Swifty the arctic fox works in the mail room of the Arctic Blast Delivery Service but dreams of one day becoming a Top Dog. That’s the premise behind Aaron Woodley’s (Spark: A Space Tail) new film Arctic Dogs. Produced in Canada by many behind The Nut Job and its sequels, this new film boasts an all star voice cast including Jeremy Renner, Alec Baldwin, James Franco, Angelica Huston, John Cleese and Heidi Klum. In theaters nationwide this November 8th. Here’s the trailer:

To prove himself worthy of the Top Dog role, Swifty secretly commandeers one of the sleds and delivers a package to a mysterious location. He stumbles upon a secret fortress where he comes face to face with Otto Von Walrus, a blubbery evil genius who walks around on mechanical legs and commands a loyal army of oddly polite puffin henchmen. Swifty soon discovers Von Walrus’ plan to melt the polar ice caps and flood the world in order to reign supreme. Now, Swifty has to enlist the help of his friends: PB, a concerned polar bear, Lemmy, a scatterbrained albatross, Bertha and Leopold, two conspiracy theorist otters and Jade, a worldly fox. This ragtag group of Arctic misfits has to band together to stop Von Walrus’ sinister plans and save the day.
