I think I remember seeing this film in the theatres, and I enjoyed it. I never realized how criminally underrated it is. Talking penguin movies were quite the niche cinema, I guess
Surf's Up is really something unique. It's simple but it gives a great message: learning to enjoy life instead of being driven to win, and sacrificial friendship. I also love how they used motion capture for the realistic camera movements to make the entire movie look like an actual documentary. This and Wall-e have to be some of my favourite animated movies of 2007-2008. It's weird if you think that Modern animated movies (with the exclusion of a few recent releases like Puss in Boots 2) lack the originality and a good message or storytelling, because many people falsely assume that "animation is for kids", when you get Masterpieces like Shrek, Megamind, Wall-e, HTTYD and Surf's up
Yeah, one of those lackluster movies you mentioned is Frozen. Oddly enough, one of the same people who co-directed this movie, which is rather unique and really good, co-directed Frozen, which is a rather unoriginal film with TERRIBLE writing and bad messages (it's OK to run away, all strangers are evil monsters, don't take responsibility for your actions, etc.)! How does that happen?!
Just finished my rewatch of this film after many years And it's so so good. The film is so simple and It's so we'll done The animation is amazing, the voice acting was quality and the soundtrack is one of my favorites And that final shot of them in the tube was beautiful Great film ❤️
I've rewatched this film 3 or 4 times in the past year. And what is crazy to me is I enjoy it just as much as when I was a kid. I went back and watched Open Season (same studio similar budget 1 year before) and I was legitimately disgusted with how bad it was in comparison. I live in California and have been surfing pretty regularly for the past 2 years and this movie captures so perfectly the attitude that surfers have and should have. Surfing can be completely embodied by the scene where they're all surfing close to sunset and 'Into Yesterday' is playing. Everytime I see the scene it just relaxes me. Tank Evans is also just so amazing because of the caricature he is. Everytime he's onscreen I'm laughing. Happy to see someone else giving this movie the recognition it deserves.
This movie actually feels closer to my heart now than it did when I was smaller This movie OWNS ME Great video Emni! Love how you basically told exactly what makes this movie great, especially with you having taken part in the surf community as well! (Side note: I come from the freestyle trampoline community - yes, it’s a thing -and the vibes are quite exactly the same! Just with electronic music and less water. Still got half naked people too though!)
Agreed! I'm older now and I suddenly find myself in the position of Z. I was a competitive dancer and touring dancer for many years. But now I'm in a place where I don't have access to the time or space to dance, and my body is finally falling apart. It's been truly traumatic. I'm not the dancer I once was and that kills me. So yeah, this movie really speaks to me more now than it did when I was at the peak of my ability.
@@stacie1595 That sounds unfortunate. The protagonist of cars three is in a similar situation as you so I would recommend examining how he handles his situation.
Watched this movie many many times as a kid, have a lot of fond memories about it. This was a fantastic vid! Never realised just how great the movie was/is! That cast lineup, wow.
brilliant video, I was smiling the whole time because you've said everything perfectly. I'll always have Surf's Up as one of my top animated films for it's authenticity and Indie pacing; building on the surprisingly already developed characters/dynamics and letting the pace go its own way to a climax that actually raises the stakes more than you realise. Criminally underrated, so thanks for talking about it!
I loved this movie as a kid. I love this movie even more now than I did back then, because this is one of the few kid's movies that sheds light upon existentialism.
Great video! I’m from Oceanside California and the surf culture here is real! When I watched this movie when I was a kid I was so amazed how they nailed the vibe correctly, even now today I have so much admiration for the crew that worked on it. They killed it!
Great take, on this forgotten masterpiece, a first animation to do a documentary style of filmmaking….the voice cast is great and the soundtrack is immaculate….. You’ve just earned yourself a new subscriber…
That movie is one of the golden gems like many old movies. There are so many deep quotes and moments that youngsters find funny, but as we age, we find it pretty majestic and realistic.
I was lucky, I watched this movie around 2010 on DVD - when I was about 47 years old. So I could really appreciate its quality, messages and , yes, its effective management of partly rather complex issues. But mostly, as another viewer (NW-Ninja) wrote down in the comments it made me smile, oftentimes giggle and sometimes laugh out loud throughout. Have rewatched it since several times. Thanks for this well-done reminder!
thank you i just watched it the other day and its just stuck with me "how can a movie about surfing penguins can even make me feel so much". seeing this video (and also some thoughts i already had about it myself haha) its clear to me. this movie has soul, has so much soul and it pierced my heart. 10/10 ill watch it again in the near future, what a classic.
this is a way better movie analysis than like 70% of million sub channels have ever done, you aren't spending 17 mins just recapping everything that happened in the movie, you're actually going in depth about characters and themes. PEAK video.
This movie is easily my Dad's favorite movie, and Chicken Joe is his favorite character--we have all the interactions between Chicken Joe and the Pen-Guans memorized and will quote them at each other. XD One thing I'm surprised you didn't mention about the cameramen/documentary aspect is the fact that it allows for natural fourth wall breaks and acknowledgements--like how Lani glances at the camera when she's surfing or how Cody looks at it, horrified, when Geek goes over the cliff, or how talking to the cameramen (voiced by the directors!) allows for a natural progression of the plot. I love this movie so much I swear
I completely forgot how great this movie was, i havent watched it in a while i decided to go ahead and rewatch it recently on RUclips. The movie is absolutely hilarious but also just absolutely heartwarming all the same, i almost cried when i got to the end because of how beautiful the message was. I wish there were more movies like this...
one of my favorite childhood movie together with ratatouille and princess mononoke. i remember my mom rented it for 48h, and in those 48h i must have watch it at least 6 time. the fact that i was into skateboarding at that time and also love La marche de l empereur (that docu about emperor pinguin) surr helped a lot.
It IS the Citizen Kane of all animated penguin surfing movies! BTW, best animated water... puts Pixar to shame. If you go to Mavericks Beach at Half Moon Bay it looks a bit like Pangoo. AND it has Jeff Bridges.
i absolutely love this analysis so so much, didnt think there was going to be much about surfs up but videos like these make me feel so happy and reliving the film again :)
I can't believe this movie got Lauryn Hill to do a song. Other than the unfinished songs from her disastrous unplugged album she only released a handful of songs since her album of the year win in 1997. And one of them was a songs about her struggles with mental health in a abusive relationship on a soundtrack from a movie with surfing penguins.
Surfs up has been one of my favorite movies for so long. Its what introduced me to Green Day and it’s always going to be a comfort movie(your last bit about the therapy and still going through the wiki is too personal)
I LOVED this movie as a kid, and rewatching it recently, it's genuinely a fun watch! Knowing how it was made, with all the improv and camera work, just adds love to the special place in my heart I have for this movie. I also surfed (for a time, I sucked ass and didn't want to drown lol) and am a little familiar with surf culture, and this movie does represent the laid-back nature of it all really well. (also the scene where big z is teaching cody how to carve the board, and to go with the grain/don't fight the wave, genuinely helped me learn how to drive lmao)
I watched this movie when I was a kid and I rewatched it recently not expecting much... But I was really surprised how well it holds up and how so many scenes were genuinely funny and how the story is actually enjoyable. I definitely agree with you that this movie is underappreciated and has a certain charm to it that not a lot of other kids movies have!
This video is done so well! For a new channel on the come up I can’t wait to see how much better you will get in a year or two. I loved the video and can’t wait to see what you cover next!
This has been my favourite film that no one's heard of for years and all of a sudden, yt suggests this video and there's at least 2 other videos on it, this is a good day!
this is indeed a masterpiece.. probably my favorit 3D animated movie ever. yes it's so simple yet so effective even more effective than any Disney or Pixar movies. the camera style is cool and funny, the footage of Big Z falling still made me laugh because it's really like real thing. The soundtrack is absolute banger correct, i still listen to it to this day especially pocket full of stars by nine black alps, Drive by Incubus, and into yesterday by Sugar ray.
I watched this when i very young, I remember really enjoying it and being soothed by it's documentary style atmosphere, I haven't seen it in years and I wonder how it's held up
Wow emmi I just came across this video and this was so good! This movie was such a big part of our childhood I remember we played with the McDonald’s toys and used the surfboards for lps lol! This was seriously well done deep dive and I appreciate the photo of little us and hearing your perspective of the surfing community / contest world. Great job!
So glad you found this!! This movie always brings back good memories. I remember making my grandpa take me to multiple Mcdonalds until I found a Lani toy lol
beautiful ... u really made a boys day in Malaysia... i love genuine vids like this... im glad someone sees this movie eye to eye with me.splendid vid. hope u do more Emmi
Awesome, AWESOME video!!! I absolutely loved this gem of a movie. It will always hold a place in my heart. Speaking of the music, there's this part where Geek/Big Z picks up his ukulele and plucks three notes and strums it along with this score and it was sooooo beautiful 😍 Could it be that Sony Pictures Animation is kind of a silent master of animation or something? Because look what film they'd come out with eleven years later.
Holy cow. I absolutely loved your take. Thank you for tapping into the amazingness of the movie. The two sides of the coin that Cody and Z hold toward surfing is the absolute best. And your analysis captures in its tone. Great work! Hope to see another. An animated film, ideally. Or the TMNT 1990 movie. Thank you!!
Ahhhhhhh!!! Yes! Surfs up is amazing. Confirmation Bias be Confirmation Bias, I enjoyed and agreed with your breakdown of what makes Surfs Up such a fantastic experience. I have shared this movie with many individuals throughout my adult life and I do agree that this is an underrated Masterpiece that still doesn’t get the credit it deserved.

Don’t worry about “how long it takes” to produce content, or the gaps between your content releases. Better to make content you are passionate about with genuine passion than slam out videos just to slam out videos. But, maybe I have a little bias here as well. 😂 Anywho, I hope life is treating you well, I’m off to sing the soundtrack to Surfs Up as loudly as I can!
Thank you for the very kind comment! Im so glad you enjoyed and agree with my thoughts! I totally agree about creating content! Nothing is more important to me than inspiration and deriving joy and fulfillment from making a video. I wish the same for you and your content! That being said, I have exciting news that I actually posted another video today, and I certainly put it out at my own pace! Haha
as a kid this movie blew up my love of surfing then moving to the OBX in 2017 i was so hyped i could finally surf and hell i even managed to get a shore break barrel while bodyboarding. that movie genuinely sparked something in me and without it i wouldnt have as near the love i have for the ocean and surfing like to the point getting landlocked back in ohio from 2018 to literally exactly 1 month ago was such a pain. I'm now down in florida and just about every day I go to the beach and go bodyboarding since im saving to get another longboard or one of those beater boards with the fins. Genuinely an amazing movie and holds a special place in my mental and psychological being man
Honestly I’m late to this but I watched surfs up recently after watching it as a kid man it holds up so well imo and the music makes it so much better as with recent movies I’ve heard the same exact songs barely relating to scenes, loved this review, and hearing ‘the songs in this are a playlist a surfer would have’ while I have many of these songs and surf 😂 10/10. I kinda wanna even watch it again right now, so sad they made surfs up 2 absolutely disgusting, movies need more free form like this to make true gems
Hi ! Must say first time I see you're content and I truly love it ! Really enjoyed the music you added behind you're voice and I would love to learn them, really nice choices btw. If you can find a bit of time to tell me what are theses songs it would be wonderful! Like every music after 10 minutes of video 😂 Anyway I'm a big fan of this movie too and as you i feel it's really underrated so thanks you for talking about it so accurately !
I LOVED this movie as a kid, I really should rematch it. It's one of those movies I'm surprised not as many people talk about I promise I'll post more consistently, last video, 7 months ago
Amazing review the best I’ve ever seen of this movie. By the way chicken Joe is so cool that he probably be Vibin if somebody deep-fried him and ate him alive.
My father has probably watched this film 50+ times. It is a legitimately enjoyable feel good film.
Same
I am your father
I think I remember seeing this film in the theatres, and I enjoyed it. I never realized how criminally underrated it is. Talking penguin movies were quite the niche cinema, I guess
Talking penguin surfing movie

How does that happen?!
There are 2 types of people, those who recognise Surfs Up as the cinematic Masterpiece that it is and those who haven't seen it yet.
I showed this movie to my old skateboarding stepdad. He said it was genuinely his favorite animated movie after that :)
I haven't forgotten this film. Almost everyday, I reflect on how this has greatly impacted my childhood.
Just finished my rewatch of this film after many years
And it's so so good.
The film is so simple and It's so we'll done
The animation is amazing, the voice acting was quality and the soundtrack is one of my favorites
And that final shot of them in the tube was beautiful

Every time, I mean every time, I watch this movie. I can’t help but smile from beginning to credits.
This movie actually feels closer to my heart now than it did when I was smaller
This movie OWNS ME
Great video Emni! Love how you basically told exactly what makes this movie great, especially with you having taken part in the surf community as well!

I love this movie because it teaches not to always win but how to be a Winner.
Learning that Napoleon Dynamite is in Surfs Up is probably the highlight of my day
Watched this movie many many times as a kid, have a lot of fond memories about it. This was a fantastic vid! Never realised just how great the movie was/is! That cast lineup, wow.
Thanks so much! You have good taste! Haha

The simplicity of your editing is incredibly endearing. It reminds of public access tv or something nostalgic like that.
"Except for Chicken Joe... He has no flaws." XD Accurate!
Nice!!!
Who’s this
My boyfriend, back off 😤😤

I Totally Love this Movie!!! 💙🏄♂🐧
A beautiful homage, Emmi. Thank you for doing this - the directors and I are so glad you found Surf's Up to have meaning on your life.
Thank you so much! Im glad you enjoyed it. It certainly has been a special film for me since childhood.
Are you implying you worked on the film?
It IS the Citizen Kane of all animated penguin surfing movies! BTW, best animated water... puts Pixar to shame. If you go to Mavericks Beach at Half Moon Bay it looks a bit like Pangoo. AND it has Jeff Bridges.
So true

Great video! You put into words perfectly why I always loved the movie! The behind the scenes footage is also very interesting!
Surfs up has been one of my favorite movies for so long. Its what introduced me to Green Day and it’s always going to be a comfort movie(your last bit about the therapy and still going through the wiki is too personal)
I actually learned things about films in a really understandable way, this is a really good video!
Thanks friend! ❤️❤️
I saw a TikTok of Cody saying “let me be me” and then I watched the movie that night. Unbelievable movie
I LOVED this movie as a kid, and rewatching it recently, it's genuinely a fun watch! Knowing how it was made, with all the improv and camera work, just adds love to the special place in my heart I have for this movie. I also surfed (for a time, I sucked ass and didn't want to drown lol) and am a little familiar with surf culture, and this movie does represent the laid-back nature of it all really well.

Just watched this and have to say it’s a new favorite! Funny and simple!
This is my favorite movie and you really do it justice with this video. Thank you so much.
Finally! My favourite movie is getting more attention! Awesome video btw!
I watched this movie when I was a kid and I rewatched it recently not expecting much... But I was really surprised how well it holds up and how so many scenes were genuinely funny and how the story is actually enjoyable. I definitely agree with you that this movie is underappreciated and has a certain charm to it that not a lot of other kids movies have!
I remember my dad trying to get my sister and i into buggy boarding around middle school and the technic these pengiuns use is pretty accurate.
This video is done so well! For a new channel on the come up I can’t wait to see how much better you will get in a year or two. I loved the video and can’t wait to see what you cover next!
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Hope you stick around for more shenanigans! :)
I AGREE 100%
Basically an awesome story about existentialism.
There, sorted the guts of this movie in one short sentence - saved your good but lengthy diatribe
This has been my favourite film that no one's heard of for years and all of a sudden, yt suggests this video and there's at least 2 other videos on it, this is a good day!
The fact that this movie is 20:07, and the added fact that the movie came out in 2007….………….RADICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is indeed a masterpiece.. probably my favorit 3D animated movie ever. yes it's so simple yet so effective even more effective than any Disney or Pixar movies. the camera style is cool and funny, the footage of Big Z falling still made me laugh because it's really like real thing.

It was my number 1 favorite movie when I was in high school.
Surfs up was an absolute banger and it doesn't get enough hype!
This needs to be seen
to be honest, I watched Surf's up because of Green day but the movie turned out better than I thought ❤ truly underrated
This is a hidden gem of a video
Thank you!!
Big ups to you🔥Really well worked out video and i like your humor🥳
_Into Yesterday_ is just *sublime.*
Had no idea that was Zoey buy her awkward style fits perfectly
Ive never heard of this movie and im so fascinated. Especially wow an animated mockumentary? I need this check this out. This is fascinating to me. 😅
Ive never heard of this one. Now Ill have to introduce it to the fam.
truly an underrated gem❤️
Wow emmi I just came across this video and this was so good! This movie was such a big part of our childhood I remember we played with the McDonald’s toys and used the surfboards for lps lol! This was seriously well done deep dive and I appreciate the photo of little us and hearing your perspective of the surfing community / contest world. Great job!
So glad you found this!! This movie always brings back good memories. I remember making my grandpa take me to multiple Mcdonalds until I found a Lani toy lol
Surfs up has been my favorite movie since I was like 6
beautiful ... u really made a boys day in Malaysia... i love genuine vids like this... im glad someone sees this movie eye to eye with me.splendid vid. hope u do more Emmi
Thanks for the kind words! Im so glad you enjoyed!
Hey, don't ever let anyone convince you it's wrong to enjoy this movie
This movie is absolutely amazing in my opinion too
Love it to death
Awesome, AWESOME video!!! I absolutely loved this gem of a movie. It will always hold a place in my heart. Speaking of the music, there's this part where Geek/Big Z picks up his ukulele and plucks three notes and strums it along with this score and it was sooooo beautiful 😍
Could it be that Sony Pictures Animation is kind of a silent master of animation or something? Because look what film they'd come out with eleven years later.
Thank you so much! It truly is a gem!
One of my favourite movies of all time!
Holy cow. I absolutely loved your take. Thank you for tapping into the amazingness of the movie. The two sides of the coin that Cody and Z hold toward surfing is the absolute best. And your analysis captures in its tone. Great work! Hope to see another. An animated film, ideally. Or the TMNT 1990 movie. Thank you!!
Thanks so much! Hopefully more videos to come this year! :)
Ahhhhhhh!!! Yes! Surfs up is amazing. Confirmation Bias be Confirmation Bias, I enjoyed and agreed with your breakdown of what makes Surfs Up such a fantastic experience. I have shared this movie with many individuals throughout my adult life and I do agree that this is an underrated Masterpiece that still doesn’t get the credit it deserved. Surfs Up was made with so much heart and soul you can just feel it it every scene. Much of Cinema has lost it’s heart and soul, lost in the emotionless pit we call capitalism.
Don’t worry about “how long it takes” to produce content, or the gaps between your content releases. Better to make content you are passionate about with genuine passion than slam out videos just to slam out videos. But, maybe I have a little bias here as well. 😂
Anywho, I hope life is treating you well, I’m off to sing the soundtrack to Surfs Up as loudly as I can!
Thank you for the very kind comment! Im so glad you enjoyed and agree with my thoughts! I totally agree about creating content! Nothing is more important to me than inspiration and deriving joy and fulfillment from making a video. I wish the same for you and your content! That being said, I have exciting news that I actually posted another video today, and I certainly put it out at my own pace! Haha
This was such a good movie, too bad the sequel is the most disappointing thing ever
We don’t talk about that… lol
What?!! this is news to me!
@@AbrasiousProductions it is about wrestling
I'm convinced
as a kid this movie blew up my love of surfing then moving to the OBX in 2017 i was so hyped i could finally surf and hell i even managed to get a shore break barrel while bodyboarding. that movie genuinely sparked something in me and without it i wouldnt have as near the love i have for the ocean and surfing like to the point getting landlocked back in ohio from 2018 to literally exactly 1 month ago was such a pain. I'm now down in florida and just about every day I go to the beach and go bodyboarding since im saving to get another longboard or one of those beater boards with the fins. Genuinely an amazing movie and holds a special place in my mental and psychological being man
I am doing a masters in Documentary Production and I argue this is the best documentary film of all time 😂
I am six months late, but you have a new fan.
Thank you so much!!
Honestly I’m late to this but I watched surfs up recently after watching it as a kid man it holds up so well imo and the music makes it so much better as with recent movies I’ve heard the same exact songs barely relating to scenes, loved this review, and hearing ‘the songs in this are a playlist a surfer would have’ while I have many of these songs and surf 😂 10/10. I kinda wanna even watch it again right now, so sad they made surfs up 2 absolutely disgusting, movies need more free form like this to make true gems
DO NOT EVER BOTHER OR WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING SURFS UP 2.
I always knew Chicken Joe was peak male attitude and physique
I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH ITS MY FAVE
Yet another amazing video , can’t say i’m surprised 😌
Thanks queen ❤️
Incredible piece
Thank you so much!!
Not tomentian this has one of the best soundtracks of the time, and yes even better than cars!
Hi ! Must say first time I see you're content and I truly love it ! Really enjoyed the music you added behind you're voice and I would love to learn them, really nice choices btw. If you can find a bit of time to tell me what are theses songs it would be wonderful! Like every music after 10 minutes of video 😂
Anyway I'm a big fan of this movie too and as you i feel it's really underrated so thanks you for talking about it so accurately !
Thank you so much! Unfortunately I no longer have any idea what the songs were called. All of them were from the free RUclips music catalog though!
incredible video mate, one of my favorite films
Thanks so much! You have good taste! Lol
Goosebumbs everytime i watch this movie ❤truly a legendary one
Thank you for spreading God’s good word that this is one of the best movies.
I miss the 2000s.
Also. I knew Geek was Big Z because of the pattern of his feathers.
You know, I just realized that this and the first Cars movie both have the same plot
That movie deserves more views.
A forgotten masterpiece???? I have the full sized movie poster in my apartment. The real ones haven't forgotten....
i luv da surfs up
I LOVED this movie as a kid, I really should rematch it. It's one of those movies I'm surprised not as many people talk about
I promise I'll post more consistently, last video, 7 months ago
Oops 😬 lol
Seriously underrated
Yo why this so underrated
Amazing review the best I’ve ever seen of this movie. By the way chicken Joe is so cool that he probably be Vibin if somebody deep-fried him and ate him alive.
Thank you!
