Colourful animated film.
The kids were bored and so was I.
The film did not engage the younger children in the audience.
Surf's Up is made as a kind of documentary of a young penguin's desire to learn to surf like his hero Big Z. Cody joins other surfing penguins from across the globe to compete in the Big Z memorial championship. He makes a good friend in Chicken Joe (yes a surfing chicken) and they come up against the arrogant Tank who beat Big Z years ago. There are a few amusing parts but it is mostly a surfing movie. The animation is good and the beaches do look idyllic. Unfortunately there were some very young children in the audience who found it more fun to run around and scream when told to sit down. Obviously the film held little attraction for them. My children are a bit older at 6 and 8 but they only really enjoyed the surfing moments. The documentary style was a bit irritating at times.
