Meet Norm – a not-so-normal polar bear who has taken it upon himself to protect the land he calls home – The Arctic. In the adorable upcoming animated feature, Norm of the North, Norm and his furry sidekicks venture to New York City to stop the big, evil corporations from turning their home into the newest vacation destination. Get a first look at the mischief they’ve rallied up in the film’s brand new trailer and find out how their adventure ends when Norm of the North heads to the big screen on January 15, 2016.
About The Film:
Norm Of The North: A polar bear of many words, Norm’s greatest gripe is simple: there is no room for tourists in the Arctic. But when a maniacal developer threatens to build luxury condos in his own backyard, Norm does what all normal polar bears would do – he heads to New York City to stop it.
