Norm of the North: Keys to the Kingdom

2016's Norm of the North is a film that never EVER needed a sequel, it was a pile of garbage that every film critic on the internet knew and hated, so why, WHY? Make a sequel?!

Awful, 100% awful. I can't stress enough how much I hated this movie. Hell, I'm writing this as it plays in my living room. My wife and I are miserable watching it and my kids are bored of it. Rented it from redbox and need to return it ASAP. Owning this movie would be the biggest mistake in my life......

The first movie was horrible. Not even scoring a 4 out of 10. This "sequel" is by far even worse. At least the first one had some B-list (these days) actors in it. This sequel has no one in it. How is it even possible anyone got the green light to make this, let alone funding. Literally one of the worst movies ever made is "The Telephone" staring Whoopi Goldberg for 90 minutes talking in the telephone on her apartment. Seriously check it out. I would rather watch that on an endless look then watch five minutes of the movie. If you have kids spare them.

After witnessing what was (at the time) the worst reviewed wide release animated movie, Norm of the North, I figured that the studio wouldn't be crazy enough to make a sequel. Then I noticed the influx of Alpha and Omega DTV sequels, and I was wrong. Sorely, sadly wrong.

Norm of the North: Keys to the Kingdom is actually the TWO sequels Splash Entertainment put into production, hence the 91-minute runtime. The film itself doesn't even warn you that you're getting another story; it wraps up Keys to the Kingdom in about 45 minutes, and then shifts into The Arctic All-Stars with no hesitation.

Next to none of the original voice cast return for these cheap knock-offs, minus the young actress who portrays Olympia. Best guess is that she didn't have anything else to do. Andrew Toth is no Rob Schneider, and there is so much cringe just not hearing that voice in Norm's performance. The humor remains the same; toilet jokes, farts, just general juvenile stupidity. But, hey, it's a kids' movie. Who am I to judge? I'm a guy in his mid-20s who loves cartoons, even the bad ones.

However, this isn't just bad. It's more painful to sit through than the first one, if that were even possible. Save your money. Save your time. Don't do it. 0.5/5.

Made am impression on me rhat it was concatenation of two not very decent tv to have something of cinema movie. Anyway, disapointing . My daughter (age 4) said she didn't like (when it was till running) and wanted to leave cinema which is uncommon for her.
