This Moomin Valley episode, "Ninny Gets Her Smile Back," tells the heartwarming story of Ninny, a young girl who has become invisible due to her aunt's sarcastic remarks. The Moomin family, known for their kindness and acceptance, takes her in, hoping to help her regain her visibility. Initially, only her neck is visible, and she struggles to participate in games like hide-and-seek, leading to some humorous and slightly awkward moments as the other children try to include her despite her invisibility. A significant turning point occurs during a game of hide-and-seek when the mischievous character, Stinky, traps Ninny inside a rock crevice. This frightening experience causes Ninny to scream for help, and in doing so, her voice becomes stronger. The Moomins rescue her, and while her voice has returned, her face remains invisible. This incident highlights the idea that strong emotions, even fear, can be a catalyst for change and self-expression. The Moomins, particularly Moominpappa, then devise a plan to fully restore Ninny's visibility. They decide to surprise Moominmamma by playfully pushing her into the sea. This unexpected and slightly chaotic event causes Moominmamma to react with surprise and a touch of anger, which in turn triggers a strong emotional response in Ninny. Seeing Moominmamma's genuine reaction, Ninny bursts into laughter, and with that, her entire body becomes visible again. She is no longer the shy, invisible girl but a lively, expressive child with a visible smile and even "saw-like teeth" when she laughs, much to the delight of the Moomin family. The episode concludes with Ninny, now fully visible and confident, ready for new adventures. She has transformed from a timid, unseen child into a vibrant individual, eager to engage with the world. The story emphasizes the power of positive social interaction, emotional expression, and the Moomins' unique brand of unconventional kindness in helping someone overcome a difficult situation. It also subtly suggests that sometimes, a little bit of playful chaos and genuine emotion can be more effective than traditional remedies in bringing about positive change.
