This week we had movie sessions at home almost daily. The movie: Surf’s Up has been watched continuously. Dani loves it and I must say, although I’m a little tired of watching it everyday, I love it each time I watch it.
Like the movie Happy Feet this movie is about Penguins but these ones Surf. There is one particular scene that makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it. Right in the beginning of the movie, when we see Antarctica environment with all the Penguins, ice, fog, real cold Antarctica weather and the Subtitle: Summer.
Here’s is the Plot Summary:
This story follows a teenage rock hopper penguin named Cody Maverick from his hometown of Shiverpool, Antarctica, where all of the other penguins think he’s nothing but a surfing fool, to the “Big Z Memorial Surf Off” on Pen Gu Island. Young Cody is determined to win the most important competition in the world of penguin surfing in honor of “Big Z,” a deceased surfing legend whom he has idolized since childhood. But the waves in Pen Gu are different than in Shiverpool, and the competition is steep. The current champ, egotistical Tank Evans, isn’t just about to let this little penguin knock him from first place without a fight. When Cody wipes out and encounters Geek, a recluse aging former surfer, living in the jungle, he learns some important lessons about life and surfing, and even teaches Geek a thing or two.

My son really like this movie specially because it teaches that we should fight to reach our goals and we shouldn’t give up when we want something.
