Editorial Reviews: Surf’s Up is an animated feature that goes behind the scenes of the high-octane world of competitive penguin surfing. The film profiles Cody Maverick, an up-and-coming surfer as he enters his first pro competition. Inspired by his hero, a legendary wave rider named Big Z, Cody leaves his family and his town of Shiverpool, Antarctica to travel to Pen Gu Island for the Big Z Memorial Surf Off. Cody believes that winning will bring him the admiration and respect he desires. But when he unexpectedly comes face to face with a washed up old surfer named The Geek, Cody begins to understand that the greatest champion isn’t always the one who comes in first
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Determination! Comment: Approximately 1 hr 20 minutes, this DVD is a nice story, has great color, super clear pix, great animation, and nice music. This is a story about determination, motivation, the importance of friendship, standing up against the odds and going all-out after your dream. It's a great story for kids. I occasionally like to nourish my own inner child and also to see what movies are teaching our children (even though my child is 35.) This is a penguin story and is a take-off of the "Happy Feet" character types. When Cody Maverick was just a little pengie, he met "Big Z," the all-time best of the penguin surfers, the really big Kahouna. Big Z took the time to speak to little Cody and to give him a Big Z surfer pendant and told Cody about the importance of not giving up and going after your dreams. Little Cody was very impressionable and Big Z's words and gesture so motivated Cody that they stuck with him all his life. Cody grows up determined to be just like Big Z, even after Big Z disappears in a big wave. Now, Cody is a 17-year old teenage penguin super-surfer dude. He lives with mom and older brother. Dad was eaten by a whale some years ago, as is fairly common with penguin dads. The older brother is very negative but Cody does not let the sarcasm deter him. Through sheer determination, Cody sets out to win the big surfer contest at the Big Z Memorial Surfing Event. This story also helps illustrate how important a gesture it is when a celebrity does something positive for someone. Because a celeb is already so much in the public's eye, a kind act can go very far in encouraging others. Celebs are role models for many kids. I'm glad to see it when they are positive role models. And by the way, it's really cool how they make these animated pengies appear so "human". Nice movie and suitable for all ages. Customer Rating: Summary: Satisfied Comment: This is my favorite movie. I never get tired of watching it. The movie arrived on time and works great. I would make another purchase from this seller. Customer Rating: Summary: Hilarious Comment: Absolutely hilarious! I'm not normally a big Shia LaBeouf fan but his voice and personality are perfect for the role. The documentary style of the film was genius. Even the soundtrack was good, especially "Stand Tall" by Dirty Heads. Customer Rating: Summary: Surfs Up is fun & entertaining show which looks awesome on Blu-Ray! Comment: This show looks awesome on Blu-Ray! I liked it much more than I thought I would. I would recommend the show to anyone. Customer Rating: Summary: Hilarious! Comment: I love this movie. It reeks of humor and wittiness. I did not know Shia was in it until I saw it. He did an excellent job. I was laughing non stop the whole time! More Reviews
