Lion Gate Pictures (Lionsgate Films) will join forces with India's Custer Animation Company (Crest Animation) to make the 3-D animated film "Norm of the North". The film will be shot in stereoscopic 3D, a technique that was used in Avatar. Written by Steven Steven Altiere and Daniel Daniel Altiere, the story focuses on a polar bear and three lemmings. When the ice in their hometown began to melt, several large and small animals had to migrate to other places. Later, led by polar bears, they came to New York, performed as the mascots of a company, and found out that their employer was actually responsible for the melting of the Arctic ice. This film is positioned as a family film, which is the responsibility of the Lion Gate Family Entertainment Department. Custer Animation hopes to release the film in early 2012. A spokesman for Lions Gate said: "through a variety of roles, scenes and narrations, Arctic immigrants will provide pretty good entertainment for family audiences of all ages."
