"Surf's Up" and more surfing


"Surf's Up" was way better than I expected. I figured it would be all right, and heard good things, but I have to say, it was extremely well executed. It's not the kind of movie that will change the world (or even, for that matter, movie-making) but so often a good idea gets overdone or otherwise destroyed. Here, helped by the very sincere voices of Shia LeBeouf (the emerging superstar of 2007), Zooey Deschanel and Jeff Bridges, Sony Animation made a movie that blew Meet The Robinsons (and a lot of non-Pixar Disney) out of the water, as it were.

The boys posed with the lead penguin, Cody, after the show.

Earlier in the day, while we were shopping at the semi-evil, sometimes boycotted megastore that shall not be named, we took advantage of some kind of soda pop promotion and the boys "surfed" in an inflatable ocean brought to us by Fanta or Powerade or both.
