Quest for a Heart (Finnish: Röllin sydän) is a 2007 British/Finnish/Russian/German animated film directed by Pekka Lehtosaari. It is based on the Rölli character created by Allu Tuppurainen, and while it is the third Rölli film (previous films are Rolli: Amazing Tales from 1991 and Rollo and the Spirit of the Woods from 2001), it is also the first Rölli 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,[1] Quest for a Heart is one of the most expensive Finnish films.
