Line 76:
** And the wizard...er...Hobgoblin too.
** Don't forget The Joxter.
* [[Slice of Life]]: Outside the whole adventure part, there were elements of this.
* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]]: Averted with Moomintroll in the books. If you read the books in chronological order, you'll notice that he ''is'' growing up, becoming more independent and self-reliant. In ''Moominpappa At Sea,'' Moominmamma even mentions to Moominpappa that their son isn't as little anymore.
** Played straight in most of the adaptations, though.
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: Snufkin, of course.
* [[Older Sidekick]]: Probably Snufkin and maybe Sniff, but time doesn't really seem to apply in Moomin Valley.
Line 87 ⟶ 84:
** In the 1990 cartoon at least. In the books Mymble is less clean and presentable and Snork is less obviously different from his sister too.
* [[Single Specimen Species]]: The Groke.
* [[Slice of Life]]: Outside the whole adventure part, there were elements of this.
* [[Time Machine]]: The Moomins have one in the newspaper comic and there are occasional storylines where they travel back in time to some historical epoch -- usually because Moominpappa is sick of modern life and longs for the glory and romance of times long past. In every single one of these storylines he'd discover that the "good old days" weren't as good, glorious or romantic as he'd imagined them.
* [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show]]: Moominvalley is, at least at a very quick glance, somewhat of a saccharine world in the early novels and some of the adaptations. The Groke on the other hand, especially in her earliest appearances, is truly horrifying.
