Surf's Up
(USA, 2007, 83 minutes)
A young penguin from Shiverpool, Antarctica, dreams of competing in the World Penguin Surfing Championships but finds ambition isn’t the secret to get there. Charming, amiable animated comedy that makes up for its by-the-book plot with good characterisation and scripting well conveyed by a great voice cast; the animation itself is beyond reproach.
Columbia Pictures presents a Sony Pictures Animation film. With the voices of Shia LaBeouf, Jeff Bridges, Zooey Deschanel, Jon Heder, James Woods. Directed by Ash Brannon and Chris Buck; produced by Christopher Jenkins; screenplay by Don Rhymer, Ash Brannon, Chris Buck and Christopher Jenkins, from a story by Christopher Jenkins and Christopher Darren; music by Mychael Danna; character designer and art director, Sylvain Deboissy; production designer, Paul Lasaine; film editor, Ivan Bilancio; visual effects supervisor, Rob Bredow; senior animation supervisor, David Schaub.
