When the planning of the movie, Moomins on the Riviera, was started in 2010, it was clear to the producer, Hanna Hemilä, that the new movie would honour the drawing style of the original strips. Sophia Jansson gave permission for the movie in 2011 and a goal was to have the movie ready for Tove's 100 years celebrations. (Source: Moomins on the Riviera – Press material)
