Absolutely brilliant if you like wasting time
rubengreenaway4 December 2021
Awful. Dire. Dreadful. Appalling. Films don't get any worse than this, bottom of the barrel movie if you class it as a movie. It was that awful that i am bothering to write a review. The storyline had so many side tracks they could have mad 4 different movies oh wait they did that as well. My 3 year old son starting crying when i turned it on it was that predictable and painful.

Forget that polar bear. Fantasia 2000, Dinosaur, The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis The Lost Empire, Monsters Incorporated, Lilo And Stitch, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, Finding Nemo, Home On The Range, The Incredibles, Chicken Little, Cars, Meet The Robinsons, Ratatouille, Bolt and Wall.e are so many times better.

Another Norm Movie
jeremycrimsonfox27 February 2020
Norm is back again, and this time, he is trying to prepare for the Northern Jubilee, an important event as king, which causes him to not spend time with his family. However, the crown is stolen while he sleeps, and a killer whale named Tiny tells him an ice ship is taking it to Harbin, China. However, his three kids, Maria, Quinn, and Chase, eavesdrop on him, they join him alongside their mother and Norm's wife, Elizabeth, who think this is a surprise family vacation.

Yeah, this is not a good movie for kids. Despite the Dove Foundation's Family Approved Seal, it has some crude humor that some parents may not find appropriate for their kids. Also, the film brings in more pointless characters, like Tiny the killer whale, whose voice is irritating, and Master Fu, who is the father of two boys, Pete and Repete (Yeah, those are original names for twin characters). The story sounds poorly written, and the movie has a lot of pointless scenes that take up too much of the running time of the film, with the plot only being dealt with in the last few minutes. I do not recommend this for kids.

Disgusting sequel to an already repulsive franchise the animation is as bland as ever and the jokes are as bland as molded cheese that had been left out for 30 days. Just don't watch not worth your time.

...not too bad a way to kill 90 minutes
nnwahler26 August 2022
This latest "Norm of the North" entry I would place a couple of notches above the previous two. Really, I scarcely think any of the series' entries are ones I'd give a "good" rating-they all have such contrived storylines, with plotholes big enough to drive a dozen semis through. They do everything to masquerade the fact they're just marking time. I was enamored enough of the title character to go for every single sequel, but I learned quickly to expect fairly little from any of them.

This fourth episode deals with a subject I wished the second film would dive right into-Norm's family. Indeed, if that movie had eliminated half the gags involving the lemmings farting to make room for our hero's loved ones, it would already have been significantly improved. Norm's eldest son Quinn is the only one seen in the third film, and then only as a minor supporting character.

So the present entry finds Norm busy doing anything but paying attention to his kingly duties--he's always gotta be the "regular guy". But his family coaxes him into a vacation, so off they go on a boat and in no time at all they're on a faraway terrain, with his spouse/queen Elizabeth taking selfies every inch of the way. They spend time at an amusement park, and get mixed up with a family of white tigers whose monarchy is threatened. They're likable enough characters, but having so many characters with white fur (and blue eyes) threatens to give this film an unimaginative look, but thankfully never does so. The movie's a bumpy ride like the others, but it has its moments. My favorite gag is the two kings crying, with Norm blowing his nose into the main tiger's fur.

I thought this was comedy, but no... Not for kids at all, trust me not worth ur time!! I have no idea why there are sequels of this movie I mean seriously? Bland and poorly written... Unnecessary scenes and randomness. Nothing really unexpected happened making it more boring then your grandma (no offence meant). There are annoying kids which are straight up annoying. And it is for 1 year olds who won't understand this movie. It's just to straight forward and it just downrated the whole company who made this.

Simply put, this movie is bad and the whole series are equally as bad as this dumb move.

A Chillingly Average Adventure
Mysterygeneration9 March 2024
Norm of the North: Family vacations may entice you with images of adorable animals having fun, but be prepared for a mediocre trip to the north. Even though the animation is marginally better than in previous iterations, this unmemorable movie cannot be saved.

The plot is as thin as polar bear fur in summer. Norm, the self-proclaimed "King of the North," struggles to juggle his royal duties with quality family time. This flimsy setup leads to an uninspired "vacation" that's actually a quest to recover his stolen crown.

Here's where things get icy. The humor falls flat more often than it lands, relying on tired puns and childish gags. The new characters, including a family of white tigers, blend into the background, failing to add any spark. Even the environmental message, a staple of the series, feels phoned in.

Norm of the North: Family Vacation isn't very objectionable, but it doesn't have enough charm or humor to hold the interest of adults above the age of eight. This icy journey is best left on the iceberg if you're searching for an animated film that is actually really entertaining.

cleejr23 November 2021
This Sequel ain't bad it's actually very good. Animation Improved Abit, Acting is very decent, Good Character development including Quinn, Peter and Repete are really great at least they regret their decision and Norm also did learn to balance time as well.
