...Well, at least Ilymation achieved the dreams that she wanted?

[@DanGamingFan2846]

All I remember about this one is seeing a trailer for it, forgeting about it, then spoting a DVD of the sequel at a gas station and thinking aloud "How did this happen?"

[@superfanmusicmaker]

It’s often pointed out that the lemmings are a blatant rip-off of the Minions, but as annoying as the Minions are, at least Illumination actually tried to make them kind of distinct characters. The Minions all look the same (there’s only like four distinct designs and they’re all copy-pasted hundreds of times), but Gru can somehow tell them apart and knows all of their names despite there literally being thousands of them. This is not only funny for its absurdity, but it’s also genuinely sweet because it shows that Gru doesn’t consider the minions his faceless henchmen, but his actual friends/family. It fleshes out their relationship beyond master and minion, but also actively complements the themes and story by showing early on that Gru isn’t the heartless, evil villain that he’s trying to present himself as. Whereas in _Norm Of The North_ Norm exclusively refers to the lemmings as just “lemmings”. He doesn’t know or care about them as individuals and only sees them as a group. They have no names or distinct personalities, they add nothing to Norm’s personality or even the film itself, and they’re just generic, one-dimensional comic relief.

[@randomkidontheinternet5893]

Norm is more heartless than Despicable me 1 Gru. I'd say I'm surprised, but...who am I kidding, of course I'm not!

[@ShellySwirl]

The minions are much funnier than the lemmings.., I remember wanting to tear my hair out at the lemmings. This might look funny but the minions seem way more tolerable.. Also the minions are sometimes sweet, too like when they followed Gru's orders to give Agnus a new unicorn and then came back with one. And then Agnus gave one of them a "thank you" kiss. The minions have more personality imo. The lemmings are just- no..

[@bighand1530]

I believe they made the Spanish dub somewhat decent, a lot better than the English one so it doesn't fail too hard in Chile and Argentina, two of the biggest market in the South where January (technically February) isn't a bad month for movies Didn't work, but if this was intended, well played.

[@TunaBear64]

[@JustJustin0225]

I just realized something. Whatever happened to Norm’s dad? Wouldn’t he be next in line for being king instead of Norm himself?

He was the king that told Norm to stop worrying about humans. I guess he just stepped down at the end and disappeared in the sequels.

Rob Schneider isn't just Cedric in Home Alone 2 - he's in like every Adam Sandler movie (or at least the ones from the "before" times): he's the guy who always says "You can do it!" in a weird accent.

[@vibingthings]

Ohhhh- I remember watching this in my cinema. And even as a child, I still thought: 'Huh. This is weird.'

[@bloodrunsclear]

What's odd is that Norm is actually the latest in attempt to adopt a supposedly 'cursed' screenplay. --- The movie called Atuk was about an Eskimo that travels to New York City to save The Arctic. The reason it's believed to be cursed is that it was intended to star John Belushi, Sam Kinison, John Candy. Chris Farley and Phil Hartman...ALL of whom died untimely deaths before they could be in the film. --- But if you look at the screenplay, Norm is basically Atuk only with a bear instead of an Eskimo!

[@jbcatz5]

There’s also the question of how Norm’s iPod still holds charge after years, in a cold climate. This is a drinking game movie. And how does Norm not overheat in New York?

[@TunaBear64]

Maybe be he just got it, also if we don't question why the males don't try to kill each other on the movie we shouldn't question the other thing either

I think this is the kind of movies that deserve the most to be labeled as “Terrible” in your videos Dazz. I mean, you are a great KZbinr but I have a constructive critique: Sometimes you add movies that are underwhelming or flawed but not outright awful so I think you should add a separate category for those.

I remember I was in highschool when a friend of mine won two movie tickets for this movie and asked me to go with her. We hadn't even watched the trailer and just expected at least an AVERAGE movie. I already had my doubts since the movie poster didn't look promising and since I'm from latin america the animated movies in cinemas are ALWAYS dubbed, so the translated tittle read 'Norm and the invincibles' (yeah idk why either). We were in the vip zone, watching this shit hole in 3D, I never felt so tortured in my life. I prayed for it to end and it only got worse and worse and worse. They gave my friend a SHIRT of this garbage, and yes she wore it. When we finally got out of the movie I was in shock, realizing my afternoon was totally wasted and my friend just goes: "It was good right?" I said yes because I really appreciated them but I was just screaming inside during the majority of it

[@Froggycolouring]

How did they even plan to put a house in the artic anyways? It’s literally pure ice, if you tried to put a house there the ice would break, and if it somehow didn’t break it would still have no support(especially since the house and the beginning of the movie wasn’t attached underground, just sitting on top of the ice), they’d also have no energy or sewage system since again you can’t exactly run pipes through the ice, and energy would be crucial since how cold it is, yet they don’t have and way to get it aside from temporary generators, which are fine for short research trips, but for living there? Also in the winter is literally not habitable, people will just die unless they have it as a vacation home, but if you’re that rich you might as well just get a vacation house somewhere else instead.

[@TunaBear64]

1:59 Honestly that could have lead to part where young Norm goes rouge after being called a freak by his own species and an quite familiar human sees him, and since is a talking polar bear cub is alone, is adopted and he adapts to human culture, but never learning to hunt. But when he grows is returned back to the artic then the plot goes as usual. Deep, touching and fixes some plot holes, it gets my seal of approval. 2:17 Wtf Splash, not even 10 minutes into the movie and TWO deleted scenes where actually good. You made this movie bad in purpose? You wanted the easy joke awards of Worst at ______? Because it didn't worked.
