"...join the club and be our friend" "The club of Strange Creatures Inc" "The club of Strange Creatures Inc" "BUY today's paper!" "What on..." "What...?" "!" "The key..." "Stop the intruder!" "Where did it go?" "!" "Find the thief!" "We must get the key back!" "Hello, Big Rolli!" "Hello, everybody!" "There you go." "And you." " Thank you." "Rolli!" "Rolli, what are you...?" "where did all this sand come from?" "It's sleeping sand." "I have to carry it out sometimes so I can fit in my hut." "Rolli, what do you need a shovel for?" "I sleep better with someone next to me." "Have a good day's sleep then, Rolli." "Blasted rocks!" "COME, come have some." "Is this where the apple thief hides?" " You dropped it." "I didn't steal." " Now tell me: who are you?" "I don't know who I am." "I just fell from the sky." "Is that so?" "That's right." "just before the winter came." "Silly..." "Here you go." "Now run along home." "This..." "This is my home." "Who are you really?" "What's your name?" "You must have a name." "You can decide it yourself." "Make up a beautiful one." "What about... juniper!" "It sounds so beautiful." "It's very good." "From now on you're juniper." "But now you must go to the kindergarten." "Kindergarten?" " Come!" "Children, take your seats!" "Calm down!" "Don't spread the toys all over the place!" "Okay then!" "Hello, children!" " Hello..." "Today's lesson is about the space and the planets." "Sounds difficult!" "Tonight there is an eclipse of the moon and the planets meet!" "Rolliper, Rolunus and Rovenus!" "Boring!" "But we'll begin with history." "Our guest lecturer today - is the mayor of Rolli City, Mr. Ringmaster!" "There are more urgent matters I should be attending to - so we'll start immediately." "This is the Old Rolli Village where all the old ones live." "Back in the day all the rollis used to live in Rolli Village." "One who came there a lot later than the others was this..." "Rolli." "The story goes he fell from the sky in a tiny bundle!" "Rolli was just a little baby." "What has become of Rolli Village?" "It's totally deserted." "All the rollis moved out- because the village became haunted." "I declared it the Forbidden Village!" "I seized the key so no one would ever go there even by accident!" "Did you ever hear the story of the scary old castle - that lies far away on the mountain of ghosts?" "For every living soul it's the castle of no return" "Even one-way trips have never ever been heard of" "Avoid the castle, the Castle of Ghosts!" "Avoid the Castle of Ghosts!" "The ghosts scream at night" "And torment you with fright" "Well, this is just nonsense..." "I must meet you, Rolli!" "Let's get on with the lesson!" "Old Rolli Woods..." "Remember, children!" "It's now the Forbidden Village." "You mustn't go there under any circumstances." ""I'm takkin' a nap."" ""Don't you dare distrub."" "Rolli!" "The Forbidden Village!" "Whom?" "What?" "Are you Rolli?" "It might be that I might not be!" "Or it might not." "But who might you be?" "My name is Juniper." "That's all I know." "Well, what can you do about a name?" "What do you mean "that's all"?" " I just fell down from the sky." "I heard you came from the sky, too." "I thought we might be related." "No, we're not." "You don't even have a tail." "At least we could befriends." "Now, listen..." "I've been waiting for a long time to sit here all by myself." "So off you go now!" "Why is the village deserted?" " Aren't you a curious one!" "Is this place really haunted?" "Is that what they tell you?" "That's what Mr. Ringmaster said." "You have a lively imagination." "But now you must leave me alone!" "I'm telling you to go right now!" "I don't know who I am." "Even if I cannot be your friend - and even if you won't let me help you..." "I'd still like to know who you are." "Please tell me your story, Rolli." "I wouldn't know where to start." "Start at the very beginning!" "Where you came from, for example." "There..." "I came from somewhere over there." "Surely you know that ever since the beginning of time - storks have brought babies to their destinations in small bundles." "Sometimes a bundle might have ended up in the wrong place." "1 fell into Rolli Village." "Rolli ball was a popular sport in the Rolli Village." "Later it was called football." "The Blacksmith was the best player on the pitch - and Big Rolli in a league of his own as a goalkeeper." "The Singing Teacher liked music and hated sports." "Still she always watched the exciting matches." "There is also another version of the game, called handball." "They say the Village Elder came up with them." "Free kick due to interference." "Just then my bundle got mixed with the ball." "why did you dig the tunnel?" "when I still lived here " "I always wanted to go outside the walls." "Now all I want is to come back in." "But it's strictly forbidden." "If someone tries to climb the wall they will be punished." "And the Ringmaster has the only key." " That's right." "Go on from where you left of-f." "So they were frightened by you?" "They all surely feared me!" "A horrible freak!" "We won't get out of this one!" "I was a quick learner." "I crawled just one metre before I started walking." "H-Help!" "Stay calm and avoid mass hystery!" "The key will protect us." "Here comes the terrible Rolli!" "I sneak undercover and frighten the others" "Now isn't it great - when they are afraid!" "Dillybedabby dibbydabby, - dillybedabby dibbydabby dee!" "Shucks!" "Time passed and I grew." "Luckily the rollis got used to me." "Or at least they were no longer so afraid of me." "What now?" "You're at an age in which you need educating." "Time for a singing lesson!" "What should I do?" " Listen to me and sing along." "Careful!" "The guitar was a gift from the Blacksmith!" "What?" "How can you...?" "I can do anything!" "Well, in any case, listen..." "I have such a pretty voice" "And mine is slightly hoarse!" "I sing more beautifully, too!" "In the chorus I'll join you!" "La-la-la I'm singing..." "La-la-la I'm singing, too!" "Try and place your voice right!" "An egg would be nice and light" "You just have to concentrate!" "It's been a while since I ate!" "Your voice needs a little pitching!" "But my tail just started itching!" "La-la-la I'm singing..." "I swallowed a bee that's stinging!" "What is it?" "The next morning we heard the sound again." "We heard the sound also on the next morning." "And the morning after that." "And after that." "Everyone was scared." "Except for me." "Village Elder believed the old key would banish the intruders." "But it was no good." "We kept hearing the sound one day after the other." "What is this thing?" ""Is a can..." "A cata?" "...pult." "Pult?" "Catapult!" "A cannon from the old days." "A sling used to fire all kinds of ammunition." "But why?" "This one was actually built especially for me." "And it became my passage to the big world out there!" "Ready?" "You're next!" " Me?" "You're the only one here who came from outside the village." "You're just the right rolli to see what's going on behind the wall." "I can't wait to see what's out there!" "Good!" "Let's put the catapult into action!" "Look out!" "No!" "Don't fire just yet, Big Rolli." "Let's wait for the sound, - so Rolli can catch the intruder in the act!" "Perhaps a bit of singing while we wait." "Where the songs ring out the smoke would be magic - and the ashes turn into gold who owns the key to Rolli Village has the world's riches, no pillage" "The key is so rusty and so old" "But to the rollis it's pure gold" "Help!" "I can't swim!" "Look..." "I can after all!" "I can do anything!" "You're standing on the bottom!" "But you're just like a choir!" "Concentrate and sing along!" "Everybody sit down nicely and comb your hairs prettily!" "Then we'll sing together like this!" "But frogs don't have hair!" "Grab each other by the hands and then we go around in circles." "Then we sing together like this!" "But frogs have flippers instead of hands!" "Rolli, stop being a pest and give yourself a rest!" "You must hit the high note, like this!" "But I get dizzy at heights!" "I will never again set foot outside the village walls!" "But this was fun and..." " Dangerous!" "Too dangerous!" "Thanks to you too, croakers!" "...and the wild lizards croaking amongst the water lilies - were trying to eat us up!" "But I wasn't scared!" "I helped the Singing Teacher escape before chasing the lizards away!" "I knew we could trust you." "You're so brave!" "Rolli is lying!" "He's making it all up!" "That's the talk of a coward!" "But you're no coward." "You're just frightened by the lizards' attack." "So that's how I became one of those bigmouths." "Why?" " Oh, I don't know." "Somehow I felt like an outsider- and different from the others." "A special rolli." "I wanted attention and played tricks on the others." "Look, there!" "But perhaps that was exactly what made me the outsider." "Bragging and scaring the others." "But..." " Let me tell you now." "These were for you, Rolli." " For me?" "Singing Teacher baked you a cake and Blacksmith carved you a guitar when I told him how good you were." "I wanted..." "I was just goofing around!" "Where do they go, the clouds in the sky?" "And where dues the sun hide at night?" "where do the stars go during the day?" "where does full moon come from?" "Oh, how quickly the time passed!" "Suddenly I noticed I was quite a big rascal." "It was very confusing." "Where do all the flowers come from?" "1 may wonder but I never will know" "Then we heard a different noise and everyone shuddered with fear." "They sent me out to check on it and I did happily." "on that trip I found no horrid roaring creature - but I met a funny little character." "Let me tell you about him." "Once there was a maggot, his name was Malcolm" "And Malcolm the Maggot could do nothing else - but be a maggot on his grassroots level- at the back of the yard" "But Malcolm the Maggot wanted nothing more - than to be praised every single day" "Malcolm the Maggot wanted to be famed" "But what could he do from his grassroots level?" "Malcolm the Maggot he climbed on a pole" "And shouted as he climbed, "1 want to be a star!"" "Along came a crow that asked the little maggot " ""Would like to have a seat in first class?"" "Everybody shouted, "Look!"" ""It's Malcolm the Maggot!"" "So Malcolm went high, way up in the world" "But poor Malcolm's head was as dizzy as can be" "He wanted back down to the back of the yard" ""That's where 1 belong, on grassroots level!"" "Now Malcolm the Maggot is doing quite alright" "Caring for his garden at the back of the yard" "Making his orchard look so beautiful" "Malcolm the Maggot is back on grassroots level" "Others they say, "Look!"" ""It's Malcolm the Maggot!"" "Others they say, "Look!"" ""It's Malcolm the Maggot!"" "That's when I saw her again." "Who?" "No, wait..." " I have to go now." "Where are you going?" "I could come with you." "No!" "Tell me who you are." "I'm Rolli." "I'm Millie the Elf." "Well, tell us what you saw." "I..." "I..." "What was that terrible noise?" "The arrggghhh!" "It was more like..." "I think you saw something so scary you don't even dare to tell us!" "I can tell you about it if only you dare to listen!" "It was..." "A dragon!" "Malcolm the Mighty." "It was a fierce battle, but I came out victorious." "Now Malcolm lies six feet under." "I also met a princess!" "She was being threatened by the dragon." "But the princess was saved due to my courage!" "But that's the same noise..." "...as before!" "The dragon is back." " Perhaps there was no dragon!" "But Rolli said...!" " I'm sure he made it all up!" "I..." " Perhaps you only saw..." "A maggot or something!" "And you thought it was a dragon." " OK, that's enough!" "In any case the noise is real." "And if we keep arguing we'll be done for!" " That's right." "We have to find out what is making these noises." "Perhaps the Singing Teacher can go and check it out!" "Rolli, perhaps you could..." "I'll be happy to!" "Give it up for Daisy Dragonfly and the Glamour Girls!" "And now, ladies and gentlemen..." "You have the privilege to witness something unique and original!" "A spectacle no one anywhere has ever seen - or even tasted or smelled!" "Until now!" "Three whole chords I put into this song" "Even with so few I can hardly go wrong" "Life in Rolli Village is full of happiness and joy" "Simply perfect for this rolli boy" "If some loony tune set the village on fire" "And make it a huge disastrous pyre" "The smoke would be magic and the ashes, too" "Turning into shining gold" "Where the songs ring out there is magic all about" "Even ashes turn into gold who owns the key to open our gate - will have all the world's riches on his plate" "The key may be rusty and certainly old" "But for us rollis it's made of pure gold" "You sing beautifully!" " A spectacular entrance!" "Truly acrobatic!" " We want more!" "Tell us who you are!" "Encore!" "Encore!" "Call me Rolli, I'm the troll who lives his life on the edge" "One winter's day I ate some ice" "And boy did it make me cough" "I was creeping in the woods - and hit my toe into a rock" "Eating pebbles isn't good for you - and it hurts my tummy, too" "Oh trouble and strife, it's such a dangerous life!" "I'm sorry... whoever you are, I..." "But..." " You're going out!" "Alright, ladies and gentlemen!" "Here he is - the main attraction of our circus:" "Bruno the Brute!" "Then I heard the noise I had originally gone to look for." "He is the strongest, the scariest and genuinely dangerous!" "But don't worry, I'll protect you!" "For he obeys only me!" "I'm in the right place." "Look there!" "She's the most beautiful..." "Millie..." "And the most fragile..." "Millie the Elf!" "Will Bruno the Brute catch her?" "If so, he will eat her up!" "Don't come down!" "Bruno's cave is full of elf bones!" "Run, Millie!" "Watch out!" "Please, don't eat me up!" "I don't taste good!" "Nothing to worry about!" "No fear!" "Get out of there!" "Millie, stay back!" "I'll deal with him." "I know what to do!" " It's only circus!" "This has gone quite far enough!" "Stand back!" "I'll protect you!" "I am the terrible Rolli!" "Get back in there!" "You're not going anywhere!" "Stop whining and get back!" "But this is all made of clay!" "No it isn't!" "Bruno the Brute isn't strong at all!" "He's totally harmless!" "Stop whining and get up!" "You giant cry-baby!" "Get up!" " This is all a hoax!" "This is just a mishap..." " We've been deceived!" "Calm down..." "It's a hoax!" "We want our money back!" "Give us our money back!" "Get out!" "The show is over!" "Mister Ringmaster!" "How dare you appear in front of me?" "Disappear!" "I just wanted to say I'm sorry." " What good is that?" "I'll make it all up to you!" " With what?" "Take me on!" "I'm a surefire crowd puller!" "People come running to see me." "They loved my song!" "Oh, yes." "The song... what was it again?" ""The Secret of Rolli Village"." "So if the village burns, the smoke..." "...turns to happiness and joy." "And the ashes would become... gold?" "See, you remember my song!" " An interesting story." "Is it true?" "No, it's just a song." "just a song." "Are you absolutely sure?" "There's often truth behind tales." "There's no magic like that in my village." "I believe that the story is true." "Of course it's just a fairytale!" "But I admit your singing was good." "So you'll take me into the circus?" "We'll still have to think about that." " I'll do whatever it takes!" "I'm sure of that..." "You?" "Me..." "Me!" "Why are you standing there alone?" " I came back to apologise." "You don't have to." " That's what the Ringmaster said, too." "And then he..." "Well, then he..." "Well?" "Mr. Ringmaster wants to hire me - because I would pull a crowd." "I told him I'd think about it." "No!" ""Why not?" "This isn't the place for you." "You saw it's all lies and eyewash." "But you are here, too." " Believe me, Rolli!" "Besides..." "Now I have thought it over." "What did you decide?" "Leave!" "Rolli, go!" "Tell me, I can't wait!" " I've decided to give you a chance." "So you mean..." " Yes!" "I'll take you on as an artist!" "Thank you!" "I won't disappoint you." " But..." "I have one condition." "What condition?" "I want something in return." "I don't know if I have anything worthy of giving..." "In our village even..." "Except for the key, of course." "But it's not valuable either." "The key?" "Yes." "The key to the gate of Rolli Village." "It's old and rusty but valuable to us." "It's a secret but Village Elder thinks it's the legendary Golden Key." "One night some time a long time ahead- the moon will go dark and the planets will meet." "Then the magic will come true and the key will turn into gold." "But this is just a legend!" "Babblings of the Village Elder!" "That's all I've got to give." "You can have the key if you like." "So, what will it be?" "Will you accept the key in return?" "It's a deal!" "The key for a life in the circus!" "It's a deal!" "I can get the key right now." "What a dull hammer..." "There you are, Rolli!" "Maybe you should go back and check?" "Okay!" " To the catapult!" "Your key, Mr. Ringmaster." " Thank you, Rolli." "When do you want me to perform?" "Will I sing or walk on a wire?" "Or perhaps I'll start by eating fire?" "I imagine I'd be good at it!" "We have a few days' break between shows, so... what a pity!" "But I can wait because it's all part of an artist's life!" "Exactly." "Will I get my own caravan?" "It could say "Rolli of All Times" on the door!" "It's best if you live in your village for now." "Otherwise the word might spread and the audience find out - that YOU are my new star!" "I want your first entrance to be the biggest surprise ever!" "I get it." "But how will I know when..." "We'll throw you a message over the wall when we continue." "A few days and a few nights and then you get to perform..." "I promise." "Millie!" "We'll soon be performing in the same circus!" "I can't believe you gave him the key." " But it's just a useless trinket!" "It's still wrong." "The most important thing is that now I'm here, too!" "Now I can make up to the Ringmaster." " But you don't need to." "We can rehearse a number together!" " There will be no such thing." "I don't understand." "Go already!" "Return to your village." "So I shall!" "To pack my things!" "And when I return it will be to stay!" "Many nights and days I waited for the invitation to come - and the shows to start." "Did you get to perform?" "when the invitation never came, - 1 got tired of waiting." "Good morning, Rolli!" " Morning..." "Morning, Rolli!" "Ready to fix the hut roofs?" "I have things to do." "where are you going?" "Help the Blacksmith and then we'll sing." "No!" "I'm moving to the circus." " The circus?" "You'll be hearing from me soon." " I'd advise you to think again." "I know what I'm doing." " That's what you think!" "This will end poorly." "Mark my words!" "Oh, swallow your envy!" "You too can soon admire my brilliance." "Now, listen...!" " Tell everyone my greetings." "Goodbye!" "Now I've come to stay." "Where are my living quarters?" "Do we have a show tonight or are we going on a tour?" "I don't hire new performers." "I cut down on old ones." "But you promised..." "I'm going to focus on running the city." "What city?" "Touring small villages and towns doesn't pay - so why not build a real city around the circus?" "It will be called Rolli City." "And I will be the mayor." "But what...?" ""But?" "What?"" "Millie and I will build a number to draw the crowds!" "She is gone." "She said she doesn't want to see you again." "And I can't blame her." "For a thief is what you are." "Millie!" "Give me back the key!" " I already lost it." "If it isn't our circus star!" "A great honour to have you visit." " This is no visit." "I came back." "I wasn't good enough for the circus after all." "Come now, Rolli." "You have your village." "And us." "You're home again." "Everything is fine and just like before." "Of course nothing was like before." "I had taken the village key and was feeling horribly guilty." "It took a long time before anyone noticed the key was missing." "By then I was an adult." "As they say." "The key!" "Something has happened!" "This is a tragedy!" "Have there been thieves to our village?" "!" "I..." "I can get the key back." "I'll turn every stone." "Listen, folk." "I think I have hidden the key somewhere - and simply cannot remember where." "The matter was soon forgotten, - as there was no use for the key anyway." "Until one grim day..." "I am the Ambassador of Good, - urging you all to move in to Rolli City!" "To move?" "!" " Rolli Ci..." "Rolli what?" "Life in Rolli City is easy, versatile and so entertaining!" "City folk's follies!" "You should know that your village is haunted!" "How did you get the key to our village?" "This key is a gift from the Great Force of Nature!" "But that's our missing key!" "Dare you contradict the Great Force?" "Huh?" "Do you really want something that's trusted to someone else?" "No, I just..." "The old man makes the ghosts angry with his babbling!" "You're in grave danger already as it is!" "I took the key and gave it to him!" "Who... are... you?" "You promised me a place in your circus." "I have never seen him before!" "I..." "You know what I mean!" "Don't you understand?" "I wanted to join the circus, so I had to give the key in return!" "It's far too dangerous here!" "I, for one, am leaving now." "Remember:" "The gate to Rolli City is open to all of you - and there are no ghosts in my city." "Folk were more scared than ever before." "The following night was the worst." "Brilliant!" "Absolutely brilliant!" "Tomorrow those cowards will run out of their village tails straight." "Now the Forbidden Village is just a piece of forsaken rolli history." "Since then everyone has lived and grown old - in Rolli City which grew around the circus." "Elves and all kinds of creatures have made it their home." "A small community was made for us, the old folk in the Old Rolli Woods." "Hands off!" "One thing I never found out was - why the Ringmaster wanted the key." "Why did he want to leave the place deserted?" "I simply cannot comprehend it." "I think I have a clue." "Or actually I know it!" "Yes!" "He plans to come here and..." "Are you quite sure of this, Mr. Ringmaster?" "Put the telescope right there!" "Right beside the pole!" "Good!" "That's perfect!" "Even if the village burned down, the magic would still remain." "The smoke is full of joy - and the ashes turn into gold!" "But it's just a song!" "The Ringmaster thinks what I sang was true and the whole story..." "I'm sure I heard something." "Go check it out!" "It seems this place is haunted for real." "Not really?" "You dopey!" "Poor coward!" "Where was I..." "So the smoke is pure joy and the ashes are gold dust!" "That's right!" "And I will store the smoke in bottles!" "I was right." "I will keep the gold." "You will get a few morsels, too." "Tonight when the planets meet we will burn this village down." "If the rollis weren't such cowards I would summon up the troops!" "No..." "It cannot be done." "We won't..." "Now I know what to do!" " No,juniper..." "No time for misery!" "We'll teach him a lesson!" "Come!" "Now we're making a mystery plan - we'll make it as cunning as we can we are crafty, we are sly, we let our imagination ﬂy!" "It's a dangerous plot!" "Well work in secret, tell no one" "According to plan this will be fun we are crafty, we are sly, we let our imagination ﬂy!" "It's a dangerous plot!" "Listen, Fizzy!" "Ringmaster plans to burn the Rolli Village!" "Children, gather around!" "Yeah!" "There they are!" "Rolliper, Rolunus ans Rovenus." "Soon!" "Very soon!" "It's happening!" "My patience is rewarded!" "Why isn't the village glowing?" "!" "It should be golden by now!" "Never mind!" "Let's light it up anyway!" "Quickly!" "Let's torch the place!" "As soon as the flames flare, gather the smoke in these bottles!" "And the ashes in the sacks!" "Go!" "When the people of Rolli City come to see the fire - we can all mourn the terrible disaster together!" "Wha..." "What?" "!" "Help!" "No, don't!" "Return the village key!" "Give it and you may go!" "Run while you can!" "The ghosts scream at night - and torment you with fright!" "Give us the key and run!" "Did he go already?" "Are they gone already?" "Yes they're gone!" "Run!" "I'm sorry for taking the key." "I still don't know where I came from." "Well, which one of us does?" "In any case you're home now, juniper." "...and when the Ringmaster's troops attacked, juniper and I - saddled our horses for a heart attack..." "Hard attack!" "Luckily we had reinforcements, and although they had thousands..." "Excuse me..." "Fizzy, don't interrupt as I was just getting to the..." "I'm quite sure this is important to you." "Come!" "I'm sorry." "Now what?" "Millie?" "I'd like you to meet Juniper." "This is Millie the Elf." "Hello." "Leah.!" "English subtitles:" "Marko Pyhähuhta Saga Vera Oy"
