Well, I checked out the mockumentary 3D animated film Surf's Up yesterday, and I have to say I was pleasantly suprised! There were tons of great jokes, and it is definetely the best looking 3D film out there at the moment. I initially really wanted to see it because of the appealing design and its visuals, and the unique documentary approach, but turns out the story and characters were great as well. The only downside was now and again they would use some crummy songs, and at times they went away from their 'documentary crew/camera following subject' approach, but in a way that was neccessary. Overall though, two thumbs up from me.
It also has one of the nicest Art Of books out there. Tons of beautiful 2D as well as 3D production art to make any animation fanatic's mouth water. Here is some production art for the film by Armand Serrano, and a beautiful character line-up by 'unknown'. Im seriously considering purchasing the book, but I wouldn't mind the price lowering a bit more before I do so.
Check out the movie and let me know what you thought!!!

I conquer. I thought it wasn't bad at all. I mean after the initial "wtf another penguin movie" I rather enjoyed it.
