With all the mature movies hitting theaters lately, it seems like family films are getting fewer and far between. One of the films opening this weekend in the new animated feature NORM OF THE NORTH, featuring the voices of Rob Schneider, Heather Graham, Ken Jeong and Bill Nighy. In the story Schneider provides his voice for a well-meaning polar bear that takes a trip to New York City in hopes of saving his home. During his recent stop in Dallas where he was doing a weekend of shows for the Improv Comedy Club in Addison, I had a chance to sit down with Rob and talk about his work on the film, as well as other projects including THE RIDICULOUS 6 and REAL ROB, both on Netflix. Check out the interview below, and look for NORM OF THE NORTH in theaters this weekend.
