Does this movie take place in Canada?


Or is it in the USA?

The journey seems to start in Grand Rapids, Michigan, U.S.A. and goes to the "North Pole"

-- though this movie erroneously places the polar city (the "North Pole") just within the Arctic Circle (in reality, the Arctic Circle is exactly half way between the city of Grand Rapids and the North Pole -- and in Canada).

Nope it would be in the USA and even since Grand Rapids is in Michigan
