It can't be that bad.
Not surprised, It should have been a straight to walmart bargain bin release.
>>79024759

>>79023787
So bad even Ebert came back from the dead to shit on it.
>>79024225
>>79024169
Ebert's site is still up and does reviews, though they're no longer written by him for reasons that should be evident.
>>79023787
>3.9/10
Wow, I thought it's impossible to get anything lower than 5 nowadays. Did they refuse to pay for reviews?
>>79025901
Even if they wanted to, they couldn't afford it. Pretty sure it only got released in theaters because they got a little extra cash in their budget.
Even the audience percentage or RT has dropped ten percent in the last five hours. Literally almost everyone on the planet hates this movie.
>>79023787
>Ebert
Hold on a sec.
Because reviews are always right. You should try forming your own opinions sometime, I could see Norm of the North ending up as a cult classic in a few years.
It really did a lot given its budget and time constraints.
>>79027352
Lions Gate shill pls go
>>79027394
Lionsgate are mostly to blame for whatever flaws the film might have, from unrealistic expectations set on the filmmaking team to constant alterations to the script well into production. I do not represent them in an official capacity.
tfw better ratings than norm of the north.

Just got back from seeing it. I don't understand why it's being shit on so hard. Pretty good visual gags, a few jokes put in there for adults (not raunchy or anything, just something that would go over little kids' heads), lighthearted fun.
Really no worse than Kung Fu Panda, Hotel Transylvania, Over the Hedge, or any other non-Pixar flick.

That review is trash, basically "it's a cartoon with a good message so it's good for kids but le adults with have to bear it XD"
Also the score is 2.5 out of 4 stars so it should be a rotten score since Ebert's 2.5 star reviews count as rotten.

My aunt used to buy cheap movies for my young cousin, I once watched Karate Dog with my cousin in one of the visits (I was like 13 or 14) because they thought we would have a good time watching it, they actually enjoyed that movie, I don't, but I pretended I liked it...
Most kids will enjoy shit as long as it's colorful and animated, I used to like everything that wasn't romance and tween garbage, and most parents don't know better or don't care, all cartoons are the same for them.

Not really. It just doesn't make sense the amount of hate this movie gets, in a sea of other mediocre 3d animated movies. Honestly no worse than any other of those I listed.
>>79029806
Also Pat Morita is the Dog (voiced by Chevy Chase)'s Chinese (seriously?) Karate master and is killed by Jon Voight in the first 10 minutes.
I guess they all had bills to pay
>>79029923
This movie is getting the same amount of hate as all those other shitty animated films. The only reason why it's so upfront right now is because the movie just came out.
Give it a month, and it'll be where it deserves to be: forgotten and at the bottom of a Wal-Mart bargain bin.

>>79028752
I remember being a kid and shit like this would be more than just passable. CGI movies were new and got a free ride by novelty alone. Was the studio responsible for this stuck a decade and a half in the past and expected to make their money back just because their bear was 3D? Did they think they could succeed as a family movie because kids supposedly don't know quality, and forget entirely that they had years of Pixar and Dream Works to compete with? Did they just not do their homework and think a CGI movie was crapped out every year because it worked???
>>79030832
I think they forgot that the dance party goes at the very end of the movie.
>>79030881
Normally it's at the ending as a light hearted celebration after the peak of the movie has subsided. They had to use it early because dance party is one of their top ideas in this movie.

Never was supposed to directly compete with Pixar or Dreamworks. Those cost several hundred million from established major studios, and this one costed about ten million from some no name. The profit ratio could potentially be enormous.
And you seriously underestimate how dumb and easily entertained kids are.

I guess so. I still have nostalgia goggles glued tight for the Tom and Jerry movie where they become friends and sing about it then hang out with Indiana Jones' daughter.
So is "kids are dumb, here's our generic talking CGI animal, where's our money?" what they were going for? It just doesn't seem like an effective business model anyway, even if they're just hoping for the home release sales.

>>79029171

>>79031235
Some guy actually thought the story was worth making, had this small studio do shit, got Lionsgate in on it (which fucked around with it), had Indians/Chinese animate it, then shove put it in theatres and hope that even a meager showing would produce more than the low bar of 10 million.
Only reason I know this much about it (other than seeing it tonight) was that I'm friends with a guy who is trying to kind of do the same thing, hopefully with a better story and execution. Wanted to see the quality (I thought it was lighthearted generic fun, nothing really to shit on), and then see if it could turn a profit.
As you can tell, I've seen a lot of these mediocre 3d animated movies. Return to Oz comes to mind. Not a bad movie, but was a market flop.
>>79031413
Now, did he really think that the story was worth making, or did he (and literally everyone else involved) just put this together because it would be an easy buck?
Cause shitty CGI Kid-flicks are a dime a dozen.

Injured pride hurts less than an empty stomach.
>>79029343

>>79031483
I just asked (my friend has been in contact with Splash studio), he genuinely thought it was a good idea and really just wanted to make 3d movies. Apparently Norm's creator used to produce a lot of animated shorts and wanted to go with a full movie. That explains why there were so many visual gags --some were actually pretty clever/funny.
>>79031189

what is this hunka hunka burning bullshit
This has gotten to the point where we might need to seriously consider the question. Could this be "it"?
/a/ has Mars of Destruction. /tv/ has The Room.
Does /co/ now have Norm of the North, or does Foodfight still outclass it?
>>79046367
Yes. It was mediocre yet enjoyable enough. Coming from the perspective of a parent, probably better for a kid (theater was full and the kids seemed to like it). As someone who likes animated movies/shows it wasn't that great, but I'm in my fucking mid-20s, this movie was not made for me. It's almost as if the big players are running a smear campaign, because there was literally nothing inherently bad about it (although I wish it was a good 20 minutes shorter).
Oh, by the way, that .webm does not appear in this movie, and there was no sing-along. (The dance does appear, but I think that must've been from an early trailer?)

Norm of the North didn't have a $65m budget behind it.
