet.
at 0:35 i literally screeched at the top of my lungs. the framing in this is so powerful. i love them. thank you for giving them such fantastic life oh my GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. ROMANCE ISN'T DEAD
I love their relationship so much!!!
After watching this animatic a few months ago, I became interested in books!! It's so precious 💗
This is the purest form of being in love I've ever seen. No reasons, no adventure that pulled you together, made you close or forced your company. Just two souls falling in love.
This video is like injecting serotonin directly into my brain, thank you!
I don't know enough about this show to ship anything, but dear lord this, this was beautiful. So soft, so pure makes my cold little heart melt.
hello the world is hell and this is one of like 5 things that makes me happy thank you
I LOVE THIS SO FUCKING MUCH ITS SO CUTE TY FOR MY LIFE
I’m so glad this showed up in my recommendations! I never watched this cartoon as a kid and yet I couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia while watching this! It was so well made and you deserve so much credit for this! Well done!
I love seeing people who also watched Moomins as kids. People from literally all over the world, watching different translations but all are in the same fandom since diapers i assume
here to share: several times now, I’ve read a comment or author’s note that says, « i was inspired by this, and of course, this classic » (or something like that), with a link that leads right back here. This is exactly how things should be!!
The transitioning between different moments of the animation is actually godlike 👌🏻
thank you!
THIS MY FRIENDS BRINGS ME THE GREATEST JOYS
It is 4:32 pm on a Wednesday and I am grinning like an absolute fool
This video is literally what first got me interested in both the moomins and mitski thank you for putting so much goodness into my life :’)
I come back to this video at least two times a day, this is just so cute!!
I think you don't really know how much I OWE you my life rn
Like
This is so blessed I,, I can't even
Edit: wow I've watched this again after waiting a few more episodes of Moomin and I've ended up practically crying this is just so beautiful 😔💞💞💞
We all know that Snufkin was never the third wheel, Snoerkmaiden was
my favorite mitski song and my favorite characters???? i am Overjoyed
thank you holy shit i'm so happy and soft
STILL THE PINNACLE OF MEDIA
I have so much to say about this lovely animatic! What a wonderful combination! Your art has perfectly nuanced their expressions and has some really lovely movement, I really admire how you've created their characters so well in their faces and actions, it's so well done. This song is also a really great fit for your art and you've paced it super well! There's something so perfect about this song for Snuf and Moomin - it sounds so happy and dance-worthy but the lyrics hold traces of something else - exactly as the characters do, and I really love the scenarios you paired with each verse. The "ache" verses particularly hit me hard, and altogether I really felt that Snufkin came through really well. Overall, great job!
*SOBBING UNCONTROLLABLY*
SOMEONE BE THE SNUFKIN TO MY MOOMIN TROLL
OH MOOD EXCEPT THE OTHER WAY AROUND AHSHDNFNFNHSJA
everybody who saw this anime knows that if snuffking asked moomin to go with him to travel the world he would shoose to go with him...... he always prefers to be with him that everyone else...... its like his ideal of the coolest person ever
Moomin sería capaz de ir? Viajar puede ser peligroso ¡Por su amor puede todo!
*This was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life!*
Especially the part where they started dancing had me almost crying!(really)
The animation..
..The song..
..The artstyle..
..Everything is just- *WOW!*
You made my day!!!
I love this so much but the only thing I began to think of was “Bold of you to assume moomin goes through the door instead of the window to see snufkin”
This, freaking adorable, animatic is what finally convinced me to watch Moomin. Thank you for giving me this gateway to softness. It's so wholesome, I feel like it's cleansed my soul that's been slowly chipped away by life. Pure. I will one day, when I have spare money, have these books of solitude.
It's actually spelt "wholesome", but I can see why you would make that mistake so DW!
@@mont-zarella8425
Oh sh*t! Thanks for telling me. I'm really bad at spelling. I'll fix that. Thanks!
@@queenaunt4531 don't worry about it, "wholesome" is just a weirdly spelt (spelled? I need grammar lessons) word
@@mont-zarella8425
It's fine, I think we all have trouble spelling some things, now and again. I usually go to google if something seems off
hewwo i would love to let u know this straightup MURDERED ME??????? AND GAVE ME ENOUGH SEROTONIN FOR THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT ONE
THERES SO MUCH!!!! I LOVE ABOUT THIS!!!!!! your storyboarding and how expressive your art is and THEIR EXPRESSIONS!! THE CUTE DANCES!!!! THE TRANSITIONS!!!!!!!!!!! the transitions were so FLAWLESS and the buildup to each scene esp snufkins return,,, im gay
HOW U CONVEYED EVERYTHING AND THE ACHING LINES im!!!!
The first "look at you strawberry blonde" paired with the scene of moomin looking up at snufkin and then /that/ smile ? a soft death. I am very grateful. Thank you for blessing us with this!!!!!!!!!
i am SOBBING..... the motion... the transitions.. the SONG CHOICE.... they;re meeting half-way.. this is PERFECT
I don’t ship these two but i think that their dynamic is adorable! I get really strong ‘best bros for life’ vibes from this.
Edit:
Nevermind. I love these two together and they deserve eachother. Two softbois is best ever!! They cute!
mitksi and snufmin my 2 favorite things oh my god
why yes, I am indeed violently sobbing to this in the late hours of the night. don't ask questions just please bring me some damn tissues
I love this so much! I think my favorite part is when Snufkin and Moomin are running toward each other and they bump into each other at the same time as the beat it seems to give such a weight and joy to their meeting

I've probably watched this video a hundred times. I've watched this video more times than I've seen any episodes of all of the moomin shows combined. The combination of the song and the visuals and the dancing during the last chorus. It's all just so *chef kiss*
"Animatic by @jamiewoolleyart" i think you mean, "Amazing, tear jerking, fun, carefree, lovely work of art by @jamiewoolleyart."
snufkin chinhandsong @ moomin is so cute, amd the whole sequence from moomin running down the hill to catching snufkins hat but ESPECIALLY their dance is so charming and fluid and lovely and basically im gushing a lot bc i love thisnand all the work you put into it
This is the type of video that -- obviously, I can't speak for her or her family -- but I like to think it would make Tove Jansson happy, and proud of how beloved Moomin and Snufkin have become (independently and together). Thank you for this gorgeous work. :)
I'm crying this really changed my life my brain chemistry and everything. the world will never be the same for me like now it's all light and happiness and sunshine
