English version of "Sztorm", adapted by
Anne Wood of the production company FilmFair, was shortened and re-edited to a ~5 minute episode titled "The Storm". It was originally broadcast in the UK in 1983 (as episode 43) on "Children's ITV" (on Central Independent Television). Missing from the UK version:
- The opening sequence (apart from a few shots of the rainy Moominvalley), where Moomintroll is looking out the window, is talking to his father who's reading a newspaper, and everybody gathering around Moominpappa when he takes his book.
- A shot of Moomintroll and the Joxter after dropping the anchor; Hodgkins behind the ship's wheel; a pair of close-ups of Moomintroll, and a shot of the clouds on the horizon; additional shots of the children playing in the clouds on the deck; the Muddler and the others sleeping.
- During the night, the storm waking Hodgkins; the Joxter and Moomintroll waking up; a wider shot from the deck with Hodgkins holding the anchor rope; a wider shot from the deck with a young Nibling, and Hodgkins going to check the barometer and coming back to the deck to talk to others.
- A shot of the ship's bow during the storm, Hodgkins behind the wheel and the Muddler's jar on the deck; additional shot of Moomintroll with his eyes closed during the storm, and a close-up of the Joxter; Moomintroll and Hodgkins watching the clouds, and a shot of the dark clouds above the ship; the sequence on the deck after the ship has risen above the clouds.
- A few clouds floating to the deck after the ship is sailing again; the panning shot of the deck, and the Muddler moving a barrel.
- Back in the Moominhouse, Moominpappa closing the book; Moominmamma opening the window; the original ending sequence, where the children are picking apples (with a shot of the Moominhouse).
