"Long Way North"is a movie that will be released this Friday in theaters all across the US, but Shout! Kids Factory and my blog are giving you an early look at this great movie. This movie has won several awards in Tokyo and I feel it will here also.
Re'mi Chaye' is the director of this film. This film is not a comedy like movies for kids such as Cars, Cinderella ect... It is more of a hand drawn animation and storytelling throughout the movie as well.
In this film you will feel the love a young girl has for her grandfather and the determination she has to find him. Sacha is the girl and her parents have already planned and chosen the man for her to marry, but Sacha is only concerned about her grandfather who sailed North. Sacha is from Russia and her grandfather was as well, but he always had plans to visit the North Pole.
Everyone figures the grandfather to be dead, but Sacha knows the ship was unsinkable. Even though she knows nothing about anything past Russia, she decides to run away with a map her grandfather left behind. Although Sacha is determined to go to the North Pole she has no money on her. One day she meets a sailor who promises her a ride on his ship to the North. All Sacha has to give him is a pair of very expensive earrings her grandfather gave her. So the man takes them for payment.
