Animation in America, at least theatrically, is an interesting beast. With few exceptions, local cineplexes are filled with numerous animated features produced largely by a handful of major studios. However, with the growth of boutique art house distributors like GKids and Funimation, feature animation from across the planet have been able to not only break into various art houses in larger markets, but with the right amount of buzz behind them, they’ve been able to hit even bigger screens.
One can only hope that that’s the case for the latest release from the theatrical wing of Shout! Factory Films, entitled Long Way North. Marking the directorial debut of Remi Chaye (former first Ad on films like the Oscar nominated The Secret of Kells), North introduces us to Sacha, a young girl living in the shadow of her grandfather, Oloukine, an explorer whose fate is unknown following his latest expedition.

Every week I'll round up the biggest arts stories from around the web, recommend a long read and look ahead at what's coming up
Each Thursday, I am going to round up the main arts stories of the week. Here's the first instalment.
• It was Turner prize shortlist week. Here's Adrian Searle's verdict on Spartacus Chetwynd, Paul Noble, Elizabeth Price, and Luke Fowler. Fowler is yet another Glaswegian – or, rather Glasgow-based artist. He studied in Dundee. (Trivia: Elizabeth Price was in the 1980s indie band Talulah Gosh, as was the philosophy editor of Oxford University Press and the chief economist and director of mergers at the Office of Fair Trading.)
• Arts Council England/the BBC launched the Space. The reports mostly focused on the fact that John Peel's record collection will gradually be made available to rifle through online, but perhaps you should think of it as a "YouTube...
