The animated 1 mock documentary "Surf's Up" is a delightfully 2 rendered summer diversion in which a tiny Rockhopper penguin 3 named Cody Maverick 4 aspires 5 to be a surfing champion.
Young Cody (voiced by Shia LaBeouf) is discovered in his native Shiverpool by a shrill 6, showbiz savvy 7 shorebird named Mikey Abromowitz, who whisks him off to the idyllic 8 island of Pen Gu to compete in the Big Z Memorial Surf-Off. Once there, Cody is mentored 9 reluctantly by a surfing legend, the bigger-than-life but extremely laid-back King Geek (Jeff Bridges).
Directed by Ash Brannon and Chris Buck 10, "Surf's Up" parodies 11 sports documentaries and television surf coverage 12, instilling 13 the movie with an X Games vibe. The surfing action replicates 14 and at times surpasses the real thing, and the fabricated "vintage footage" is a wonder to look at. Interviews with Cody and his family conducted by a comically intrusive 15 documentary crew lead up to the flightless little bird's inevitable 16 showdown with Emperor penguin Tank "the Shredder" Evans, nine-time winner of the Surf-Off.
Visually, the movie benefits from impressively inventive technical animation－from the crystalline waves to the sandy beaches, every detail suggests a parallel reality where penguins 17 really do surf.
While many of the riffs in the mock documentary might be lost on the little tykes, everyone should enjoy the film's feel-good message of perseverance 18, friendship and finding your own wave.
