Surf's Up - Cody finds Big Z

All this time, he's been alive in secret, but why?

[galacticknight]

This is one of the most underrated animated movies of all time. I blame Happy Feet, which came out the same year.

[TheOwlmanRampages]

This scene was probably my favorite one in the whole movie aside from the ending.

The music that plays as Geek is revealed as Big Z. Cody’s commentary along with Z going through his old stuff and the letters from his fans legit made me tear up. Then the added comedic effect of Cody fanboying in contrast with what he says during the interview just makes it better lol

This was my ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE AS A KID got it on dvd and saw it in theaters

[kingcreedo]

Look at him.

The pain. The memories. The

He loves surfing that much. That leaving

[El_Omar]

Man, that scene with Zeke just, looking at the past he left behind, that face in that pudgy penguin is very effective, you can pretty much feel his broken heart.

When you walk back into an hobby that you loved... But life, work, bills, kids ects, took the time away from you and the hobby with it... And then you pick it up and remember how happy it made you... 1:19

I saw this movie as a kid, here we are 2024, and I still think about this scene often... In the relation that I wrote this out in

When big Z looks at his boards I felt that I haven't touched my board for a while I sure miss it but I'm to busy with work and some other shit. We are all Big Z in some type of way.

It reminds me of cars when, lightning McQueen finds out doc Hudson was a car racer.

[AutobotAvengerXL]

If there was a Surf’s Up and Rio crossover, I bet Cody and Blu could make awesome friends.

[BobPantsSpongeSquare]

I saw this movie when it first came out and went years without ever seeing it again. Last year I finally decided to rewatch it and was blown away by how good it was. If feels even more relevant today where we live in the "get that bag 💰" era and where a lot of people want to become big and famous. It's good to see a kid's film have the message of do what your passionate about and makes you happy. It's fine to have some competition and motivation but like that doesn't have to apply to everything

[zebu]

Just kind of stood there quietly
....
You're Big Z!!

Sam Witwicky was able to make a documentary with his crew about surfing

1:10 every time I hear this soundtrack I think of the football coach who passed away, who made me grow
