My second fav movie is happy feet, and I have seen a lot of simalarites between the two.
For one thing, there's a nod to happy feet at the start of surf's up (you know what i'm talking about)
And another thing, in my POV, they are both stories about an outcast who dreams big, and does not fit in with his colony.(but cody is a cooler outcast than mumble, and that's why I like cody so much, I mean, how can you not love him? His own last name means someone who's different!)
Any other simalarties you found in the story?

Well, I haven't watched Happy Feet yet, I really want to, but I never got the time to go and buy the DVD... Maybe I'll download the movie from somewhere when I have more free time  Until then, oh well...  |

I LOVE HAPPY FEET! There's been a lot of complaints over at IMDB cause people think Surf's Up is a rip-off towards Happy Feet, but it's not cause their story plots are different but they are both penguin movies. For one thing, you will notice that the big difference is besides being a penguin movie is Chicken Joe is the only animal in the film whose not a penguin while the rest in Happy Feet are.

Okay, I know I have to make a post here to keep the board alive, but I didn't know where, so I decided here XD
Some happy feet characters that can compare to the surf's up characters are:
Cody Maverick=Mumble HappyFeet-
1.Both live in an antartic village populated by many penguins
2. Both are outcasts and considered "different"(Mumble because he can't sing but he can dance, also because he keeps his baby down well through adulthood, Cody because all he wants to do is surf and follow his dream, also because he is quite undersized and looks somewhat different, i.e. Big Z shell, "strange' feather-pattern on chest, crest is more open, etc.)
3.Both have dreams that come true in the end(Mumble finds the source of the fish shortage and gets Gloria, Cody brings back Big Z and becomes a "winner")
Lani=Gloria-
1. Both are very graceful penguins and not very sure about loving their boyfriends
2.Both help out their boyfriends(Gloria defends and believes in Mumble during the movie, and goes after Mumble when he sets out to find the fish, Lani saves Cody when he wipes out, and she convinces Cody to go back and make his board)
Big Z=Lovelace
1. They both teach the main character something, and learn something back(Mumble learns about the ailens from Lovelace, and Lovelace is saved from dying from Mumble, Big Z teaches Cody a thing or two about surfing, and in turn, Cody teaches Big Z as well.)
That's all I can think of for now. XD

i did not see HF, but I know that all the similarities are absolutely casual because both movies were in production during the same time. Sadly, most viewers and even professional critics didn't realize that simple fact. I feel bad when they blame the "another penguin movie".  |

"Another Penguin Movie."
I HATE IT when people say that about Surf's Up!!!!! Even I thought this when Surf's Up first came out, being the penguin lover that I am, but I was proved wrong! Surf's Up became my favorite movie at the time, and Cody became my favorite Animated Outcast(Visit my FanFiction.net page in my sig for more details)
Surf's Up will always be a very special movie in my heart! It is now my second favorite movie(right behind WALL-E)

You know at the beginning interview scene, when C.Buck & A.Brandon ask Cody the question if he has any other interests, and he responds "Like what, like singing and dancing? hahaha! No man, I just surf!", Its a referal to Happy Feet. I never bought the DVD of H.F., but I did watch it in IMAX and I did download it Haven't seen a scene of it since last year....Wow does time fly |

Yes, I caught it! The directors did not lose the sense of humour, even though they knew that their movie would not be successful after this collision. Respect for them!
