The profane hermit tries hard to be nasty but cannot help his good heart. Because of his anarchic spirit he has been compared with Pippi Långstrump. He never conforms. His signature call is "by my dirty toes!". Based on Rölli, Tuppurainen has written fairy-tales and songs (as composer and lyricist), made 14 records and audio cassettes, and played on tv and stage. There have been now three theatrical feature Rölli films: Rölli - hirmuisia kertomuksia (1991, D: Olli Soinio), Rölli ja metsänhenki (2001, D: Olli Saarela), and Röllin sydän (2007), all produced by Marko Röhr. Six years in the making, the animated feature is based on traditional analogue drawing and painting techniques, and besides, digital effects have been used. Hundreds of artists participated in the production in five studios. The final film print has been processed via a 2k digital intermediate. http://www.questforaheart.com/
