''Moomins on the Riviera'' is a 2014 Finnish-French animated family film based on the ''ComicStrip/{{Moomin}}'' comic strips by Tove Jansson. The film is a co-production of Finnish Handle Productions and French Pictak Cie.

The film is based on the Tove Jansson's original comic strip, ''Moomin on the Riviera'' and it is the first animated feature to be based on the ''Moomin'' comic strips rather than the books. In the film, the Moomins, along with Snorkmaiden and Little My, sail for the French Riviera, where their unity is threatened. Snorkmaiden is dazzled by the attentions of the playboy Clark Tresco and Moominpappa befriends an aristocrat Marquis Mongaga, while Moomin and Moominmamma decide to move to the beach in order to escape all the glamorous extravagance.

** Pimple is another example; like Little My he was not in the Riviera story, and his quest to befriend a cat is taken from a later story from the comic.

Added DiffLines:

* BecomingTheMask: Teased but ultimately subverted by the Marquis. He wants to be a free bohemian and tries to act like one but in the end just can't survive without his wealth.
* BeginnersLuck: Snorkmaiden, despite mistaking a casino for a ''shop'' sweeps the games and becomes a millionaire.


Added DiffLines:

* CompeteForTheMaidensHand: Clark and Moomin duel for Snorkmaiden.
* CountryMouse: Moominmama is the best example, she hates the Riviera life with a passion. So much so she runs away to live on the beach.


Added DiffLines:

* TheDitz: Played with and finally subverted by Snorkmaiden. She may be ditzy but in the end it's her who bails the family out of trouble when they need it.
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Snorkmaiden and Audrey get a lot of attention.


Added DiffLines:

* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Some of the cast, like Audrey and Clark, are always shown with clothes on.


Added DiffLines:

* RichBitch: Clark is a male example.
* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: Clark and Moomin are Snorkmaiden's.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The little dog the Moomins meet on the Riviera.


Added DiffLines:

* TakeThat: Like the comic it was based on, the film critiques the culture of the Riviera and the art world. A good example would be how the owners of the hotel are ecstatic to get one of the Marquis' carved elephants...until they find out he made more than one, and tell the Moomins it makes it worthless. They're appropriately baffled.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Not so much darker but definitely edgier than the other animated adaptations of ''The Moomins''. Critic Sara Steensig of gbtimes was enthusiastic towards the film but pointed out Moominpappa's painful hangover and Moomintroll's bitter jealousy, and noted that "These are phenomena that adults will recognize but most children will not, and they are shown in a way that will not make young kids wonder about things they are not ready for."
