What happens

The Legend of Sarila (French: La Légende de Sarila) is a 2013 Canadian animated adventure film and Canada's first 3D animated feature film. The film draws heavily on Inuit culture and tradition. Set in northern Canada in 1910, it tells the story of three young Inuit, who set out for the legendary land of Sarila in search of food for their clan. One of them, Markussi, finds out during their adventures that he is really an Inuit shaman, while the clan's shaman at home repeatedly attempts to kill him and undermine their quest. The film was picked up for distribution in the United States by Phase 4 Films, under the title Frozen Land (not to be confused with the Finnish movie Frozen Land) and with an adapted logo in order to mimic Disney's Frozen, which resulted in a lawsuit with Disney.
