We’ve got our hands on a first preview clip of Norm of the North, the upcoming CG adventure comedy animated movie directed by Trevor Wall:

Norm of the North – Tourists love us!Plot synopsis:
“A polar bear of many words, Norm (Rob Schneider)’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. With a cast of ragtag lemmings at his side, Norm takes on the big apple, big business and a big identity crisis to save the day.”

The number of tourists travelling to the Artic is still relatively small. But mass tourism is developing. If Norm and his friends keep working on their show the word will spread and they will become famous for sure!

In theaters: January 15, 2016.

Plot synopsis:
“Writer and Adderall enthusiast Stephen Elliott reaches a low point when his estranged father resurfaces, claiming that Stephen has fabricated much of the dark childhood that that fuels his writing. Adrift in the precarious gray area of memory, Stephen is led by three sources of inspiration: a new romance, the best friend who shares his history, and a murder trial that reminds him more than a little of his own story.”

Amber heard is really cute on that picture, but James Franco looks like a famish toad…

Anyway, for those who don’t know what Adderall is, here’s a description from Wikipedia:
