What
sets
this
tremendous
digitally
animated
feature
apart
from
the
rest
is
the
fact
that
it
was
made
along
the
lines
of
a
surfing
documentary.
Cody,
a
young
wannabe
surfer
penguin
is
out
to
follow
in
the
webbed-feet
of
Big-Z,
a
legendary
surfer
that
got
consumed
by
the
waves
on
a
very
dangerous
part
of
the
coast.
This
journey
takes
Cody
from
Antarctica
to
a
tropical
island
to
take
part
in
the
Big-Z
Memorial
Surf-On.
It
leads
to
far
more
than
just
riding
some
waves
as
Cody
learns
many
life
lessons.
Some
of
the
crazy
characters
emerging
from
this
event
include
a
ruthless
agent,
a
spaced-out
chicken,
cute
kid
penguins
and
an
appealing,
energetic
life-guard
(also
the
love
interest).
Special
Features:
Lost
scenes,
making-of
featurettes,
interviews
with
the
penguin
characters,
a
Lauren
Hill
music
video
&
more.
PS.
As
with
rival
studios
always
releasing
suspiciously
similar
animated
movies
around
the
same
time
(eg.
Antz
vs.
A
Bug's
Life,
Finding
Nemo
vs.
A
Shark
Tale,
Madagascar
vs.The
Wild
etc.),
the
penguin
related
counterpoint
for
Surf's
Up
is
of
course
Happy
Feet.
