We found great voices for the different roles. Sami’s innate musicality gave a large advantage during the dubbingarbeidet, says produksjonsselskapets development manager Reetta Ranta .
According to the Ailu Valle, helps musicality to find different inflections.
– Mummitrollene has its own way to talk. In this job, one must have a own sound.

“Mummidalen”–the motion the first production part of the business that are dubbed in north sámi, to be broadcast on TV in Finland in april. In the fall of 2020 being a part of the other produksjonsperioden done on enaresamisk and the skolt sámi.
In Sweden, Norway and Finland, there are altogether about 20 000 people that use northern sami. In Finland lives approximately 2000-3000 of them.
There are considerably fewer who speak enaresamisk or skolt sámi.
Dubbing of “Mummidalen” to enaresamisk and skolt sámi are historical. These languages are categorized as highly endangered. For these languages, it is not translated once and the little that is done to northern sami, says The språksikringssekretær Anne Kirste Aikio.
There is a great lack of saami speaking children’s programs.
Heli Huovinen is the manufacturer for saami speaking children’s programming at YLE. She has heard many wonder whether it pays to make application for a couple of hundred children on a dying language. It evokes resentment in her.
– I’m talking even enaresamisk and follow the revitaliseringen of the language at close quarters. More and more children are talking enaresamisk.
Huovinen reminds of that TV programs help children to learn the language.
Children pick up items from the spoken language in the children’s program. It strengthens your language skills.
What could well be a better and more motivating way for children to learn languages than Mummitrollene, says Ailu Valle.

According to Anne Kirste Aikio forces this at the same time the appreciation of their own language.
“Frozen 2” showed for the saami speaking children that our language is just as important as the Finnish.
“Frozen 2” was the first long animated film to Disney, where it was spoken north saami. The premiere last year was a great event for the sámi.
– What if the saami “Mummidalen” is a really popular and rap-artist on his tour prompted a Mummitroll number from the stage?
the Question gets Ailu Valle to laugh.
– We’ll see if Mummitrollet comes as encores on the tour.
