The story unfolds as it would on ESPN, with interviews (with penguins) overlapping footage of (penguin) surfing action, gradually unveiling the tale of Cody Maverick (voiced by Shia LaBeouf, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eHoles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), a young penguin from Antarctica with dreams of winning a surfing competition--a competition named after his idol, the missing Big Z (Jeff Bridges, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Big Lebowski\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e).

But the documentary style gives the movie a different rhythm from the usual feature-length cartoon; it stutters and skips around, dithers on side topics, and backtracks to catch up with supporting characters. Some viewers may be annoyed, but others--perhaps the more media-savvy--will find it a refreshing change of pace. (Kids who don't watch much sports, however, may just find it confusing.) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSurf's Up\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e also features the voices of James Woods (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eHercules\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), Zooey Deschanel (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eElf\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), and Jon Heder (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eNapoleon Dynamite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e). --\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBret Fetzer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eUsed DVD, condition varies \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eNo refunds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eColumbia Pictures \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Starfish Book Nook \u0026 Coffee Corner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48121722765564,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/6707\/5240\/files\/IMG_4167.jpg?v=1758048851","url":"https:\/\/thebooknookbookstore.com\/en-ca\/products\/surfs-up-used-dvd","provider":"Starfish Book Nook \u0026 Coffee Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
