Before LOTR, there was Rölli

Rölli ja Metsänhenki is a movie for everybody, it has it all: great cast, meaningful storyline, amazing makeup and costumes, beautiful Finnish landscapes, wonderful ost and of course with important message. Above all, it is a great family film about the good and bad, the relationship between wooden elfs and "bad" looking röllis.

It portrays the harmony between good and evil well, and the nature is beautiful. You can see how great the costume team did with the elven costumes, all green and nature, all pure. And then röllis with dark and brown colors, making them seem like the total opppsites. What is great about it, is the amazing story of the unlikely friends, Milli and Rölli. Those two who seemed unlikely friends from the start, and since they were almost literamly enemies - but overcoming that by learning they arent that different after all. This movie can be compared to Lotr very well, because it does have very much similarities, but for children,even it is a movie for all ages.

And the important message shines through: how even if you are different, come from different background and culture, or just look different than others; in the end, it doesnt matter. This movie was a head of its time.
