Animation in America, at least theatrically, is an interesting beast. With few exceptions, local cineplexes are filled with numerous animated features produced largely by a handful of major studios. However, with the growth of boutique art house distributors like GKids and Funimation, feature animation from across the planet have been able to not only break into various art houses in larger markets, but with the right amount of buzz behind them, they’ve been able to hit even bigger screens.
One can only hope that that’s the case for the latest release from the theatrical wing of Shout! Factory Films, entitled Long Way North. Marking the directorial debut of Remi Chaye (former first Ad on films like the Oscar nominated The Secret of Kells), North introduces us to Sacha, a young girl living in the shadow of her grandfather, Oloukine, an explorer whose fate is unknown following his latest expedition.
