    Finn reporting in. Snufkin's old-dub Finnish voice is 11/10. There's this unflappable calm to it that makes you *feel* that he has life figured out and is just letting it take its course.

      Another Finn piping in to say: 100% agreed. Snufkin's old-dub voice is perfect because it's so profound. It captures wisdom, calmness, mysticism, and also a good touch of warmth. Snufkin has a very distinctive personality and he's basically a mixture of youth and maturity. Like he's been around the world, knows a lot of stuff, but he's not world-weary. Instead he has this calm optimism. The voice just fits it all so well.

    When I was a child, I remember hearing Moominmamma's voice actress (Ulla Tapaninen) say that sometimes mothers call her to help them put their children to bed with her calming voice. And even then, as a kid, I immediately thought that's such a good idea.

    I grew up with this dub and I remember HATING Little My and Snork's voices when I first heard them in Eng 💀 But I'm more used to them now. It's really interesting how different a character feels just based on their voice!

    i love how passionate the finnish dub is, the emotions are really coming through and it gives them so much more character. at least in the old dub, the new one is sadly very soulless and robotic. 🥲 btw, moominmamma's voice actor was also zira in lion king 2, she did such a good job as zira too and i always imagine moominmamma speaking like that, it's so funny 😭

    When you compare the Finn dub to other dubs of Moomins, I think you can really see how deep typical Finnish speaking voice is compared to many other languages :D To me these voices all sound soothing but quite normal, while I'm always surprised how high everyone's voice is in the English dub for example :D And I'm not talking about Moomin alone, his voice in that dub is purposefully a childish voice, but even Snufkin's voice is higher pitched and it's very interesting! Kinda makes me think of how every language seems to have a pitch that is specific to that language! Finnish is just a pretty deep and monotone language I think :D

    • @moomshroomsoup
      @moomshroomsoup  2 года назад +13

      I find that really interesting too! Because of that difference, I didn't judge based on acting, the Finnish acting sounds way more natural to me! I also just love the way the language sounds. English in particular went for higher, more cartoon-ish sounding voices, I guess so it'd have more of an appeal to American kids, but I love how the acting, pitch, and style changes from each dub

    • @justskip4595
      @justskip4595 Год назад +1

      To my ear almost all English voices sound really high and it seems like I will never get over the "Wow that's a high voice" feeling that I get so often when listening english speakers. Like many men have higher pitched voice than my mother who's a small woman.
      It just makes sense that it would work in reverse too.

    I kinda felt about the same of the English dub of moomins when I first heard about it, as I feel like about OG Finnish dub of Digimon... though I have gotten more used to the voices now.
    I think the English dub affects Snork, Hemulen, and Moominpappa the worst. These are all characters with strong personality and aspirations, but the English dub makes them seem watered down.
    I think the reason behind the differences in voice acting is behind how the show was presented. In Finland this was never meant to be a kids show, but a whole family show with serious topics and heartwarming moments. The English dub was clearly meant for just the children.
    Also, you missed the most important dub change: Groke/Mörkö. I suggest making a full video on them alone ;)

    • @moomshroomsoup
      @moomshroomsoup  2 года назад +21

      these are great points. I find it SO interesting how different everything is from version to version. I noticed from subbed episodes of the finnish and japanese dubs that a tiny change in dialogue can completely change the weight/theme of the episode

    Mr. Hemulen: 10/10 we love an unhinged old man with a crazy laugh
    I really like how this cast aged up all of the characters equally unlike the English dub where everyone had childish voices/dialogue but then you have John Chancer voicing Snufkin which isn't bad by all means but still made the misconception that Snufkin was an adult when he's clearly meant to be a child like everyone else at the start of the books

    The English voices are alright but comparing the two really highlights how full of emotion is the original YLE Finnish dub is. In many cases in the English episodes, it seems so strange to have the actors deliver most lines with an emotion or tone that's just kind of general and not particularly fit to the particular situation at hand.

      I really wanna point out that THAT scene and that episode is the most chaotic and unhinged we've ever seen Hemulen. Watch any other episode with him in it and you'll see that the voice absolutely fits him. He sounds calm, which he usually is. But I do like the English dub too! It's a different version of Hemulen but a good one nonetheless.

    Just a suggestion: I would love for you to react to Groke’s voice in different dubs, like her ”I’ll be back” thingy and her growling. I’ve understood they can sound quite different.
    The thing that upset me most with the English dub was actually how silent the Groke was in the first episodes (those with the suitcase), because in Swedish dub she literally growls all the time she’s in frame.

    • @Punkkis90
      @Punkkis90 2 года назад +3

      She growls always in Finnish dub also (this older version at least, there’s a new dub also but I don’t like it so haven’t heard Groke so much in that one). Tho there’s a little twist between this old Finnish dub Groke vs English Groke...

I've heard clips of different dubs, and there are definitely voices I think fit better with certain characters depending on the language, but others I have a slight bias towards like John Chancer as Snufkin because he's the first version I heard, and I'm used to it.

    I'm biased because I grew up with the original finnish voices so I prefer all of them over any of the english voices but the english voices are overall pretty good. I only don't like Snork's voice because in the finnish dub, he sounds so sarcastic and I feel like in the english dub he just sounds sorta goofy. I also pretty much hate Sniff's voice because oh my god does he sound annoying. In the finnish dub he's annoying without actually being annoying. I feel like their personalities sorta change with the english dub but that's just how it sounds for me. Dunno if that makes sense at all. None of the other voices bother me, I mean don't really like Moomintroll's and Snorkmaiden's english voices but they're fine. My favorite english voices are Snufkin, Stinky and Little My
    TLDR: least favorite english voices: Sniff, Snork
    favorite english voices: Snufkin, Stinky, Little My

      I really have to agree with you there. It's hard for me to pick up on the acting (not knowing Finnish) but I can tell their personalities change somewhat from dub to dub. I probably would have liked Sniff a lot sooner if I watched the Finnish dub first 😂
      and I must say I agree with your favorites/least favorites on the english one

    Finn here! I've just gotten a glimpse of the English dubs and they all sound foreign and out of place to me. Snufkin is so good in Finnish but I like all the others too.
    Sniff is as annoying in Finnish as it is in English, I'm sure. He's the doubtful coward. Never was a fan of him.

    The english dub seems too basic and childlike to me. Snufkin, Sniff, Moomin, Myy and Snorkmaiden all sound like kids in english. The finnish one always had more grungy and deeper voices which works way better.

    I hate Moomintrolls english voice tbh. He is supposed to be a young man, not a 7 years old girl. Thats exactly why I love his finnish voice so much.
