Maybe that is for the best. It makes movies like this that more of a gem. Plus, we've seen what happens to any film style that catches on, it gets done to death. Just look at The Matrix and slow-mo action or Rocky with the workout montages. Shit, remember when an extended universe was super cool? Now every studio with an IP that has even a mild connection feels like they have to make one. Some times its just best to remain a lone star in the night sky.
this movie was ahead of its time in so many aspects ngl the water simulation holds up do damn well Jeff Bridges was a perfect cast Chicken Joe was peak I stan just about everything about this movie
Yeah but it makes it so that we don’t get poor attempts to recreate it. If another film like this gets made it’ll probably have a lot of care and thought put into it
Surf's up is peak. Rewatched it 2 days ago while drunk af with some pizza and that was one of the best experiences in past few months. And the videogame on Wii was also peak.
Sony was actually really revolutionary with this, they had set up rigs that allow them to manually control "virtual cameras" and aim them around to better capture the skakey cam of documentaries...and they continued to revolutionize by NEVER USING IT AGAIN, or bothering ti revolutionize until Spider-Verse
@@dalekrenegade2596 i think they all came out 05-06. MOTP might've been the first actually. I just remember getting high in college and watching the goofy goobers as eden would say
This is one of the most underrated movies ever, the making of this movie was fricken incredible! They made a whole virtual world for the movies and then recorded it with a real cameraman!
This movie is very unknown. It has funny moments, and it has this fun documentary style feel. Even that one fire urchin scene I found hilarious. Broken, broken, gone, gone, broken, broken, broken…
It like Sony only good at making movie that use different format in storytelling. Spider-verse have crazy animation while this movie use mock-documentery
Did you guys know Surf's Up is actually a classic in Brazil? The brazilian dub is gold tier, since most voice actors use the Rio dialect. The story takes place in "Frio" de Janeiro in the movie (frio means cold in portuguese), and the scene where Glenn throws a snowball at Cody, he says: "throw mom to see if it bounces, dude!" And it just became a classic in brazilian dubbing 😁😁
Fun fact: The animation team set up a VR-like system in order to capture and use the movements of a real life camera man, which is why the camera movements feel so much like a real life documentary
Dude I fucking LOVED watching Surf’s Up as a kid! That sea urchin gag? The “broken, broken, gone, gone… Broken broken, gone-“ thing is something I still vividly remember and my family still references from time to time 😂 The mockumentary stuff was so captivating for me-I loved how real the camera movement felt and the way they used it to excel the humor and such. Genuinely a gem of a movie. I’m 18, almost 19 now and I guarantee I could still watch that movie in full and completely enjoy it even knowing everything that happens still. Honestly it’s crazy we didn’t get more movies like it, but I think the fact that we didn’t is what still makes it feel so ridiculously fresh many years later.
DUDE. That damn sea urchin is engrained into my brain so deeply that if I ever get dementia that's the only thing I'm going to be able to remember. My dad would parrot the sea urchin lines EVERY SINGLE DAY for my entire childhood. I vividly recall my mom being so annoyed at him doing it, but he did it for so long and so consistently that she eventually caved in and started to parrot it too. I remember watching this movie at least once a month for over a decade, man. We still have the original disk for it in the family living room! Also I totally agree on the fact that I can still watch it and enjoy it fully, like somehow it was preserved from aging poorly.
My family's dog is named Maverick. Not after the big stupid wave. Not after the big stupid war aircraft movie TopGun. He's named after the cool penguin in from Surf's Up aka Cody Mavericks
I remember just being amazed by this movie because of the concept and an animated movie no less, it has the feel of pixar bloopers and it’s hilarious honestly
This movie is a beautiful love letter to surfing, like you can FEEL the love pouring from the entire team. Some of the voice actors are real life surfers too. This movie is so important to me. It doesn't even have to be stricte about surfing; it's about loving your hobby and loving the process of it, not just winning. I pretend the sequel doesn't exist though (just like it's common knowledge that Pacific Rim has only 1 movie)
I find it funny that Kor knows Jeff Bridges from "Tron" and not "The Big Lebowski" even though the cardigan he wears in nearly every single video is *his* cardigan
This movie is genuinely one of the best movies I've ever watched, and I remember thinking that the water was actually real and not animated. Surf's Up just has a vibe that was never really replicated again, and that's kinda sad.
The way this movie was filmed is actually incredible and im not sure its been done since. They basically animated an entire 3d scene, includeing like the background characters and the scenery, then they mapped it and tracked physical camera movements through out it. Or some shit like that, Idk Im just a comment on a C tier youtube vid
I have a big old chicken Joe poster in my room for about 3 years now (the one they show at 3:33 ) I’ve been subbed for about 4 yet I’ve been waiting for this video for 100 years
I know many people say that certain movies defined their childhood and this was the one for me. 5:11 was one of my moms favorite jokes in any animated movie ever.
I'm watching on my phone near a sunny window so it was kind of dim/blurry for a second and for like half a millisecond before kor started talking I thought y'all actually got Shia lebouf in the video 😭
Funny you guys would mention that the cave surfing scene would make a great game because back when I had the dvd for surfs up, it had one of those mini game selections in the menu that you could play with your remote- and that scene was one of them! I played that one the most bc it was indeed very sick, so I remember it more clearly but there were maybe 2 others too? For sure there was a surfing one as well and maybe one where you were the lifeguard? Pretty cool tho I miss those days
I'm a film major right now and one of the running jokes throughout the department is that Surf's Up is one of the best movies to ever exist. Literally a film teacher could randomly include the poster in a presentation slide and most of the class would laugh and cheer 😅🤣
FOR SOME REASON EVERYTIME I MENTION OR EVEN *THINK* ABOUT A MOVIE I GO ONTO RUclips AND THE VERY FIRST VIDEO TO POP UP IS THEIR REACTION TO IT LIKE WTF-
This movie was my childhood, I must have rewatched it hundreds of times and yet I didn’t remember a sequel even existing, so safe to say I probably wiped it from my memory for a reason.
A man 3 rows ahead of me on a plane had a heart attack while we were in the air. I don't have any medical experience so I couldn't help, but there was also nowhere to go, so I just had to sit there and watch as the medical professionals they did have on board laid the man down in the aisle and tried to resuscitate him with CPR and the AED, eventually leading to convulsions. Surfs Up was on the airplane entertainment system, so I put that on as a distraction. That was just a week ago too, what a coincidence.

It's honestly a shame animated mockumentaries didn't catch on. It was such a great concept and this movie nailed it
I hope to make one if the stars are kind to me

The lack of them makes the few that exist so special. Tour de pharmacy and both what we do in the shadows are great
this movie was ahead of its time in so many aspects ngl
the water simulation holds up do damn well
Jeff Bridges was a perfect cast
Chicken Joe was peak
I stan just about everything about this movie
Yeah but it makes it so that we don’t get poor attempts to recreate it. If another film like this gets made it’ll probably have a lot of care and thought put into it
I never even realized he was counting the kids he hits while surfing lmao
ikr! several years after watching the movie as a kid, rewatching it a couple of times, and i NEVER heard him counting the kids
It's that sweet Mandela effect 😛
“stepped on me? stepped on me?! he was dancin on me” 😭😭😭😭😭😭
the cut and dry humor alongside the mockumentary format
this movie is Arrested Development for kids

Surf's up is peak. Rewatched it 2 days ago while drunk af with some pizza and that was one of the best experiences in past few months. And the videogame on Wii was also peak.
Dude the game was straight fire I told my friends to trust me on game night and pulled out the Wii from storage and it was a blast split screen
Yes this film was great to watch drunk or high, when I was younger I loved this film rewatching it, what the film teaches and everything is amazing
Oh damn there’s a Wii one? I got the GameCube copy. Watching it drunk with a pizza sounds fun asf, might do that after work today
Man, the nostalgia is crazy. Lol
I played it all the time on ps2, that game was genuinely amazing.

Sony really can make good movies if the directors had good ideas, they rival disney in graphics and budget if anything
The influx of Penguin movies in the mid 2000s was definitely odd. But I think the consensus is that this is the best of them.
By a long shot
Penguins got super popular from the Planet Earth documentary early-mid 00s
i still remember the existance of little baby (or fairy) penguins, yknow the ones that have a max size of 30 cm

I'm torn between liking the video because I like it, and not liking the video because I don't want you to watch Surf's Up 2
NO EXACTLY THE SECOND MOVIE IS SO BAD
But what about them playing the game?
There's a second movie 😭?
the second movie with John Cena is one of the many reasons why I despise sequels nowadays
Surf's Up 2 is the original Megamind 2.
The general consensus is "it never existed".
The Polynesians were the first people to invent surfboards, the Polynesians are also the same people group who Moana from Disney’s Moana belongs to.
They add polynesian tattoos to some of the penguin characters yet they're voiced by white actors

Chicken Joe is the laid back dude people wish they could be. Man singlehandedly befriended a savage tribe, made it to the finals, and _won._
Chicken Joe being the Eminem of that universe is mind blowing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If Surf's Up was made today they would 100% cast Jack Black as Z
My worst nightmare honestly, I'm so glad this movie wasn't made today
JB is Panda and nothing else
man i actually like the guy but god he does not fit z at all.
what if he was tank?
They didn't react too the best quote in the movie. "Cody's this Cody's that, Cody's me bro, let me be me"
Or the line about his not wanting to lose another father, the deepest line in the fucking movie.
I didn’t realize this until just now, but the opening scene is a nod to Dogtown and the Z-Boys
So I WASN’T crazy when I thought the vibes were similar
One of the best movies Sony made! Sad how underrated it is! 🐧🏄♂️
It like Sony only good at making movie that use different format in storytelling. Spider-verse have crazy animation while this movie use mock-documentery

Never watch the sequel. It's litterary just an ad
there is no Surf's Up sequel
The second movie is what everyone thought the first one was going to be like
I hate the 2nd movie
Isn’t it only 70 minutes long as well?
There's no sequel @bonic7217
This movie has some of the greatest Brazilian dubbing gems I've ever seen, if you understand Portuguese I REALLY recommend you check it out.
