Surf's Up! Working

Synopsis

Animated comedy about surfing penguins, told as if shot as a documentary. Young Cody Maverick leaves his home town of Shiverpool, Antarctica, to enter the surfing contest inspired by his idol, the legendary, and late, Big Z. When Cody is injured in a surfing incident, lifeguard Lani takes him to Geek, a recluse living in the jungle, for a cure. Cody learns that Geek is in fact Big Z, who turned his back on the world in shame at once having lost to his rival, Tank Evans. Cody urges Z to train him for the contest and to face the world again. Cody and Z team up and learn that an obsession with winning is for losers.
