A comet is speeding towards the earth and nobody knows what to do. Will it destroy everything and everyone? Moomintroll decides to find out, so, with Sniff, he sets out on an expedition that promises to be packed with adventure and excitement.

Moomin books had always been bestsellers in Finland, but the animation started a new Moomin madness both in Finland and abroad,. A large merchandising industry was built around the Moomin characters, covering everything from coffee cups and t-shirts to plastic models

The peak of the Moomin Boom was the opening of the Moomin World theme park in Naantali, Finland, which has become one of Finland's international tourist destinations.

Moomintroll is the son of Moominmamma and Moominpappa. He is very curious Moomin but can occasionally get bad tempered. His best friend is Snufkin. Snufkin showed how much his friendship was worth to him.

Snufkin who is not a Moomin is the child of the Mymble and the Joxter. He is best friends with Moomintroll and the pair like to fish together. Snufkin knows how easily Moomintroll can be upset and so always takes great care to shield the sensitive little Moomin.

Moominmamma is married to Moominpappa and is Moomintroll's mum. She is a very caring Moomin and looks after most of the creatures in Moominland at some time or another. We know she is a female because she always carries her handbag.

Moominpappa. He too is a very caring Moomin and likes to read the others the adventures he had when he was a very young Moomin. He was brought up in an orphanage.
