![]() The characters in this movie truly bring a sense of humanness that is hard to find in just any animated movie. Thus bringing us to the pinnacle of the whole “Surf’s Up” movie: the characters. Furthermore, the interviews let the audience take a look into the minds of each character, which builds a deeper connection with each penguin (or chicken) and makes the audience have an emotional investment into the plot. ![]() The voice acting by Jeff Bridges, Shia LaBeouf and Jon Heder make each interview have personality and add a layer of realism that is unseen in any other animated movies. There are interviews with the contestants that take place during the movie, which have a very “ The Office ” vibe to them, which are absolutely laugh out loud. So even the idea for “Surf’s Up” is meta and hilarious. The animated movie is filmed as a “mockumentary”, satirizing the idea of a real documentary on penguin surfing. From the moment he arrives on the island, Cody is destined for greatness. Cody gets his big break as he takes a trip on the back of a whale to a tropical island for the biggest surfing event of the year, the Big Z Memorial Surf Off. His only problem: he lives in Antarctica. The story begins with our protagonist Cody Maverick, a southern rockhopper penguin, whose only aspiration in life is to make it big in surfing. What love you might ask? Love of the game love of the craft love of surfing. It’s a movie with the perfect mix of comedy and love. When it comes to comedies, many movies come to mind: SuperBad, Napoleon Dynamite, Monty Python and the Holy Grail or Ferris Bueller’s Day off, but one movie that doesn’t get nearly the credit is deserved and that is “Surf’s Up”.
