Rollo and the Spirit of the Woods (also titled Rolli, Finnish: '''Rölli ja metsänhenki''') is a 2001 Finnish fantasy film directed by Olli Saarela.[2] It is the second film based on the television series Rölli, the first being Rölli – hirmuisia kertomuksia (1991).[3]
Hairy and rowdy trolls called rolleys sail to a land inhabited by more peace-loving elves. When the rolleys arrive to the elf village, they scare the elves away and settle down in the village. One of the elves, Milli, a brave elf girl, returns to the village to make a peace with the rolleys. The rolleys do not warm to Milli's peace proposal, but she becomes friends with a rolley called Rölli. It becomes their mission to solve the conflict between the elves and the rolleys.[1]
