Bjork writes song for Moomins film
Wednesday November 18 2009
Bjork has written a song for a new Moomins film.
The Icelandic singer, who is a fan of the 80s children's TV characters, has written a track called The Comet Song with her collaborator Sjon for the forthcoming film, Nme.com reports.
The film, called Moomins And The Comet Chase, is being made in Finland and it is due out next summer.
The hippopotamus-like creatures were invented by Finnish author and illustrator Tove Jansson and became a huge hit on children's TV in the UK in the 80s.
A message on Bjork's website said: "Bjork and Sjon have put their creative heads together again and made a - we know you love these next two words - new song especially for the film Moomins And The Comet Chase.
"We're delighted but certainly not surprised, as we know both of them to be big Moomin fans and they've both been seen wearing them on their sleeves, or rather t-shirts and neckties."
