Critics Consensus

A pioneering feat in the field of twerking polar bear animation but blearily retrograde in every other respect, Norm of the North should only be screened in case of parental emergency.

Norm of the North is a rancid excursion into well-intentioned animated chaos that proves to be an excruciating endurance test no one of sound mind or body should ever attempt to watch, and that includes their children.

Rated: 0.5/4

Roxana Hadadi

Chesapeake Family Magazine

With its strangely adult plot about global warming and real estate development and its mediocre animation style, Norm of the North is one to skip.

Rated: 1.5/5

Observer (UK)

Plays like a bargain-bin mashup of tropes lifted from Happy Feet, Madagascar, Ice Age et al.

Rated: 2/5

Richard Crouse

Has little to recommend it. Padded with dance numbers - two in the first fifteen minutes alone - and montages, the best that can be said is that bad movies like this are important to remind us that the Pixar movies aren't flukes.

Rated: 0/5

Sometimes a film critic has to throw himself or herself on a bomb for the good of the movie-going public.
