Surf's Up
Director: Ash Brannon, Chris Buck
Year: 2007
Stars: Shia LeBeouf, Jeff Bridges, Zooey Deschanel, Jon Heder, James Woods
This wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Admittedly, I didn't know much about the film before watching it, other than that it was an animation about some surfer penguins. I was expecting a standard animated comedy though.
Well, Surf's Up isn't quite that. It is a comedy, it is animated and it does have surfer penguins, but it's filmed in the style of a documentary. It tells the story of Cody Maverick (LeBeouf) - a young penguin who just wins to win a surfing championship competition.
It might not have been exactly what I was expecting, but I did enjoy it. Partially for the fact that it was different to most animated comedies, and partially because it was just nuts. But good nuts.
Rating: 3 out of 5
