Norm of the North: King Sized Adventure

Don't believe the negative reviews. My 3 year old and I watched this film last night and both loved it! It reminded me of an animated Indiana Jones. By the end he was cheering which had me cracking up!

Fun movie to watch with a bunch of 8-9 yo kids; they all love it!

Wow, if Keys To The Kingdom was not bad enough, Lionsgate actually has the nerve to give us a second sequel, and it's just as bad. The plot is basically Norm finds a human named Jin who crashed in the Artic trying to keep a Chinese artifact out of the hands of Dexter, a villainous archeologist. Jin has Norm promise if he does not make it, to take the artifact to his grandson, Chen, in Beijing, having Norm go on a quest while also keeping his promise to do his grandfather's wedding. Also, there's a B story where Quinn is acting king to help with wedding preparations, and he acts like a total jerk to everyone.

While the movie tries to teach kids a moral about keeping promises, it does not do well. The Lemmings are a bad rip-off of Chip and Dale, the B story is horrible and adds nothing to the plot, only being there to force the moral down our throats, and the humor is not funny. Your kids deserve better animated films than this garbage, so if you are a parent, steer clear of this king size abomination and buy something from Disney or Warner Bros.

These Norm of the North movies keep getting better and better with this one being a masterpiece of film-making it's to bad this wasn't shown in threaders and couldn't have seen this.

It is amazing what the producers were able to do on such a modest budget. Endearing characters, strong storytelling and it looks terrific. "Norm" is a lot of fun, particularly for anyone who has followed the franchise. The kids loved it and can't wait to see the next one!
