Surf’s Up is probably one of my favorite animated movies of the late 2000s. Each character had their own presence in this film, Cody was a great main character and Chicken Joe is arguably one of the best friends you could ever have. The contrast between Big Z and Tank and how surfing was portrayed was great! It’s definitely a movie you gotta see at least once.
“Coulda walked up to anyone. And… he walks right up to me” (he barges through the crowd) “He gives me this awesome one-of-a-kind Big Z necklace” (takes the necklace from a bunch of other ones) “And then he tells me, ‘You know, kid, never give up. Find a way, cuz that’s what winners do’” (he isn’t actually saying anything) I love the writing of this movie so much, this interaction is both funny and personifies Cody
6:40 “I don’t understand why everyone has to be so judgmental,I understand why mom is so judgmental. I think it’s because she cares partially,I think it’s also partially cause everyone else is looking at her like: ‘Hey Cody is just a bum’ ‘Cody this’ Cody that’. Cody’s me bro. let me be me. When is that gonna start?” Story of my life right here,what I love about Cody is that he captures the feelings of being judged by everyone because he’s unique among everyone. This is so relatable I’m 19 man
That’s definitely because of Shia. He’s had a troubled life and going through tough times during the making of this. 10/10 for Shia for capturing this perfectly.
A film portrayed as a made up “documentary” with actual pro surfers getting to voice certain characters and give a little insight into what they see when they surf. Also with the most natural dialogue ever from the actors. 😆 It’s just so well written and really well animated. I never get tired of watching this film^^
Yeah, why doesn't this movie get the kind of attention Frozen got? It does so much more that's new than that film ever did! And unlike Frozen, it doesn't constantly beat you over the head with any of the unique things it does!
@@jeniferclemente1252 You remember the SpongeBob episode MuscleBob BuffPants? In that, SpongeBob wants big muscles but finds Sandy Cheeks's training too stressful and grueling, so instead he fakes it by purchasing a pair of inflatable balloon muscles called Anchor Arms. Then he brags his head off to everyone at Goo Lagoon about how much stronger he is and becomes the most popular guy there, even though if anything he's actually weaker than he was without the fake arms. Frozen is like that. It keeps bashing us over the head with what it does, like "Oooh, look at me, I'm the first Disney movie to say you can't marry someone you just met!" "Oh, look, everybody, I'm the first Disney film that has a strong woman who doesn't need a man!" And so on and so on. Not only is that obnoxious, not only is it talking down to us, but it's not even true. If anything, it's actually less original than most other Disney films. Thank goodness Surf's Up isn't obnoxious like that! It doesn't constantly go "Look, I'm the first animated mockumentary movie!" or "Isn't it great that I'm the first documentary-esque movie with talking animals?" or whatever. Why couldn't Frozen be more like Surf's Up?
I remember watching this when i was 9 when cody said he’s 17 i said “ur that old?” now i’m here and im 17😂 this movie will forever be in my heart . ❤️ Edit: im 19 now 😭
I find it funny that in English he just says "cut it, Glenn. Stop it...", whilst in Portuguese he literally shouts "THROW YO MAMMA, LET'S SEE IF IT'LL BOUNCE BACK AT YOU!". Ah, Brazilians, such lovely people.
"I mean you know I'm not the only kid on the island whose dad was... Eaten. 😐" "Still, that must've been traumatic, though." "Not for me, bro. Not for me."
I love how Cody wants to follow his dream of being a pro surfer like Big Z but his brother Glen is constantly lecturing him about responsibilities but yet he's sitting on his mom's couch looking fat and happy. he's the real Loser not Cody
The 2 Directors Of Surf’s Up Are Chris Buck and Ash Brannon. Ash Brannon Was One Of The Co-Directors Of Toy Story 2 Alongside Lee Unkrich and John Lasseter Directed The Movie. Chris Buck Was Also The Director Of Tarzan, Frozen and Frozen II.
This movie’s great. One can argue this was even better than Sony pictures animation’s first movie, open season, which was mostly good on its own. Too bad this movie in particular is underrated.
I know people see this type of comment a lot, but this scene really made me feel for Cody. I know what it’s like to be in that living situation he was in before going to Pen Gu Island for the competition.
I've always wondered, are the filmmakers depicted in the movie humans or animals? It's never made explicitly clear, but it's kind of implied when it's shown that they know what a microphone is but Cody, who is a penguin, doesn't.
