	Author	Review
United States	Geoff Berkshire Variety	"Despite a cuddly polar-bear protagonist and trio of scene-stealing lemming sidekicks (...) 'Norm of the North' reps an underwhelming first foray into feature-length animation for Splash Entertainment"	NEG
United States	Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times	"'Norm of the North' feels as if it intended to be a better movie, but got confused along the way"	NEG
United Kingdom	Glenn Kenny Empire	"An almost entirely misbegotten computer-animated film"	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Harmless fun for the small fry (...) Norm of the North is mildly diverting, although Pixar needn't be overly concerned"	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"Its plotline (...) is inane even by the standards of animated funny animal comedy. Its gag set pieces run the gamut from uninspired to incoherent."	NEG
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"Unfunny and strained, it seems unlikely to become the next massive arctic-inspired franchise after 'Ice Age'"	NEG
