But or Rent - Surfs Up - • Surf's Up
Surfing means everything to teenage penguin Cody Maverick (Benoît Brière). Followed by a documentary film crew, he leaves his home in Antarctica for Pen Gu Island, site of the the Big Z Memorial Surf Off. Cody wants to be respected and admired, and he believes that winning the competition will bring him what he craves. However, an encounter with washed-up surfer Geek (Mariloup Wolfe) teaches Cody about what is truly important.

I never expect to see reactions to this - very few people seem to actually know or remember it. I saw it first in the waiting room for a psychiatrist visit, but I've watched it through a few times (we happened to have a blu-ray disk for it that I was able to watch), and I've never forgotten it. It's not a movie I would expect to like as much as I do (although I wouldn't expect to dislike it either), but something about it just makes it really good, in addition to the nostalgia factor (which is always a very strong factor for me for some reason, even though I'm only 20). And I love the style choices, especially how they used the camera perspectives throughout the movie. And even though I wouldn't really remember any specific song, the soundtrack is very good as well, which is usually the most important factor for me.

I had a poll over on Patreon. They are the ones who suggested it 👍🏾

[@applejayz1987]

34:40 you know, funny thing is, skateboarding was literally started so surfers could keep going even on land and when waves were low, just boarding around wherever and whenever they felt. Love this whole movie, the animation, acting, immersive down to earth cinematography, the whole lesson on being caught up in fame and success vs the real heart and soul, just aughhh

[@hiddenechoes]

Such a cool tidbit!

[@little_kawala_baby5761]

This is one of my favorite movies. I love big z and the way he bows to the wave. Like he was thanking the wave

[@realmeu2785]

i thought he was praying to the wave

[@little_kawala_baby5761]

@@realmeu2785 that could be what he was doing as well

[@Amused_Comfort_Inc]

The story of the elder penguins making surfing is taken from the real stories of how surfing was invented. There's documentaries on it and they're so worth watching, it's a very sentimental sport for lots of folks

[@MasterBuilderDragon]

I’ve seen this movie a million times, but I never noticed how incredible the acting is until now. The characters don’t talk like they’re in a movie, they talk like anyone else would in real life; stumbling with their words, interrupting/talking over each other in a conversation, having to think as they go while being interviewed. It almost feels like there was no script at all. This movie flows so naturally that you don’t even think about details like that.

[@NeonJJ_195]

Same! I watched it a million times too but I guess as a kid never paid that much attention to the voice acting

[@w.randyhoffman1204]

So glad to see a reaction to this! Thank you! One of the amazing things about this film is that it had no script -- the directors told the actors what points they needed to hit during any given scene and the actors ad-libbed the dialogue.

[@loud_hailer6240]

What a fun movie! The documentary style is so well done, and I like how it connects with the feeling of fun of surfing

[@kingscorpion7346]

you should see the behind the scenes done on this. yes, it is CGI, and yes, actors provided the voices... but there was a lot more to it than that, that made filming this movie unique.

[@vidkris1535]

Childhood movie right here!

[@ajandrianjafymusic]

This is one of my childhood favourite. My uncles a surfer and he put this on for me and my brother when we stayed with him one summer. So many good memories with this film. My son who’s autistic is animal and beach obsessed and loves this film

[@_Young_jedi]

Man I really saw myself in this as Cody cause I’m a huge fan of mark hamill/ Luke skywalker I’ve always wanted to be a Jedi like him

[@goatiefatdaddy]

I love it when people hear cowabunga and they’re like “Ninja Turtles reference!” lol

[@danielcervera8010]

Search up is an underrated movie one of my favorites to this day and my favorites growing up so different showing the view of the character in a documentary!!! Best actors for the main character Cody Shania LeBoeuf, big Z Jeff Bridges, and Reggie Voice actor James woods known for his role as Hades from Disney Hercules. This movie serfs up has awesome characters cast on music and one great plot about surfing!!!!

[@blainke2149]

Graphics looked really really good for 2007!

[@Toko_Saia]

People are finally giving this movie some attention, holy shit

[@mogwiawolf4354]

grew up watching it and love it

[@awakeningcry]

YES!!!! This is easily in my all time top 5 movies. It just leaves me with the biggest smile on my face at the end. THANK YOU! I bought the DVD with the "behind the scenes/making of" documentaries, and the animation technique they used to create the waves, didn't exist before

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!😊😊😊😊

[@marshalljarnagin9370]

Me, showing my friend JV for the first time: I swear he isn't normally like this. 😂 LOL, great intro!

[@NeonJJ_195]

I love how you can just tell how much love and effort went into making this movie. Honestly, it looks better than some of the movies being made today! 😂

[@Fabboi_unl]

Beautiful movie. Beautiful message. Didn't made me cry when I was 12 years old. But it does now, relative consistently.. 😭❤

[@arielscorpion68]

Oh man i really wanted to see someone now react to this video , and behold out of nowhere this guy 👍 huge thumbs up

[@JVsGalacticAdventures]

Thanks!!

[@JayBirdBlu_117]

I Totally Love Surf's Up, as it's my #1 Sony Animation Movie and my #2 Favorite Movie as well! I own the Movie, the Sequel, and the Game [for NDS, PS2, GBA, PSP, and NGC] for Most of my Surf's Up Merch!

[@Mike-ro2cq]

Please go on a Shia LeBeouf run! He has such good movies! I’ll give you a few. He’s one of the best actors of this generation in my personal opinion Fury (star studded cast, brutally beautiful movie) Peanut Butter Falcon (sweet story about growth and trust) Honey Boy (heartbreaking story about Shia’s upbringing where he also plays his own father in the film) Disturbia (funny, entertaining, heartfelt suspense thriller) Eagle Eye (interesting concept and just like Shia’s acting in it) Lawless (based on a true story, also start studded cast and brilliant acting by Shia, Tom Hardy and Guy Pierce)

[@cheesecakeman911]

Disturbia and Holes are 2 really good movies with Shia LaBeouf are in.

[@jermainejohnson1657]

Agreed love both of those movies

[@CaptainCretaceous91]

For more Jeff Bridges movies, I'd like to recommend The Big Lebowski and Tron.

[@HectorGarcia-xj8hp]

13:57 The first time it made my back tingle.

[@meganj2799]

I think the peeing on a sea urchin bite would actually work. It's a native anti-infection treatment

[@KERRYPIKE]

Surfs up is wonderful movie with a lot of fun characters.

[@jermainejohnson1657]

Jv disturbia is definitely Worth a watch I think you and Jane would both like it. It's a Mystery and suspense movie

[@s_m_SL4Y3R]

agreed

[@user-zo4cj8iw5p]

Hey, JV's Galactic Adventures. I love your videos, they are amazing. I hope you're day goes well. Have a great day.

[@hiddenechoes]

My first watch is watching you watch this one! I love how many hidden gems I find through your channel 🎉

[@valerievention]

I am loving this new intro 😂🤜💥

[@hiddenechoes]

Right? So good

[@soccergirl8200]

Intro is 🔥

[@michaellozano7993]

Love

[@RyanNightTalks]

yeah surf's up 2 isn't the same thing it's kind of just a semi-unrelated direct to video sequel, it wasn't special like surf's up, which is a real unexpected hidden gem

[@seivionfisher3422]

Jv you react to Disney wish 2023

[@adblader1514]

love this movie

[@judaychop]

If youre going to watch another Shia Levouf movie it should be Fury. And you should watch Grind, nothing to do with Shia, just a skateboarding roadtrip comedy

[@HectorGarcia-xj8hp]

27:58 In my language Joe said "calamarcito en un palito?"

[@Recogneyez]

"Eagle Eye" is a pretty good movie with shia

[@cjjackson2423]

5:18 Ayyy i got that song in my playlist 😅

[@JiReyAnimation]

There's no sequel in Ba Sing Se.

[@アキコ2003]

I would say its underrated but i dont agree When i was a kid everyone talked about it and i remember having many figurines and toys of the characters

[@chrisyboy139]

Love the new intro

[@moseskabeya]

Can you watch Surf's Up 2: Wavemania.

[@JulianoAJ]

I miss back when Sony Animation movies were good like this...

[@teoalleyne]

I would recommend not watching the sequel its a pretty forgotable movie

[@ARMY_LA-MIGRA]

Can someone tell me the movie title of this scene 39:16 Looks like ben stiller is the main character?

[@ProjectNaturePrds]

Man, I forgot James Woods was in this.

[@lilovebird]

Please watch barbie as the princess and the pauper it's one of my favorite animated movies

[@wolfpack7340]

[@declansprigg799]

[@franciscacuevas6010]
