surf's up!

I must really say that for a animation freak like me i found this movie damn funny and great. Its kinda like a documentary film about surfing with Cody Maverick as the lead actor.

His family revolves around his elder brother, Glen(left side), his mother, Edna(right side). Cody is passionate about surfing while his mom and Glen always complains about him not being responsible.

The funny thing was the pics that they showed of him and Glen when they were born. Glen was really huge while Cody was a skinny baby.


One day while Cody was working this recruitment team came and that's how Cody got a chance to go to Penqu island where they even have SPEN (sports penquin entertainment network) which was really funny. Cody's a big fan of Big Z who was a gr8t surfer of his time. Then there is this Tank who's a big bully. There is this chicken Joe whose a surfer too!















Cody falls in love with the lifeguard, Lani who later turned out to be the niece of Big Z.

There was even Canquins (penguin Cannibals). Ha ha ha ha! Talk abut Penguin cannibals. So when Joe searches for Cody in the jungle he's captured by these cannibals who throws him into a boiling pot of water for the dinner while Zoe thinks that he's being treated like a king. "Its Kinda steamy but it opens up my pores" "it was kinda cool that they served me food in there (as in the boiling tub of water which he take it as a royal hot tub)" were one of my fav lines by Joe.
Reggie's the ever selfish one who is more into money and publicity. And there is his assistant, Mike who's unique in his own.










Well the movie's about how Big Z lost in the contest to Tank and went into a hideout and how Cody on finding that he was alive tried to persuade Z to teach him and train him so that he could win the contest. Z did train him but when Cody asked him to watch him surf he denied because he's afraid to show up to the people, i mean the penquins. So Cody's really disappointed in him but it turned out that Z really came to watch the contest but he had hid from the crowd so that he's not recognized.



Everything's fine in the contest with Cody, Joe (our very own chicken who survived from being Canquin's dinner and had made friends with them instead) and Tank (the bad guy) as the finalists. But it as it turned out it was Joe and Cody who got 27points each while Tank got none so it was a tie for both Joe and Cody. Its typical in a movie where the bad guy always acts as the spoilsport. Even here Tank tried to distract Joe but Cody who instead of focussing on winning surfed towards Joe and tried to help him by distracting Tank into following him to the boneyard (the most dangerous part of the ocean where even the pro's are scared to venture into it) instead. Cody falls but Z appeared and helped him out and yes he finally showed himself to the crowd.



I always liked happy endings and this movie did end with a happy note. Go watch the movie because words alone won't suffice how much fun i had while watching the movie! I think i wanna know how to surf now!lol!!!
