Norm of the North will occupy the attention of young audiences while getting a message across to them about the dangers of humans going where they don’t belong. Older audiences are less well served; they’ll just have to grin and bear it.

While the film, with its preponderance of potty jokes, might placate the very young already primed by boisterous singing chipmunks, older viewers will likely find it all harder to, uh, bear.

This piece of art cannot be described with a mere review, the CGI is fantastic, the story is beautiful, Norm is actually a very nice person. The list goes on and on, Masterpiece (By the way, this is sarcasm, this movie is hot garbage and would not recommend to anyone

The animation already looks dated, and it feels as lazy as the bland narrative.

If I wasn't already convinced of this movie's obnoxiousness, its rendering of Graham's character sealed the deal.

Denounce the cynics who pander such pabulum as entertainment for children.

Occasionally Norm and everyone around him will break out into a dance, and you have to wonder if these numbers were scheduled as bathroom breaks.

The New York Times
Its plotline, involving Norm’s trek to New York to foil a condos-in-the-Arctic scheme, is inane even by the standards of animated funny animal comedy. Its gag set pieces run the gamut from uninspired to incoherent.

This was a fantastic movie, in my opinion. It has received a lot of hard reviews, however you can trust me when I say Norm of the North combines loveable character, with a surprisingly deep and thoughtful plot. Best movie of the year so far... Will probably win best animated flick in many awards.

Norm of the North is a film made for young children, that looks like it was written, produced, and animated by young children. The Film had no understandable flow, and lacks even one moment of thought provoking action. The film as a whole is fairly unfunny, though has moments of comical relief that kind of surprised me. I actually really like the character of Norm, who I felt had the best arc throughout and the best voice work, and his companions, the most untelligable characters in this film, easily offer the most laughs. The plot, however, makes no sense and most of the film tries to feel like it lives in the 21st Century, but is reduced to childish jokes. And in comparison to other animated offers of the year such as Zootopia, Kubo and the Two Strings, and even the slightly overrated The Secret Life of Pets, Norm of the North lacks any depth or even principles in its animation design. In grading the film as it was meant to be presented, a children's film, it works perfect for young kids and is sure to keep them entertained. But to anyone who is over the age of about 9, this is just a bad movie. My 3/10 comes from the fact I really enjoyed the character of Norm and his companions the lemmings made he laugh.
