Roland (Strange Magic)

Roland is the main antagonist in the 2015 animated film Strange Magic. He is voiced by Sam Palladio.

Role in the film
At the beginning of the film, Roland at first appeared to be excited about his upcoming marriage with Marianne. However, he was seen kissing another girl behind her back. Also, during a ball, it was revealed that the real reason for this was to rule the forest and more importantly, to be blessed with the king's army. In order to do that, he sends Sunny out on an errand to the dark forest so that the sugar plum fairy would make up a bottle of love potion.

While Roland planned to use it onto Marianne at an air festival, The Bog King and his minions crash the party and then abducts Marianne's sister Dawn. He grew furious after Sunny's "errand" resulted Marianne into beginning the rescue mission by herself.

Later on, he was able to led the king's army into the dark forest. At the Bog King's throne room, he demanded that The Bog King would hand Marianne over in exchange for giving him the love potion. After a brief fight, he singaled, "GO", and had a few soldiers tear the castle down. In the end, he blows the potion into Marianne's face and hoped to "earn" her love in an instant. However, due to her true feelings for the Bog King, the potion did not take effect. Marianne then punches him in the face.

During the credits, Roland was seen kissing a bug in a valley and apparently fell in love with it.
