Rolli: Amazing Tales (Finnish: Rölli – hirmuisia kertomuksia) is a 1991 children's fantasy film. It stars Allu Tuppurainen, Sari Mällinen, Jussi Lampi, Rolf Labbart, Risto Kaskilahti and Harri Hyttinen.
The film was nominated for and won 3 Jussi Awards in 1992 including for Best Costume Design and Best Make-Up. Sari Mällinen also won Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Maahiskeiju.
It is the first feature-length film based on Rölli created by musician and actor Allu Tuppurainen, which first appeared as a children's show on YLE TV2. The film and TV show do not share similarities except for Rölli's attire and the film being set in the Rölli Forest. Suuri Rölli, a character featured in the Rölli audio-plays, appears portrayed by actor Jussi Lampi.
The songs for the film were composed by Allu Tuppurainen, as in the TV series.
