These are "Moomins" - they are not hippos. They are Mommin Trolls...and they live a simple and happy life.
Moomins were created in Finland and are very popular in Japan. Japanese tourists here LOVE Moomins. Anyway - I was watching a Moomin DVD earlier (in Finnish) and noticed (out loud) that Moomin Papa does NOT sleep in the same bed as Moomin Mama.
HOWEVER! Snork Maiden (she's a Moomin too with a gold anklet and a tuft of hair) shares a bed with Moomin.
When I asked my husband why (he's not Finnish - I just asked out loud I guess) - he suggests "Different generation."
Any Finn reading this - can you explain why two married Moomins are not sharing a bed but the son and his girl friend can?
Slightly confused.
