SURF'S UP (2007) - June 8, 2007
A surprisingly enjoyable cartoon, done in faux-documentary style, about a young penguin who dreams of making it big as a surfer. Considering how bad this looked, this was a very pleasant surprise. The voice-work was quite good, it was nicely animated, and though it's clearly a kid's movie, it didn't feel juvenile (like, say, Shrek 3). The whole fake documentary thing also worked very well. This wasn't exactly a Pixar-level classic (the gold standard for CGI cartoons) but it was entertaining and fun. ***
