Il viaggio di Norm - Vacanze in famiglia

I watched it before, and didn't really found it interesting.

Norm is back again, and this time, he is trying to prepare for the Northern Jubilee, an important event as king, which causes him to not spend time with his family. However, the crown is stolen while he sleeps, and a killer whale named Tiny tells him an ice ship is taking it to Harbin, China. However, his three kids, Maria, Quinn, and Chase, eavesdrop on him, they join him alongside their mother and Norm's wife, Elizabeth, who think this is a surprise family vacation.

Yeah, this is not a good movie for kids. Despite the Dove Foundation's Family Approved Seal, it has some crude humor that some parents may not find appropriate for their kids. Also, the film brings in more pointless characters, like Tiny the killer whale, whose voice is irritating, and Master Fu, who is the father of two boys, Pete and Repete (Yeah, those are original names for twin characters). The story sounds poorly written, and the movie has a lot of pointless scenes that take up too much of the running time of the film, with the plot only being dealt with in the last few minutes. I do not recommend this for kids.

Norm of the North: Family vacations may entice you with images of adorable animals having fun, but be prepared for a mediocre trip to the north. Even though the animation is marginally better than in previous iterations, this unmemorable movie cannot be saved.

The plot is as thin as polar bear fur in summer. Norm, the self-proclaimed "King of the North," struggles to juggle his royal duties with quality family time. This flimsy setup leads to an uninspired "vacation" that's actually a quest to recover his stolen crown.

Here's where things get icy. The humor falls flat more often than it lands, relying on tired puns and childish gags. The new characters, including a family of white tigers, blend into the background, failing to add any spark. Even the environmental message, a staple of the series, feels phoned in.

Norm of the North: Family Vacation isn't very objectionable, but it doesn't have enough charm or humor to hold the interest of adults above the age of eight. This icy journey is best left on the iceberg if you're searching for an animated film that is actually really entertaining.

Forget that polar bear. Fantasia 2000, Dinosaur, The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis The Lost Empire, Monsters Incorporated, Lilo And Stitch, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, Finding Nemo, Home On The Range, The Incredibles, Chicken Little, Cars, Meet The Robinsons, Ratatouille, Bolt and Wall.e are so many times better.

I enjoyed the original Norm of the North, but this film is an absolute monstrosity.

The film does very little to improve on the last three films.

Voice performances can range from sub-par at best and even dreadful at worst.

This film had so many plot-holes such as characters knowing that Norm had a crown and while it was seen in the previous movies, it never has any significant importance and the Ice Boat from Harbin China to the Arctic Ice Circle, and so on.

There is some crude humor that some adults may not find appropriate for children, such as Norm kissing a child on his and Elizabeth's bed, which gives off pedophilia implications in a family film. (Keep in mind that Norm is a polar bear, so this also counts as zoophilia as well.)

There are also loads of other Plot-Holes that are never explained.

Unlike the previous films in the Norm of the North franchise, Norm of the North: Family Vacation is entirety a bottled film, as most of it takes place in both the Arctic and the Harbin, thus making this film visually boring.

Misleading title: Despite being named as Family Vacation, the family does not take a family vacation in the actual movie. What a waste of potential.

There is a scene in this film on the underwater that looks like it's copied from the hit Pixar film Finding Nemo.

Like the previous films, the characters are still unlikable, especially Norm himself.

Tiny is an extremely annoying character.

The "main villains" of the film, who are revealed to be the Fu's twin kids, are lame, and as stated in #6 of the plot-hole segment, their motives don't make sense.

Surprisingly enough, characters such as Olympia (tolerable character in the previous films) and Vera Bright, who have been there since the first film, do not return, nor are they even mentioned.

At least the lemmings appeared much less than the previous Norm of the North films. There can be some admittedly funny moments here and there.

Overall, Norm of the North: Family Vacation is an absolute disgrace to animation. Please stick to way better animated films, such as those from the likes of Pixar, DreamWorks, Blue Sky, and Illumination.
