warm weather means fun in the sun. The action-packed Surf's Up Happy Meal collection
inspires kids to be active both on land and in water."
Surf's
Up is an animated action-comedy that delves behind the scenes of the world
of competitive surfing. The film profiles teenage Rockhopper penguin Cody Maverick
( voiced by Shia LaBeouf), an up-and-coming surfer, as he enters his first pro
competition. Followed by a camera crew to document his experiences, Cody leaves
his family and home in Shiverpool, Antarctica to travel to Pen Gu Island for the
Big Z Memorial Surf Off.
Along
the way, Cody meets Sheboygan surfer Chicken Joe (voiced by Jon Heder), famous
surf promoter Reggie Belafonte (James Woods), surf talent scout Mikey Abromowitz
(Mario Cantone), and spirited lifeguard Lani Aliikai (Zooey Deschanel), all of
whom recognise Cody's passion for surfing, even if it's a bit misguided at times.
Cody
believes that winning will bring him the admiration and respect he desires, but
when he unexpectedly comes face-to-face with a washed-up old surfer (Jeff Bridges),
Cody begins to find his own way, and discovers that a true winner isn't always
the one who comes in first.
