Wikipedia article
'Quest for a Heart' is a 2007 British/Finnish/Russian/German animated film directed by Pekka Lehtosaari. It is based on the Rlli character created by Allu Tuppurainen, and while it is the third Rlli film (previous films are 'Rolli: Amazing Tales' from 1991 and 'Rollo and the Spirit of the Woods' from 2001), it is also the first Rlli animation. It is also one of the first feature-length animated films produced in Finland, before that 'Santa Claus and the Magic Drum' was made in 1996 and 'The Emperor's Secret' in 2006. With its over 5 million euro budget, 'Quest for a Heart' is one of the most expensive Finnish films.
The film won the Best Animation Award at the German Schlingel Film Festival in October 2008 and at the Chicago Childrens Film Festival in November 2008.
Plot
The story revolves around Rlli the troll who accompanies a spunky elf girl named Milli on a quest to find a magical heart that will save the trolls' village from being turned to stone, despite the fact that trolls and elves are completely opposite in nature.
