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 firstSystem Requirements:Run Time: 85 Mins.Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM Rating: PG UPC: 043396189522 Manufacturer No: 18952 Amazon.com: Surf's Up is a computer-animated sports mockumentary about penguin surfing contests, which makes it stand out from the crowd of penguin movies. The story unfolds as it would on ESPN, with interviews (with penguins) overlapping footage of (penguin) surfing action, gradually unveiling the tale of Cody Maverick (voiced by Shia LaBeouf, Holes), a young penguin from Antarctica with dreams of winning a surfing competition--a competition named after his idol, the missing Big Z (Jeff Bridges, The Big Lebowski). But when he joins the competition, Cody finds his zeal for winning may not be enough to defeat the cruel reigning champ, Tank Evans (Diedrich Bader, Grim & Evil). The story of Surf's Up is typical stuff: Youngster learns to value friendship over material success. But the documentary style gives the movie a different rhythm from the usual feature-length cartoon; it stutters and skips around, dithers on side topics, and backtracks to catch up with supporting characters. Some viewers may be annoyed, but others--perhaps the more media-savvy--will find it a refreshing change of pace. (Kids who don't watch much sports, however, may just find it confusing.) Surf's Up also features the voices of James Woods (Hercules), Zooey Deschanel (Elf), and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite). --Bret Fetzer More Surf's Up on Amazon.com

 Rating:  - Barry White LIVES!This is just too funny for all us oldies who remember the 60's surfers, 70's Motown and adorable penguins that, somehow make us smile as easily as giggling babies do. What WOULD the world be without Hank Azaria? I apologize for not having done this earlier. Thought I had. Thanks for the wonderfully fast delivery and excellent condition of this dvd. COWABUNGA! Rating:  - Like Lots and Lots of PenguinsThis was a funny movie but I liked Lots and Lots of Penguins better. It's got funny seqences of real penguins, some animation and facts and trivia about all 17 species of Penguins! It's a blast and my kids love it! Rating: - Great Movie!You hear it over and over: too many penguin movies. But this one is great, for both kids and adults. See it! Rating: - For All Big Lebowski FansNever heard of this film and never wanted to watch it until somebody very cool whom I trusted said I had to. Imagine my surprise when I hear Jeff Bridge's foghorn voice moaning over the soundtrack. What a bit of inspired casting - he reprises The Dude role in The Big Lebowski. The improv style of the lines, the camerawork, and The Dude set this apart from all other animated films of recent vintage. The scene with The Dude - I mean, Big Z the Surfer Penguin - teaching Shia LeBoeuf's little angry ...

The water was mesmerizing, the image so beautiful, I could hardly wait to watch it with the kids. When we saw Happy Feet, I was excited to finally see that beautiful penguin movie. Or so I thought. What I saw instead was a bunch of penguins singing Prince songs, among other things. Warner brothers was showing off its music catalog with Happy Feet, but I don't know what they were doing as ...
