or maybe he didn't kill them because he got tunnel vision and didn't realize until later and balled himself out for it then again that's a bit trickier and these people couldn't wright an intact plot
Even funnier if when the two that get stuck in his mouth fly in, he spits ONE out and swallows the other casually. Like that could even be a major explanation for why he doesn't really go hunting them. Lemmings being like some combo of soy and popcorn: flavorless, plentiful, and you dont really even mentally register having eaten it. And they're dumb enough to have no sense of survival themselves.
Yeah it would actually and he'd poop them out alive later which would not only explain why he wouldn't just eat them but add on to that haha Lemmings can't die joke plot point or whatever
''This movie is turning me into a Captain Planet villain!'' That....that would actually be awesome. The Mysterious Mr Enter, defeats Captain Planet by pointing out the flaws in his show. XD
The villain of The Incredibles 2 has the same problem as the hero of Norm of the North. Evelyn Deavor wants to use technology and superheroes to destroy our trust in them. Because supers are already illegal, it's all Evelyn's fault if she aids her brother Winston in his plan to legalize supers by showing us why we can count on supers before telling us why we can't count on supers. If she didn't create Screenslaver problems for Elastigirl to stop, Winston's plan is guaranteed to fail without Evelyn as much as Mr. Greene was guaranteed to fail without Norm. To The Incredibles 2's credit, I don't think it is bad enough to turn Mr. Enter into Syndrome. The other supers in The Incredibles 2 don't do what the lemmings did for Mr. Enter to want them dead.

Rob Schneider does the voice of a talking, twerking polar bear with lemming sidekicks who use every bodily function joke known to man, and the first line is literally "Don't listen to the haters." That's all you really need to know what you're in for.
A VERY well-made film with relatable characters, an engaging story, and incredible animation. One that will be remembered for decades to come. But that's enough about Zootopia. Norm of the North on the other hand...
Ironically, one of the very few environmental movies that were good, was Finding Nemo. And it did it very indirectly. There was no 'in your face' anything. Just "Look how beautiful this place is!". Brought attention to the Reef without screaming GLOBAL WARMING!!!!
That's not really true. Finding Nemo is really more about not keeping wild animals as pets, a theme that is continued in the sequel but applied to aquariums which is a bit more problematic since unlike private pet owners aquariums do a lot of conservation and wildlife protection work and in fact are responsible for literally saving species from extinction. But Finding Nemo hurts public perception of how bad the Great Barrier Reef is really doing by presenting it as this lush, thriving, colorful ecosystem. It doesn't bring any attention to how bad the Reef was doing even back in 2003 and that's another problem: over-exposure to critically endangered animals in the media results in a public who doesn't think these animals are really in all that much danger. For example: did you know that there are probably less than 100,000 giraffes in all of Africa? If you are interested in a fun animated movie about animals that has an environmental message that isn't shoved down your throat try Rango. The whole movie's plot is about how cities built in the American Southwest desert (like Las Vegas) are destroying local ecosystems by sucking dry the water those animals need to live and using it to keep expensive golf courses green.
@@OsirisLord You forgot the part where some Americans who saw the movie released their pet saltwater fish into the wrong ocean, and now there are invasive lionfish off Long Island.
@@OsirisLord Back when I interned at a zoo we discussed it. Unfortunately stuff like Finding Dory tends to paint all animals in captivity as entirely bad. “Just let them go back home-“ Fact is…some of these animals don’t have a home to go back to. And I mean we could try, but… Well, poachers are dead set on keeping that from happening. I’ve seen recovered traps. I’ve seen the guns that the ranger teams have taken from them. They have no qualms about shooting other *people*. Rangers out there are at constant risk.

Polar bears were like my fav animals once, probably cause I used to love The Golden Compass from the His Dark Materials trilogy as a kid but now they just make me angry
(on the phone) viacom executive: Yes sir, we own the hipster with noodle arms, the vegan polar bears, and the minion lemmings!... yes i'm serious... I WILL SUE YOU FOR SAYING THAT!...hello?... FUCK
Happy Feet, The Lion King, Open Season, all of these movies have something in common: they're better than Norm Of The North, so Norm Of The North ripped them all off.
One thing that just occured to me as to why the whole Lion King rip-off doesn't work. A lion kingdom makes sense, because lions live in groups with a hierarchy. Polar bears, on the other hand, are solitary animals. Why would they be living in this big society? It makes no sense. Also, building anything permanent on the Arctic ice is impossible. The Arctic isn't like Antarctica, there is no solid continent underneath the ice, it's literally just one giant glacier that's constantly moving, which means any building put up there would eventually just slide into the ocean.
And Simba technically wouldn't be next in line to be king either, male lions leave their original prides and will go and usurp another lion pride, so the scene where Scar kills Mufasa somewhat makes sense from a biological perspective, Scar essentially took over Mufasa's territory and later lost it again to Simba.
At least the Lion King royalty is part of the movie, while in Norm Of The North. Royalty didn't matter in fact I bet if he wasn't royal none of this would be any different. I bet they just wanted to make him royal just because he's the main character and an animal. That didn't work to well with Bambi but at least it was made by the company.
...So... Mr. Greene wants to make commercials to convince people to go to the arctic... and Norm wants to keep people away from the arctic... So Norm tries to keep people away from the arctic by helping Mr. Greene make commercials to convince people to go to the arctic...? What the fuck? That's like jumping into a river because you don't want to get your clothes wet.
I would think the best plan for Norm be to make the arctic look terrible through the commercials but cleverly making it sound good with an upbeat voice to fool Mr. Greene, like "Enjoy vast empty wastelands of nothing but below-freezing cold!" And then the joke would be it backfires and people end up loving the idea of moving to the arctic due to Norm''s promotion, as kind of a parody of advertising.
In a good version, green will have had good aproval because he brainwashes and makes people think condos are a great idea, norme makes the comercials worse and people realize its a stupid idea. But he's so rich and smart that he manages to bribe the whole polar council. Norme goes to stop him, his grandpa or the lemmings die and norme is an actual hero.

First thing coming to mind: "How the hell do you expect anyone to buy property in the Artic, of all places? That's dumb, even for a cartoon villain" Then turns out the villain doesn't really have to try hard to convince anyone. Because it's that kind of movie, where everyone is a dumbass. It's an old pattern with kid cartoons/movies: everyone else outside of the main characters, is either a moron at best, or a dick at worst. 😂
You know if this was about a black bear, a panda, a sloth bear, a sun bear, or a grizzly bear I could them not being able to hunt because they're omnivores, speaking of which the polar bear is also omnivorous but the only real plants it can eat is seaweed, so yeah norm should've starved years ago.
I have an idea how to make this movie better, how about we make the plot make some fucking sense for once. First off, Norm can't kill because he had a brother in the past who tried to eat a seal and fell into the water after hitting his head on the ice and drowning. Norm falls into depression and Elizabeth ends up trying to cheer him as a girlfriend and she sort of does, his parents think he is just a good for nothing failure and will not ever amount to something. One day his grandfather is out and sees the humans recording and goes around snooping about the house to see what the human's plans are and he finds plans of Greene's destruction for the Artic for his own profit. His grandfather ends up getting captured by the humans, taken to New York. Socrates sees this, tells Norm this that his grandfather was taken as Socrates ended up following his grandfather into the building instead of showing Norm. Norm takes this opportunity to save his grandfather and prove once and for all he is not a failure. The Lemmings stay for the comedic effect and help along with his adventure (cutting out the piss scenes and actually being helpful). Once in New York, Norm has to find his grandfather and ends up running into Vera out on the streets who is coming home from work after a stressful day of not finding anyone to fill this role and having the possibility of being fired. (Now I know the issue of Norm being a polar bear in New York but maybe it would be better to have this film taking place in the winter and Greene wants the houses up by the summer so he gets the most profit in the summertime.) Olympia instead of being upset wants her mother to be happy and knows that even though her mom is gone a lot she still loves her and befriends Norm because he needs to stay somewhere. Vera is an environmentalist so she isn't going to turn away a talking bear (kids movie duh). Vera is trying to get Norm to be the mascot for the company so she can keep her job but Norm tells Olympia his entire plan because she wanted to get to know a talking bear. What kid wouldn't? She finds out his plan and is torn between helping out her mother who is helping destroy the artic and Norm who wants to become a King. The Lemmings sneak in with Norm one day and take out the security systems with how small they are sending the building into chaos. Norm tries to sneak into the room with his grandfather and it ends up being locked tight. Greene doesn't want to lose him. The reason Vera wanted to find a new mascot is because she knows that his grandfather is not being taken good care of and will possibly die. (Spoiler Alert : in this version he dies.) His grandfather ends up passing away and Norm tries to destroy the company by saying all the wrong things but Greene distorts his words. Once this has happened, approval ratings are sent up and Norm is sent into the cell where his grandfather died, the Lemmings come in to try and save him along with the help of Olympia and her friend from school. (Which should have been explained earlier, she has a guy friend at school who is like a computer geek.) They end up breaking the code and deactivating all the security measures. Norm is brought to Vera's house and has to figure out a way to stop Greene so the Lemmings end up stealing the boat before Greene gets it and sink it but the Lemmings don't make it out. Greene is at the dock when he sees this happening and Norm sneaks up behind him, killing Greene by knocking his head against the ground and throwing him into the water to drown. Norm then runs away back up into the Artic to tell everything that happened, his parents disapprove, tourists slowly dwindle due to the Greene fiasco, Elizabeth breaks up with Norm because of him killing a man and he slowly slides back into depression later killing himself by jumping off the cliff and banging his head on the ice. (This went real dark real fast i know)
I think the title of "Shut Up and Dance" was supposed to be taken literally. They were saying, "Hey, stop paying attention to how horrible this movie is, just ignore all of it because we have a catchy pop song! Turn your brain off, and just shut up and dance!"
yeah, that picture is great... a better idea is sawing norms legs off while restrained and then let him bleed to death, and smashing the lemmings with a sledgehammer until the eyes and guts come out is a good too... i know, i'm a psycho... when it comes to hating, i'm a psycho.
We actually did win, but Mr Enter can't let go of this "review" which in a way isn't fair use considering it was barely edited and is almost the same length as the film itself because he just goes on a tangent on something that has nothing to do with the film.
+ssjMarioX9000 How exactly is he going off on a tangent? He's talking about the film and criticizing its flaws the whole time. Even if he does get overly angry and dramatic at some points, his criticism of the movie is still valid and counts as fair use. Also, the movie is over twice as long as this review.
***** Sometimes he is criticizing flaws, but most of the time he would just nitpick on the flaw while bringing up a different subject that has nothing to do with the film/episode. I know the film is twice as long, but still, no one would watch a video for 40 minutes out of their spare time. Most reviews have to be short, simple and to the point, that way the review would keep the viewers attention. When Mr Enter over analyzes he makes the review longer, he doesn't get to the message across from his long videos, and the viewers usually lose interest in long videos. Not to mention his videos are a bit boring, which makes it worse; he should really find ways to keep his viewers engaged to his videos to get better views. Also He kinda takes things a bit too seriously.
That Censoring Guy(someone who censors videos for people who don't like hearing people, but still want to watch the video) made a censored version of this and it got copyright claimed by Lionsgate.
Diamond The Hedgehog MrEnter points out all the flaws in the show and effectively kills Captain Planet. That’s how I can picture that fight going down. The best part? MrEnter gets away with it unscathed
Actually, that GIR clip explains why this movie doesn't make any kind of sense. Zim's latest plan to subjugate humanity was hypnosis via an animated film. Unfortunately, he let GIR write the script, and it bombed. Now everything makes sense. Forever.
To be fair. Ed Wood and Vic Savage were born to do that (If you seen Plan 9 from Outer Space and The Creeping Terror, you will know what i'm talking about)
Before going into the theater to see this movie: Me: This is going to suck My Mom: Don't be so negative After the movie: My Mom: ... Me: 😏 My Mom: shut up
On a 40 minute long video uploaded 5 minutes ago? I don't care if this a re-upload. If anything, that makes worse for their defense. "Oh, there's that video I didn't like. Let me dislike it again. That'll show him." Pathetic. They need to get a hobby. It's like they jumped on the video to dislike it.
True. I only like videos after I watched them completely and enjoyed them. But those people, we just call them sheep. RU-vidrs make mistakes, and if people blindly like the video without watching the whole thing, well, that youtuber won't get better in quality, won't know if he's/she's really on the right path.
The difference between the lemmings and the minions is that the first two disspicable me movies are good and they only got annoying when they get their own movie.
THE we bare bears cast movies Panda is freaking because of how good Kung fu panda was. Grizz is satisfied with brother bear. Ice bear is literally destroying lions gate for making this thing.
Here we go again. The "parent too caught up in their own life" trope has been done well in the past. In that case, the parent was wealthy, to the point where they didn't need or want any more money. But what made Rosa Ushiromiya interesting was that she never got over the disappearance of her lover (that is, the father of her daughter), and was convinced that if she could make her business succeed, then he'd come back. Because of this, she spent so much time between her company and a string of boyfriends that she ended up neglecting her daughter Maria. Since nobody would stay with her for very long due to the existence of Maria, Rosa ended up descending from a kind person doing the best she could with the hand she was dealt into a bitter and resentful woman, and her neglect slowly came closer to being abuse, as Maria was forced to spend multiple days alone, and was often smacked while Rosa was actually around. The themes their plot explored include stuff like hope turning into bitterness, the differing perspectives of events, and even how the most seemingly unforgivable deeds can still be atoned for.
Speaking of that character who looked straight out of the Bratz cartoon...yep. It's the same studio. Not surprised; their CGI was always pretty terrible. The Bratz cartoon has some of the worst CGI, even for an animated series and direct-to-video movies from the mid-2000s. That being said...somehow the Bratz cartoon is more watchable than Norm of the North. But that's not saying much; ANYTHING is more watchable than this.
This was made by people who too stupidly immature moronic, idiotic buffoons who think that both fart jokes and pee jokes are funny where, in reality, they not, they are immature jokes that most people find it unfunny and immature for them.
As a (minor) defense for the scene with the bear suit guy pretending to be Norm in the house, they had never seen Norm with his mask off, given that they assume he's a person in a polar bear suit. So I'm.....HOPING their intention with that scene was for them to assume that's what he looks like without the mask.
True, and I think that's what they were going for... problem is, the video cameras HAD to have gotten footage of him walking into the house with the fake polar bear mask, because that's how Greene eventually realizes it isn't Norm. So Greene should've been able to see through this plan a lot sooner than he did. Not to mention that the guy in the suit doesn't really sound or act like Norm at all. You'd think Greene would be able to tell the difference after being around Norm for so much of the movie.
Here's a way to fix the plot. Norm is an outcast for talking to Humans and liking Human Music which depresses him. His father who is the King and the Grandfather combined encourages him as it's said that they were gifted by a snow fairy to protect the arctic. Soon after Norm Discovers people drilling for Oil in the arctic which is destroying people's homes, Norm realizes his father's disappeared and tries to find him ending up in New York (During the Winter time around Christmas) By accident. There he meets Mister Green who is a Rival to Vera who is trying to save the Arctic and having her own stuff with Olympia. Mr. Green gives him the Sell the Arctic to save the Arctic speel to Norm to get him to be an Icon to drill in the Arctic and possibly set up Automated Factories there. He also tells Norm that Vera is the one trying to destroy the arctic while he's trying to save it, causing Norm to sabotage Vera as well and runs into Olivia who does a report on Magic for Home economics. Vera being very sciency doesn't actively support her interest in the Mythical empathizing with Norm. She eventually reveals the truth about Vera and Mr. Green and they discover that Mr. Green had his Father the whole time. Norm eventually rescues him and Olympia gives her mom papers to expose Mr. Green for Illegal construction and oil mining in the Arctic Norm returns home where he is hailed a hero but promises to return every Christmas for Vera's Christmas party as a special Guest visitor about the Arctic and the Magic of the Northern lights
why does literally every fucking character do the exact opposite of what would make sense, seriously what the fuck its like it was opposite day when they were making this movie.
I remember a post on Tumblr about that whole parent cliche. It was something to the effect of "Can we stop this cliche demonizing hardworking parents. Like, why do you think they're working so hard in the first place???"
Agreed. This kind of plot only works when it's clear that the parent doesn't need to work as much as they do... or if they're all about the job even when they're not at work. Either way, lots more nuance needed than "working parent bad".
Just like how the caribou are rip offs of the stags from Brother Bear, or how the F*CKING LEMMINGS are rip offs of Minions and every other dumb comic relief that doesn't speak.
20:47 Greene finally snaps after realizing he is in the Norm of the North movie and opens fire with a fully loaded automatic assault rifle in a crowded restaurant. After killing 37 people and injuring 12 others, Greene ends his own life by firing upwards into the roof of his mouth. Police investigations are currently ongoing.
The moral of Coraline is basically 'don't be a brat, your parents are allowed to work hard and are people and you should appreciate them.' This is the only example I can think of though.
- Intro to movie - 0:35 Oh, look, the animation is pretty good for something a smaller company made! I love the fur! 1:11 "Don't listen to the haters, Norm." Aaaaaand I'm out. Rip this thing to shreds.
The babblig in front of your crush like an idiot "cliche" i can understand. yes it's highly overused but it makes sense. when ur overwhelemed you kinda don't know what to say. heck im in a relationship and whenever my lover says something that embarasses me and i try to respond it just devolves into senseless babbling
El TardBiscuit I can understand, too, but what I can't stand anymore is the overuse of it... That and the workaholic parent cliche that can burn in the deepest pit of Hell!
El TardBiscuit Yeah, I can understand it too. Whenever I think of any crush I've had I kinda start babbling on. But sometimes it's used SO MUCH that it just annoys the hell out of me.
I can understand being unsure what to say and afraid of doing something stupid and pissing your crush off to blow your first impression, but they use it in EVERY - SINGLE - BLOODY - MOVIE!
I like it when it's used in specific moderation. Like best example, "talking to your crush with relative ease and having real conversations and getting to know each other, but then they ask something along the lines of 'how do I look,' and then the first character gets flustered while trying to tell them they look good." That's the best use of it for me because it's cuter when you're actually TRYING to flirt with or compliment the person and that's what makes you flustered; not just talking to them outright. (You can still be nervous around them while still being able to speak to them normally.)
It burns a little more to know they wasted Ken Jeong. He's got some serious talent and real star power and they hand him... THIS. I'm going to cry myself to sleep now. Excuse me.
Just going to say, it seems almost as if the people who made this movie put the entire budget on Mr. Greene. Not in character design for sure, but in the way he moves. He moves so quickly, fluidly, and in such weird ways that it must have been the epitome of purgatory to animate. This coming from the prior knowledge that even a simple amateur animation can take a day or more to create. What's more, it seems like they put more effort into the character models for the humans than the animals, seeing as the humans actually have physics attached to things like their hair and clothes whereas it looks like the only animal that had noticeable physics was the king. While the human models aren't perfect they still manage to at least be nicer to look at than our antagonistic-protagonist It makes it seem almost as if Norm wasn't originally intended to be the main character in this movie.
I think they were probably so burned out from making the human rigs work that they just decided not to care when they got to the animals. Maybe they figured nobody would notice the difference in physics and the like. I will admit, though, I am very curious about how they made Mr. Greene's rig. I think the strange way he's animated is actually pretty interesting, even though it clashes with the rest of the movie's style.
Oh, if only there was some way I could make a *good* environmental film about stopping global warming without being too cliche. Maybe that's why there aren't too many good environmental films. They can exist, but it's hard to get done because such a concept made to drop a PSA in a film on the audience (see Free Birds for another example) doesn't have much creative merit in itself.

You know what's the best enviromental message I've seen in a movie? The smoke above the human city in Priest. Basically, a half-vampire has the idea to get a nest of vampires, load them in a stolen armored train and drive into the human capital. They couldn't have travelled there in secret on foot because the sun would've forced them to put up a camp every day, but in the city, the pollution clouds shield them from sunlight so it'd be a massacre. I repeat, the best enviromental message.
I remember the trailer for this thing... It looked so much better than the actual movie! They made a better job editing and selling this crap at the audience than this abomination ever could.
But in a BAD way. The (only) 2003 DreamWorks Animation movie is Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, and it has different CGI which actually looks non-dated compared to the CGI of Norm of the North.
There's something in me that finds this movie worse than the Emoji Movie. For one, the Emoji Movie's rendering was not painful to look at, the colors were pretty vibrant, and the animation is okay, despite the bland designs. This movie looks like one of those Alpha and Omega sequels, looking like someone trying way too hard to pull off something they're not very experienced at, like textures. In fact, it is made by the same production. The Emoji Movie had at least some grade A actors with Patrick Stewart and TJ Miller. This has freaking Rob Schneider and... Ken Jeong? What the fuck?? Sure the writing of The Emoji Movie was complete trash with product placements everywhere, but I feel like the characters in Norm of the North are more frustratingly pointless. I have no idea why, but I would rather watch The Emoji Movie over Norm of the North. One thing's for sure, I want nothing to do with either of these movies ever again.
William Cool The only character to go out of his way to make active decisions is Mr Greene. Norm needs to be told what to do by the bird and Olympia, and the only choice he really makes is to jump in the show home. Everything else is reactive. All Vera does is provide the catalyst for Norm to get to New York. No other characters directly influence the plot.
This is FF13 levels of stupid. Villain could get anyone to do it, and even threatened to do so (in FF13's case it was to kill himself). All the Heroes had to do was do NOTHING, there was literally nothing they could do without doing what the villain wanted (heroes' plan was don't do what villain wants, which was to die which meant dooming the moon they LIVE on to crash into the planet, kill the villain and hope for the best). The worse part was it happened in FF13-2 too. Even when Norm goes to the city it's even more retarded that he made ZERO attempt to practically and/or literally shit on the villain's plan.
The volume of the movie compared to your audio is rather unbalanced. The movie is a bit too quiet which makes it a pain when I turn up the volume and you go full blast in my ear.
Believe it or not, there are a COUPLE of things I can overlook in this movie. As far as Norm not being able to hunt: It's a cartoon movie with anthropomorphic animals, so I'll just assume his family has provided him with food his whole life out of sympathy, and this was him trying to prove he can do it himself. And to be honest - the BASIS of Norm and the seagull's plan isn't terrible; it is POSSIBLE Mr Greene could find an actor (especially in a place like NYC) that would put on a performance that would succeed in selling his Arctic houses, however slim that may be, so Norm going to NY to try and sabotage the plan could make sense. This is why I'd say the actual "real villain" isn't the seagull but Norm's brother, since he's the one who told Norm a good performance would make people want to preserve the Arctic, thus why Norm does the stupid thing and NOT try to make a bad performance. That and, well, everything else is where the movie abysmally fails.
And, in Norm's defense, tourists and advertisement crews were coming out to the arctic anyway; so as far as he knew, people building homes there was a distinct possibility. He didn't know until after he got to NY that the project depended so heavily on his cooperation. After he finds out, though... I got nothing. He's an idiot.
(Not to defend this movie, but I think that the actor was in the house with his mask off to trick the CEO and Vera into thinking that Norm was a human)
