So funny story- I've had this image on my computer along with several other moomin-related pics for years and never knew what they were from, and I ended up reading this thread just by chance. Got curious about Snufkin, looked him up, started reading up on the books and tv series, and started watching it last night and remembered the old reaction images I could never place my memory on.
This show is comfy af. Thanks, OP, for getting a grown-ass 20-something into a Finnish-Japanese show about little cuddly trolls who have the cutest adventures I've seen from any series since I was probably four years old. I'm 7 or 8 episodes into the 1990s cartoon (apparently there's an older show and a bunch of books and comics I should look through as well) and even though I never watched it as a show, Moomins just screams "maximum childhood nostalgia. Thank you, OP.
