Surf's Up is a film by Sony Pictures Animation. It takes on an interesting style: despite being set in a world of anthropomorphic talking animals, the film parodies surfer documentaries, complete with handheld camera shots and interviews with the cast spliced in various places. The plot tells of a young Rockhopper penguin named Cody Maverick, who dreams of moving to the tropics and becoming a legendary surfer, like his idol, Big Z.A 2007 CGI animated film, and the second one from Sony's animation division. It earned a surprising Academy Award nomination, and was the only film from Sony Pictures Animation to do so until Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse over a decade later, which ultimately won the award.In early 2016, Sony announced that they were partnering with WWE to produce a sequel, entitled Surf's Up 2: WaveMania, that was released Direct to Video on January 17, 2017, 10 years after the original film. The pitch is that Cody accompanies the Hang Five, a group of big wave riders (voiced by John Cena, Triple H, The Undertaker, Paige and Vince McMahon), in their quest for "The Trenches", a legendary surf spot holding the biggest waves in the world. | |

Artistic License – Ornithology: The most blatant example is when Geek pees on Cody to heal a burn - birds don't urinate (like reptiles, the excretory system's products are released on the feces). Of course, this is likely just Rule of Funny. | |

Polar Penguins: Zig-zagged. Cody Maverick lives in the Antarctic town of Shiverpool, but most of the movie takes place in tropical Pengu Island, which is also inhabited by penguins and holds an annual surfing competition. There are even native Penguans that act like Hollywood Natives. No one other than Cody and his family are even stated to be from Antarctica. | |

Surf's Up / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: A lot of characters: Cody is impatient and short-tempered, caring only about becoming a surfing legend like Big Z. However, he does care for the friends he makes along the way, and learns some important lessons about surfing in the end that make him much more humble. Geek/ Ezekiel ‘Big Z’ Topanga is lazy and a bit grouchy, but it's mostly due to his humiliating defeat by Tank. Underneath it all, he sees Cody's real potential and decides to teach him how to surf like a pro despite the fact he left that life behind him. Mikey is a bit snarky, but that's mostly because he has to work for Reggie and is constantly belittled by him. Underneath it all, Mikey worries about the surfer's safety as is actually a pretty sensitive birds. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
Surf's Up / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Cody throws the final match by protecting Chicken Joe from Tank, causing Tank and Cody to wipe out. We then sees he's trapped in the Graveyard, struggling not to drown or get torn apart. Z saves him, comes out of hiding, and everyone praises Cody for risking his life for his best friend. | |

Second Place Is for Losers: Subverted. Big Z humorously calls Cody a "loser" because he didn't come in first, and Chicken Joe is shocked he won — he was just having fun and it isn't clear he even knows he was in a contest. During the entire film, all of the interviewed characters say that loser is as loser does, regardless of whether they come in first or not — save Tank of course. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Surf's Up / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Cody asks Big Z to watch him surf in the contest, but Z refuses and asks if winning is so important to Cody. They argue about it until Cody demands to know why Z's been hiding after his wipeout. After Z tells him the whole story, Cody becomes disheartened that his hero is a quitter, and both part. Later, Lani also berates Cody for caring more about winning than about her or Z. They all make up when Lani fears that Tank killed Cody, and Z risks his life to save Cody from the skeleton zone. | |

Prone to Tears: Mikey is the only one who was moved to tears by Geek/Big Z's speech. When he's caught on camera, he averts the camera and begs them to please give him a minute. | |
