Line #9 Trivia/NormOfTheNorth


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.
