I betcha if Roger Ebert were still around he'd have this to say about the movie: "I hated this movie. Hated, hated, hated, hated, hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it." (North Review 1994)
@@DarthJoshReturns Oh boy, you're right about that! I've heard Schneider's whining before but I didn't know it was THAT bad! And as much as I dislike Adam Sandlers movies as of late at least the dude can friggin act!
Speaking of Deuce Bigalow, I'd like to see Smeghead tackle another movie from Roger Ebert's Most Hated list. I think he has only done Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, Battlefield Earth, and Catwoman to date...maybe we can see Smeghead try his hand at Armageddon or North?
Rob Schneider was The Animal, then he was The Hot Chick, then he was Da Derp-de-Derp-da-Teetley-Derpee-Derpee-DUMB! NOW... Rob Schneider is about to become.... A POLAR BEAR!!! In a winter wonderland of a comedy! Rob Schneider is... NORM OF THE NORTH!!! Rated PG-13!
Actually, Sean, this movie *was* meant to be a direct-to-DVD possibly sold only in Walmart stores and not a theatrical release. However, some "genius" from the studios, and possibly Rob Schneider himself, (I wouldn't put anything past him), got the "brilliant" idea that Norm of the North should be show. In movie theaters across the nation. And we all know how well that went.
I think the "leave poetry to the panda bears" is meant to be a gag about Chinese poets and philosophers like Confucius. In which case, it would be slightly clever if the target audience knew what they were referring to. The eight year olds watching this film (all three of them) probably never heard the name Confucius.
Let the record show that I indeed saw Kubo and the two strings and it was easily one of the most beautiful animated/stop motion movies I've ever viewed
I actually went to watch it due to the recommendation of some critics I like and found it painfully mediocre. The only outstanding thing about it for me was the animation.
I'm not gonna lie, the commercial director's line about "writing the plot in post" made me laugh. As someone who knows a lot about filmmaking, I thought that was funny.
You know, Sean, you aren't the only one who was majorly disappointed that Koba and the Two Strings didn't get the recognition nor the money that it deserved. It was so beautifully crafted and most of it was done with practical effects. If you haven't seen it yet... GO SEE IT! (On a side note: Personally, I think it's better than Zootopia and The Lego Movie)
I hate this movie with a PASSION. I did a full review of it back in June, and it still ticks me off when I even think of Norm Of The North. It honestly is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
By a strange coincidence, this review was published around the time that my university hosted "Polar Week", which was mainly devoted to studies about the Arctic. Not that the writers of the film would have gone there and got new possibly new ideas for the plot. Very good review.
Nathaniel Levesque Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill don't deserve their nominations. Oh sure, BvS most surely does, but it's not their fault it blew chunks.
Of the movies I've seen Schneider in,two of which....*Demolition Man* and the 1996 live-action *Pinocchio*...he didn't appear long enough to do any real damage...such was NOT the case with *Judge Dredd*,which was already lacking.
Aaron Foust I was looking at the screen with my mouth wide open when I saw Kubo crying in the rain. SPOILERS I mean, good God, Lion King wasn't this cruel! They literally killed both parents off at the same time right in front of Kubo!
11:01 I would say they’re the real-life Arctic Council, comprising representatives from the American, Canadian, Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Russian, and Swedish governments, but I doubt the people who made this movie know it even exists. Also, that leaves open the question of whether it has jurisdiction over Antarctica as well.
I think that commercial director just worked with Steven Seagal a few times. And just let Kubo go, Smeghead. It's not worth it. Though I appreciate you not calling us "fucking morons" for not seeing it, unlike RebelTaxi.
About the razzies, despite having six nominations per category instead of five, there were just as many movies nominated this year as there were last year. Also, I'm guessing the next episode will be Suicide Squad? or Max Steel?
Rob Schneider should have gotten worst actor. Say what you will about BvS, but Ben Affleck wasn't even an honorable mention for my list of complaints with it.
"Arctic" includes certain parts of Canada and Russia, possibly Denmark and Norway, where people DO live. It is not a lawless or unclaimed area where a bad developer can just come and start building. Not even in "international waters". Since everybody speaks English, I am going to assume this is taking place in CANADA. Time for legal action, eh?
Speaking of the sequels made by Crest Animation Productions, please review the Alpha & Omega sequels (the same harsh [and I mean so fucking harsh which these effortless sequels deserve] way Bobsheaux did), the The Swan Princess sequels and the Norm of the North sequels, Cinematic Excrement.
Easily the worst movie of 2016. I hate it even more than Gods of Egypt, Independence Day: Resurgence, Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Ice Age: Collision Course, The 5th Wave, and Ghostbusters (yes, I hated that movie. And no I'm not sexist, I just find it to be a bad film) And this manages to be _worse_ than ALL of these movies. I'm surprised this didn't have a 0% (like it SHOULD have been when it first came out)
Here's a funny story: My little sister was curious about this movie. I told her that the movie got scathing reviews and that the plot sounded stupid. She did not listen to me. Then about a minute in, she turned it off because she thought the animation was that awful.
*points to his review of Fant4stic, 26 minutes* But really, I think it's partially because he didn't have that much to say about the movies, and partially editing it down to be on TH-cam.
Justin An If a movie provides him with enough content for a 20+ minute review, he will make a 20+ minute review. this movie did not give him enough content to justify the review being that long..
I don't mean the video, I mean, he can't show too much of the movie (as in clips longer than 10 seconds at a time) if he doesn't want the review to be taken down.
I thought Doug's #WTFU Improved that. He could also play audio clips. Or mention what happened to Mr. Green, Or show clips from the Trailer like AniShit does.
I think the movie was supposed to be direct to DVD, but they changed their minds and put it in theaters. Same thing happened to that bad animated Wizard of Oz sequel.
I'm hoping he reviews Green Lantern, Batman V Superman and or Suicide Squad when Wonder Woman and Justice League are released this year. Who agrees with me?
Hey Sean the Smeghead other requests for this series.Jaws 3, Jaws the Revenge, Deep Blue Sea, TMNT 2, TMNT 3, Rocky 5, Troll 2, Friday the 13th Jason takes Manhattan, Freddy vs Jason, Supergirl,Richie Rich, the remake Prom Night, the remake a nightmare on elm street, The Room, Die Hard 5, Birdemic 2, Santa with Muscles, Suburban Commando,Home alone 3, and Mr.Nanny
Speaking of direct to DVD, if you look on the films Wikipedia page, there's apparently going to be two direct to DVD sequels being released. God have mercy on us all and how I weep for the future. 😢
**hears the hint for the next episode** Hmm...seeing how Logan recently hit theaters, I'm guessing the next movie is going to be X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
I betcha if Roger Ebert were still around he'd have this to say about the movie:

Balloon Sage Yes it's from North, but at the same time, what he said about that movie perfectly sums Norm of the North in every way.
joyunicycle yes, so true!
joyunicycle YOU'RE TOO FUCKING NICE!
He gave a thumbs up to the movie cop and half which isnt.a great or good movie so maybe he might give it a good review.
Jason Case nah
Dear god, this makes Chicken Little look like Zootopia.
Rob Schneider is one of the few actors who makes Adam Sandler look great by comparison.
Nathaniel Levesque I think Adam Sandler can be funny, but at the same time, I think that he goes out of his way to ruin good comedy
It helps that Sandler isn't a total douchebag like Schneider.
Talisguy when you put it that way that actually makes sense why Adam can be seen more annoying
Nathaniel Levesque agreed
@@DarthJoshReturns Oh boy, you're right about that! I've heard Schneider's whining before but I didn't know it was THAT bad! And as much as I dislike Adam Sandlers movies as of late at least the dude can friggin act!
I'm surprised Schneider never got used to taking criticism well as it has to be all he has ever heard.
Maybe he was never used to criticism from the start and then this 2005 review broke him like the camel's back.
Speaking of Deuce Bigalow, I'd like to see Smeghead tackle another movie from Roger Ebert's Most Hated list. I think he has only done Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, Battlefield Earth, and Catwoman to date...maybe we can see Smeghead try his hand at Armageddon or North?
Balloon Sage has he ever done a "good movie" as anything but a glorified extra?
@@LinkMarioSamus Armageddon isn't bad, though. Its only real crime is the scientific inaccuracies.
Fun Fact: According to IMDB this was supposed to be direct to DVD.
damn
It should have been...
TheAntlionGuard yep
Yeah, and it was made by two animation studios that have recently made Alpha and Omega and it's sequels.
Well now it all makes sense
Rob Schneider was The Animal, then he was The Hot Chick, then he was Da Derp-de-Derp-da-Teetley-Derpee-Derpee-DUMB! NOW... Rob Schneider is about to become.... A POLAR BEAR!!! In a winter wonderland of a comedy! Rob Schneider is... NORM OF THE NORTH!!! Rated PG-13!

I 100% agree with you about Kubo And The Two Strings.
I think the "leave poetry to the panda bears" is meant to be a gag about Chinese poets and philosophers like Confucius. In which case, it would be slightly clever if the target audience knew what they were referring to. The eight year olds watching this film (all three of them) probably never heard the name Confucius.
Or it's supposed to be a pun. Panda Bears = "Penda" Bears. Because you write poetry with a pen.
this makes Alpha and Omega look like Toy Story! (and i like Alpha and Omega)
Rob Schneider is... a polar bear! Der derp der derp der derp ity derp.
Let the record show that I indeed saw Kubo and the two strings and it was easily one of the most beautiful animated/stop motion movies I've ever viewed
I've never clicked on a CE video faster.

Same here.
11:27 Or, you know, Norm could just eat Mr. Green and have done with it.
I mean I know this town supported a lunatic who tried shooting someone in a restaurant, but public mutilation might be going one step too far.
Then it wouldn't be a kids movie.
The movie already isn't suitable for anyone.
Padlock Films I don't see why not. look at Gargoyles, Batman TAS, Digimon etc.
Kubo was a flop? Seriously? That movie was dripping with heart and effort, ffs people get your priorities straight!

Thunder Goku It is. Wouldnt know it with how poorly the movie did
Leileya Night That's saddening
Leileya Night how is The Lego Movie relevant? It came out 3 years ago
Was making a point of movies I thought was overrated.
I love your show I'm always excited when I see a new episode. You deserve so many more subscribers
I love your videos, your personality and review quality are perfect
Your videos are so great!! Definitely deserves more subs.
Seeing this in my sub box is a wonderful thing for me to wake up to in the morning. 😀
2:44 Ebert is fucking savage
May he Rest In Peace.
That guy on imbd was probably Rob Schneider
1:40 in that case Rob would be the perfect writer and fit right in with Teen Titans Go
Not really. He would even get kicked out of VELMA, MR. BIRCHUM and THE NEW NORM.
You have never ceased to amaze me, Smegs. Thanks for the highlight of my evening. :)
I think that IMDB user review at 4:15 was written by Rob Schneider.
I hate this movie with a PASSION. I did a full review of it back in June, and it still ticks me off when I even think of Norm Of The North. It honestly is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
1:21 - 1:27 I think you predicted the concept of “cancel culture”.
This is one polarising film.
I see what you did there.
It's still wrong, but at least I see it.
By a strange coincidence, this review was published around the time that my university hosted "Polar Week", which was mainly devoted to studies about the Arctic. Not that the writers of the film would have gone there and got new possibly new ideas for the plot.
Very good review.
Norm of the North spawned three straight-to-DVD sequels. Having a sequiel be straight-to-DVD is a telltale sign that your movie is a failure.
This should be good.
Rob Schneider should have gotten a razzie nomination for worst actor instead of Ben Affleck.
No, because Ben Affleck is a bigger star than Rob. Don't you know how the Razzies think?
Ben Affleck getting a razzie is Bullshit
Nathaniel Levesque Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill don't deserve their nominations. Oh sure, BvS most surely does, but it's not their fault it blew chunks.
When have the Razzies ever truly nominated bad actors/movies? They name-drop just for attention. Liza Minelli got a nomination for Sex & The City 2.
He already has done. I’m guessing you have had the good sense never to subject yourself to _Gigli_.
4:11 How much you wanna bet this review was written by Schneider himself, under an alias?
$18
Animat got the minions part right along with the Media Hunter. Mr Enter despises the Minions and AniMat, the Media Hunter and I love the Minions
I was just about to go to bed when I saw this video pop up in my subscription feed....sleeping can wait.
lol
you should see mr enter's review on this movie

OMIGOD. An M. Night Shyamalan and Rob Schneider collab. Brilliant. Hollywood, do what you usually do and throw all the money at this at once.
Ok, the director's line at 9:47 is actually kinda funny.
It would be awesome to see Sean talking about videogames
To think this movie got enough money to make a sequel is just wrong
I mean, I don't know what started the King controversy, but knowing him in the past, doesn't mean you won't forget his teachings and give in to anger.
+Cinematic Excrement I saw "Kubo and the Two Strings" and I'm pissed too! Kubo was amazing!!
Same.
Moxie Miss did you cry when Kubo was with the ghosts of his mom and dad? Cause I did.

kanchomerocks12 i know! My god i cried like a baby when i saw that movie!!
Condos in the Arctic?
That is an idea so dumb, that even Donald Trump would call it the worst investment proposal he'd ever seen.
This is bear-ly a movie… your puns should always be intended! Lol
I wanted to see Kubo and the two strings but I didn't have time

Many people have reviewed this but hats off to you for bringing up some points and issues that no one else has really talked about ^_^
I was expecting the review to be Sharknado 4, but this will do.
I do expect that to be covered soon.

I think that commercial director just worked with Steven Seagal a few times.
And just let Kubo go, Smeghead. It's not worth it. Though I appreciate you not calling us "fucking morons" for not seeing it, unlike RebelTaxi.
8:54 …Yeah, it wasn’t my imagination. XD Almost missed it.
Considering you're a grown man who calls himself The Smeghead, I imagine fart jokes really are your faaaaavoriiiiite.
this is my first time watching one of your videos. Good job dude!
FIRST
Rob Schneider Movie on this show
Also, PLEASE REVIEW MAX STEEL
you don't even have to buy it
The whole thing is one youtube in good quality
2:47 I also miss Roger Ebert.
Oh he really loves movies. That's why we miss him.
Selling condos in the arctic? Geez, M Bison's plans in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li is more plausible than this movie.
About the razzies, despite having six nominations per category instead of five, there were just as many movies nominated this year as there were last year.
Also, I'm guessing the next episode will be Suicide Squad? or Max Steel?
Rob Schneider should have gotten worst actor. Say what you will about BvS, but Ben Affleck wasn't even an honorable mention for my list of complaints with it.
How did you forget the lawsuit over fake positive reviews for The Animal. Hard to imagine Schnider wasn't aware.
6:25 I'm sorry, but the way you say Rob Schneider's name is just too damn funny.

Yeeeeeeees Norm Of The Damn North!
Yes! I was hoping you would make a Cinematic Excrement video about that awful Norm of the North movie! A nice Groundhog Day surprise!
The quality is worse than late 90s Nickelodeon video.

I like Bob’s review videos of the Alpha & Omega sequels. He uses a wolf puppet for them.

Old M. Night, Not current M. Night
Justin An at least he has a few good movies unlike Rob Schneider.

Justin An thanks for correcting me.
I love the quality of this video! I can't wait to watch more! :)
Hey - He was in Down Periscope, and Down Periscope was awesome!!!
Easily the worst movie of 2016.

I'm surprised this didn't have a 0% (like it SHOULD have been when it first came out)
It did have a 0% rating, but then some idiots gave it positive reviews. ( I'm convinced it was actually Rob Schneider.)
Rob Schneider is A Polar Bear! Rated PG-13.
Here's a funny story:

You should review Foodfight.

Hopefully it will be in Sean’s 100th episode.
What a wretched character design... It also doesn't know if Norm is quadrupedal or bipedal.
Only five minutes in…
MY FAMILY AND I LOVE KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS!!!!!!!
Why are these new reviews so short? His old reviews used to be 20+ minutes.
*points to his review of Fant4stic, 26 minutes* But really, I think it's partially because he didn't have that much to say about the movies, and partially editing it down to be on TH-cam.
Points to his review of Boondock Saints 2, He can always cut his films into 2 parts.

So is he reviewing Daredevil, Batman v Superman, or Suicide Squad?
This should have been direct to video.
From what I recall, Crest Animation only really does direct-to-video, so yeah, it really should've been.
I think the movie was supposed to be direct to DVD, but they changed their minds and put it in theaters. Same thing happened to that bad animated Wizard of Oz sequel.
I know I'm late to the party, but KUBO is a great film, period.
Tbh if this movie were made today the fake audio would’ve been easily explained with the advent of AI.
The movie would still suck tho lmao.
On your hundredth episode could you do crystal skull?
is the next movie you're reviewing xmen origins: wolverine?
Thanos Andreou I hope so, but there's plenty of bad superhero movies to choose from
Makes sense given that Logan is just around the corner.
I'm hoping he reviews Green Lantern, Batman V Superman and or Suicide Squad when Wonder Woman and Justice League are released this year.
Who agrees with me?
I thought he meant Max Steel
Hey, I saw Kubo in theaters twice. Don't blame me!
KUBO WAS AMAZING
