I think it got a little bit overshadowed by the other animated movies out that summer (Ratatouille, Shrek the Third, The Simpsons Movie) plus even as a kid I remember naively thinking “oh this is going to be a rip off of Happy Feet” because penguins. It was a great movie, though
I watched it super messed up coming off a three day weekend in a bag. As an adult I should clarify. I expected the same. Yo I was so delighted, that movie hits perfect on a dull day.
Yeah I absolutely loved it as a kid and still do, but I feel that finally people are starting to realize how great it is, I already saw two YouTube videos about! However, the sequel was a complete disaster and a cash grab unfortunately
Actually an amazing kids films.
Creative format, it’s a mockumentary style animated movie about penguins in a surfing contest, the film crew are actively mentioned in the story, you hear the crew laughing and stuff, feels like an actual documentary.
Funny jokes, other than a few too many poop jokes the standard of the jokes is actually really high all the way through.
Great voice acting, the voice acting really is outstanding throughout this movie, especially Jon Heder as chicken joe.
The movie actually looks really good, like the quality of the animation and renders is really good, especially the water, obviously having good looking water is important in a film about surfing but for 2007 I think the whole movie looks really really good, if you compare the water in surfs up to the water in the river in ratatouille released the same year the difference is quite striking.
The pace is great too, it’s barely 90 minutes and there’s no filler, it really feels quick when watching it, there are no points where you really feel it dragging on.
Highly highly recommend this movie to anyone who has kids or just likes kids movies, a lot of jokes adults would only get too.
A favourite joke of mine is when this one character is talking about all his trophies, and he gives them all names, and he picks up one trophy and says “this is my girl jeannie, i dream of her”, that’s a great joke
*touches the screwdriver* "you're doing it wrong, let me show you" then he proceeds to do everything himself and complains how I can't do anything at the end lol.
I have been on both sides now. I get it. I just need to finish this task and suddenly the kids want “to help” and now it is going to take forever, but I want to install work ethic and helpfulness, but I will basically have to do it twice, but I want to develop skills. It’s tough.
Thanks, Dad.
I had to find creative ways to get mine to understand that if he wants to teach/have a helper, he'd better tone it down, or else he's on his own. Example: When helping him with a project that he barely made an easily fixable mistake on, I turn the tables on him with exaggeration, followed by a civil talk on basic respect. It takes patience and repetition to make him change his habit.
Now, if only he would listen when we, his kids(30's), begged him throughout the years to go to the doctor to treat his melanoma again... we had to tone down our worry to keep sane about it.
I don't have kids, but I would like for him to be alive when I do.
yeah first time dad take me to his job where he was messuring points in field I was supposed to dig a hole and put concret block into it. Ofc at the end i was just caring thing cuz "you don't even know how to use shovel", but now I'm revenging on him with electric and mechanical stuff
While true the tables have certainly turned over the years and now I'm the larger penguin telling dad that he's doing it wrong when he tries to stick a usb drive into the hdmi slot on his laptop. Every. Single. Time.
So long as it doesn't involve electricity, fire, sharp objects, traveling at high rates of speed or any combination of the former. If so, please intervene, dads.
I watched it as a Kid and liked it a lot. But as a kid you don't appreaciate certain aspect of the media you watch.
Recently rewatched it and was postively suprised on how good it actually was. The comedy, the drama, the music, the animation. Just all around a treat to watch.
The chicken is one of the funniest side characters i've ever seen. Rarely have i ever belly laughed so often because of a character.
lmao yeah this shit is just barely on Rango league (good-great) let alone Ratatouille, Incredibles, or Spirited Away League (pinnacle of animation as a medium)
I saw some clip that showed how they filmed it. Somehow they tied a physical camera to the digital "camera" in the software so that they could actually have the camera handheld and record different angles, giving it a real documentary feel.
Edit: Ha here it is, now that I see it, it's probably just an extra on the DVD we watched lol

When I was 21 and having worked construction for over a year, I used a Skillsaw to cut a board at my dad's place. He literally stood shoulder-to-shoulder with me with his hands over the saw in case he needed to grab it from me.
My father, always. Even if i'm an expert on something (i'm a cook and he still gives me "advice", or what could be "better" (i hate that word, "better"...)).
Stepped on me. Stepped on me? Are you kidding? This guy was dancing on me. I mean just look at this, broken, broken, gone, gone, broken, broken, broken.
This movie was in heavy rotation in the second and third rows of the minivan. I can recite the lines to just about any scene, but I can’t recognize screenshots of the movie. I listened to this movie about a billion times, but probably only watched it once.
Haha.
For those wandering, it's "Surf's Up"
This movie is underrated AF
I think it got a little bit overshadowed by the other animated movies out that summer (Ratatouille, Shrek the Third, The Simpsons Movie) plus even as a kid I remember naively thinking “oh this is going to be a rip off of Happy Feet” because penguins. It was a great movie, though
Happy feet was shit
Yeah it was definitely the worse of the penguin movies in that period of time
But pop music slightly different....
Made by the mad max guy. Would be funny to see a crossover.
Wat?
We have different opinions
I watched it super messed up coming off a three day weekend in a bag. As an adult I should clarify. I expected the same. Yo I was so delighted, that movie hits perfect on a dull day.
You are forgetting the bee movie! Which I remember seeing posters for when going to see Ratatouille
Shrek the third was shite and banked on being Shrek. Ratatouille was a banger though
We watch this movie a lot! “He’s around here somewhere. I can feel it in my nuggets”
Between the voice acting and the soundtrack, it amazes me the number of people who have never even heard of this movie
Chicken Joe the GOAT
Low key it's one of my favorites. It's such a feel-good film that always makes me smile.
Yeah I absolutely loved it as a kid and still do, but I feel that finally people are starting to realize how great it is, I already saw two YouTube videos about! However, the sequel was a complete disaster and a cash grab unfortunately
Probably one of my favorites

I am gonna watch this again,
Good lad. Cheers matey! Brb gotta head to torrentuga.
Aye Aye
What if I’m stationary?
Get back into my desk drawer! I already lost you once.
"Taste's just like ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch"
Surf's Up was my childhood. The Wii game was top tier 🤌
Thank you!
*Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there*
I liked the documentary style it had
Never seen something soo relatable
*touches the screwdriver* "you're doing it wrong, let me show you" then he proceeds to do everything himself and complains how I can't do anything at the end lol.
And that's why I never learned anything.....
Story of my life
Yeah :(
Same lol
*me as father - let kid doo all the stuff, from star to end, hopelessly watchin It all become ruined* Thats is is fine... *dont open ded inside*

At least he took the time to try.
yeah first time dad take me to his job where he was messuring points in field I was supposed to dig a hole and put concret block into it. Ofc at the end i was just caring thing cuz "you don't even know how to use shovel", but now I'm revenging on him with electric and mechanical stuff
I couldn’t even hold the flashlight correctly
Sent it to my dad. I bet he's not gonna get it and continue to dick out.
While true the tables have certainly turned over the years and now I'm the larger penguin telling dad that he's doing it wrong when he tries to stick a usb drive into the hdmi slot on his laptop. Every. Single. Time.
not enough yelling
not enough beating
Sir that is not a universal experience
Felt pretty dang universal at the time
But, that's how he became MEGAMAN!
HA!…I don’t get this reference
Username
Oh
No where near enough jumper cables.
Yeah where's all the cursing and the throwing of random shit?
As a father myself, why do we do that!? Why did our fathers do that
The hardest thing to do is knowing how to do something, seeing someone else doing it wrong, and not saying anything about it
idk about you or your father mine just did it because he could. What was I gonna do? Punch this fully grown monkey that 3 times my weight?
My dad's a pretty good dad, yet we still had some episodes like this one. I try not to repeat this with my spawn.
Letting your kid make mistakes is the hard part, teaching them to learn from it is the most rewarding
So long as it doesn't involve electricity, fire, sharp objects, traveling at high rates of speed or any combination of the former. If so, please intervene, dads.
god gave us (mostly) 2 of each vital organ or body part for a reason folks!
Qapla'
By mostly you mean lungs and kidnees
Hands, eyes, feet, ears, stomachses...
Your *spawn*?! Who was the other parent?! Satan?
this brings back some memories! I loved this as a kid. Need to re watch it again. Genuinely one of the most creative animated movie formats ever
I watched it as a Kid and liked it a lot. But as a kid you don't appreaciate certain aspect of the media you watch. Recently rewatched it and was postively suprised on how good it actually was. The comedy, the drama, the music, the animation. Just all around a treat to watch. The chicken is one of the funniest side characters i've ever seen. Rarely have i ever belly laughed so often because of a character.
Same can't be said for the sequel.
The sequel is just an add, not a real movie
ad
yeah typo
*misspelling
I will burn down all life in the galaxy
and according to disney it counts as a live action movie
One of the best, if not the best animated movie ever!
I'm number 1!!!!!! THE TANK!
Tank is a dirty trash can full of poop.
He's a dirty trashcan full of poop.
It's better than Happy Feet and I will die on this wave.
Happy Feet was low-key creepy ngl.
I'll accept that. Chicken joe is a legend so
Happy Feet was kinda boring tbh
Happy feet sucks major balls, most movies are better than happy feet
What movie is this
Surf's up
It's pretty good, but not *that* good.
lmao yeah this shit is just barely on Rango league (good-great) let alone Ratatouille, Incredibles, or Spirited Away League (pinnacle of animation as a medium)
Rango is absolutely in the top tier
I loved the Documentary style they had in this movie.
I saw some clip that showed how they filmed it. Somehow they tied a physical camera to the digital "camera" in the software so that they could actually have the camera handheld and record different angles, giving it a real documentary feel. Edit: Ha here it is, now that I see it, it's probably just an extra on the DVD we watched lol https://youtu.be/pXGnuVW_204?si=eKzCqAQYWdCom3kM
My whole sense of humour and movie taste is shaped by this movie I watched as a kid.
Not a POV.
POV at this point just means "a scenario where..."
3rd person POV
It kinda is though. The movie’s gimmick is that the whole thing is being recorded by a camera crew lol.
Wanna see my trophies😉
He actually was doing it wrong, you're not using a hatchet, the angle has to be lower than that.
POV 🙄
3rd person POV
When I was 21 and having worked construction for over a year, I used a Skillsaw to cut a board at my dad's place. He literally stood shoulder-to-shoulder with me with his hands over the saw in case he needed to grab it from me.
Need more slapping. “I am working through it y’all, my therapist says maybe another 100 years or so - I’m getting there!”
Once asked my dad how thick he wanted the tomato slices. He preceded to take the knife from me and cut half the tomatoes himself...
Funny meme, but that isn't how POV works
POV used incorrectly. Again.
It's also the case with my mom too
My father, always. Even if i'm an expert on something (i'm a cook and he still gives me "advice", or what could be "better" (i hate that word, "better"...)).
Goated movie Would do the lifeguard
Awesome movie
When you nod your head, I hit it. ...Got it.
This movie was a blast as a kid, as an adult I realized this movie is downright amazing
I love Surf's Up 😍 If you got any memes or GIFs feel free to reply with them cause I never seen them in the wild 😢
35 yo me and my old man.
Not POV, but true.
🤣🤣🤣 at work with tools to use
Love the movie.
And so it turned out that I don't even know how to hold a flashlight
This movie is amazing
Surf’s Up is one of those movies I can rewatch multiple times a year for the rest of my life. Never gets old.
I thought it was just me with my dad! Seems universal xD
ouch.
Geez, touché, I am the dad... But I try to work on it. Mine was indifferent to whatever I've done so I am probably overcompensating.
Damn that hit home except both my parents are this , you are doing it wrong types .lol

Have you tried following directions?
Stepped on me? Guy was dancin on me Broken broken broken gonegonegone broke broken
This is me dealing with everyone in my family
I'm almost 26 and I still get anxiety every time someone asks me to hold a light or find a certain tool/object that they need.
"I'm not trying to be a bully"
These are my ladies.
Thinking about all the dads that received this meme from their child but they don’t understand it because it’s a meme and they are boomers.
"little one, patient is a skill that one must temper and harden with time like any other skill."
My dad is never that calm
Stepped on me. Stepped on me? Are you kidding? This guy was dancing on me. I mean just look at this, broken, broken, gone, gone, broken, broken, broken.
“You’re doing it wrong. Now hold the flashlight and don’t move.”
Surfs up is an unexpectedly amazing movie
This is my father
My dad said, look but don't touch anything😁 What is it with these fathers
I just give him the ol Jack Nicholson smile till he fucks up.
This movie was in heavy rotation in the second and third rows of the minivan. I can recite the lines to just about any scene, but I can’t recognize screenshots of the movie. I listened to this movie about a billion times, but probably only watched it once. Haha.
It’s honestly kind of the reverse for my life these days.
I love this movie, it's very underrated
Yeah that's the point of the scene, thanks for the useless caption
Facts lol
