The critical consensus

A treat for the whole family.

****(*)Liz Beardsworth, Empire Online, 18/05/2015

Elegant, hand-drawn animation which finds the childhood favourites on holiday.

****(*)James Mottram, The List, 18/05/2015

Tove Jansson’s lovably eccentric characters teach the filthy rich a thing or two in this cleanly hand-drawn, beautifully coloured animation.

***(*)(*)Steve Rose, The Guardian, 21/05/2015

Children may be baffled by the Moomins' self-effacing behaviour but their parents are likely to relish the story's quiet whimsy.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 22/05/2015

Verdict: Charming animation.
