#Cody surfs up license
Artistic License – Ornithology: The most blatant example is when Geek pees on Cody to heal a burn - birds don't urinate (like reptiles, the excretory system's products are released on the feces).

Armor-Piercing Question: Angry that Zeke refuses to watch him compete, Cody demands to know why Zeke disappeared after he wiped out of the contest.Always a Bigger Fish: Big Z was so concerned with winning, when he realized he was going to lose, he faked his death.Alter Kocker: The elderly penguins in Shiverpool speak using Yiddish accents and slang.Almost Kiss: In the last two minutes, Cody and Lani were about to kiss when Arnold (who has a Precocious Crush on Lani) interrupts them.Even stating the fact makes him feel faint. Affectionate Parody: Of surfing documentaries, with a plot parodying the 1987 surf film North Shore.An Aesop: Carpe Diem, and don't do something for the glory - do it because you enjoy doing it.The pitch is that Cody accompanies the Hang Five, a group of big wave riders (voiced by John Cena, Triple H, The Undertaker, Paige and Vince McMahon), in their quest for "The Trenches", a legendary surf spot holding the biggest waves in the world. In early 2016, Sony announced that they were partnering with WWE to produce a sequel, entitled Surf's Up 2: WaveMania, that was released Direct to Video on January 17, 2017, 10 years after the original film. It earned a surprising Academy Award nomination, and was the only film from Sony Pictures Animation to do so until Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse over a decade later, which ultimately won the award. The plot tells of a young Rockhopper penguin named Cody Maverick, who dreams of moving to the tropics and becoming a legendary surfer, like his idol, Big Z.Ī 2007 CGI animated film, and the second one from Sony's animation division. It takes on an interesting style: despite being set in a world of anthropomorphic talking animals, the film parodies surfer documentaries, complete with handheld camera shots and interviews with the cast spliced in various places.

Surf's Up is a film by Sony Pictures Animation.
