1 | * ActingForTwo: Creator/GabrielIglesias as Stan and Pablo. |
2 | * AllStarCast: The movie has a good mix of celebrities like Creator/RobSchneider, Creator/HeatherGraham, Creator/BillNighy, and Loretta Devine, and plenty of acclaimed voice actors like Mikey Kelly, Creator/CandiMilo, Creator/KateHiggins, Creator/CharlieAdler (who's also one of the movie's voice directors with Creator/LisaOrtiz), and more. |
3 | * BillingDisplacement: In the UK posters, Creator/JamesCorden and Creator/BillNighy are both given top billing with the [[Creator/RobSchneider lead]] [[Creator/HeatherGraham actors]], while Creator/ColmMeaney and Creator/KenJeong are not listed at all, despite being more prominent characters. Corden being billed third is particularly egregious as his character is only in two scenes and [[SameLanguageDub doesn't even have the same voice in the film's other English dubs]]. |
4 | * BoxOfficeBomb: Grossed only $9 million on its opening weekend against a $18 million budget. Its final gross was $17 million domestic and $27.4 million worldwide. Despite that, the film made enough money on video to make at least three sequels. |
5 | * CreatorKiller: This is the first film Trevor Wall directed, and its absolutely icy reception has a strong chance of making it his only directing job outside of television. |
6 | * TheDanza: Creator/JanetVarney voices Janet. |
7 | * DuelingMovies: With Creator/DreamWorksAnimation's ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3'' (which has ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' alumni Creator/JKSimmons in it; ''Norm of the North'' actually has the voice of Korra herself, Janet Varney, in a cameo role). |
8 | * MissingTrailerScene: The line "I'm big boned!", despite [[TrailerJokeDecay being used in every main trailer]], is never actually said in the film. |
9 | * TheOtherDarrin: The first sequel's credits confirms that the returning characters from the first film will be voiced by none other than actors from Creator/TheOceanGroup. Maya Kay (Olympia) is the only returning cast member. |
10 | * RoleReprise: Maya Kay reprises her role as Olympia in the sequels. She's notably the only cast member to return in any capacity, as everyone else got replaced with actors from Creator/TheOceanGroup. |
11 | * SameLanguageDub: Creator/MichaelMcElhatton voices Lawrence in most English dubs of the film, but was dubbed over by the more well-known Creator/JamesCorden for the film's UK release. |
12 | * SoMyKidsCanWatch: Creator/KenJeong voiced in this film so that his twin daughters could watch an age-appropriate film starring him. |
13 | --> '''Ken Jeong''' (in [[https://web.archive.org/web/20180619190036/http://www.lionsgatepublicity.com/uploads/assets/NORM%20OF%20THE%20NORTH%20Production%20Notes.pdf publicity release]]): I have twin daughters and most of the movies I do I can't show my kids yet. With ''Norm of the North'', they'll finally be able to watch one of Daddy’s movies. That was kind of a big incentive for me to be part of this project. |
14 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
15 | ** This was originally intended to be a DirectToDVD feature. |
16 | ** Back when it was first announced, it was going to be made by Creator/CrestAnimationProductions, the same studio as ''WesternAnimation/AlphaAndOmega''. |
17 | ** The first sequel was originally announced as two separate 45-minute films, titled ''Keys To The Kingdom'' and ''The Arctic All-Stars'', respectively. The two were ultimately spliced into one film, simply titled ''Keys To The Kingdom'', in order to make it feature length and secure a theatrical release in some territories. |
