Norm of the North	comment	Norm of the North is a 2016 CGI-animated film distributed by Lionsgate, produced by Splash Entertainment, and animated by India's Assemblage Entertainment and features the voices of Rob Schneider, Heather Graham, Ken Jeong, Colm Meaney, Loretta Devine, Gabriel Iglesias, Michael McElhatton and Bill Nighy.When Norm, a polar bear with the gift of talking to humans, discovers that tourists are invading his home and interfering with the lives of dozens of other animals, he and three lemmings travel to New York City in order to convince the humans that they shouldn't intrude on their home. While there, they find out that a company run by Mr. Greene is looking for a new mascot. Using his special gift, Norm decides to become the company's mascot in an attempt to convince the humans that they should save the Arctic instead of tearing it down.Three sequels — Norm of the North: Keys to the Kingdom, Norm of the North: King Sized Adventure, and Norm of the North: Family Vacation — have been released; the first one got a limited release in theaters, while the latter two went Direct to Video. A fifth movie was also announced, but nothing's been heard of it since.
