The trailer for the upcoming animated film, Norm of the North, was released.

Set for a theatrical release on January 15, 2016, we can gather from the trailer that the computer-animated film centers on a polar bear named Norm, voiced by Rob Schneider. He’s sent to New York to dissuade humans from moving to his homeland, the Arctic. While in New York, he experiences the usual “bear out of water” story and gets entangled with a corporation that has the Arctic in their scopes.

The rest of the voice cast includes Ken Jeong, Loretta Devine, Heather Graham, Bill Nighy, and Gabriel Iglesias, amongst others. The film is directed by Trevor Wall, who is most famous for directing episodes of the computer-animated Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch television series. The film is produced by Splash Entertainment and distributed by Lionsgate.
