The voice acting and animation was fine for DVD fare and everything. If they were going to bother giving this a sequel they probably should have ended it with Cody actually GETTING his dream of being a famous surfer since he apparently gave it up after the first movie to help a friend who then stole his dream because he was a nice guy. There was a joke here and there that was mildly amusing but it wasn't worth the 90 minutes you were watching it knowing what was going to happen. I could see the resolution of this movie coming a mile away and it wasn't even entertaining. This movie tells you that even if you're really good and passionate about what you do, ignore all that and don't follow your dream. Some movies tell you to go after your dream. Then this movie turns into one of those 'It's okay to shoot for your dreams but when your dream is in front of you, don't take it because your dream is really to not fulfill your dream' morals. So basically we're five minutes in and its telling us that if you do the right thing you're going to miss out on being famous and loved for what you're good at. If you do the right thing, you will feel better inside, but you will lose your dream. So, first note this movie is trying to tell you. Since the previous movie we learned that since the main guy gave up winning to help his buddy, instead of being showered with praise and gotten the good ending regardless like they did in Cars, instead, Chicken Joe has all the fame and the main character gets jack and squat. They kind of just.ignore that and replace it with this group called The Hang 5. So that whole part of the main penguin's backstory about Big Z being his inspiration? Yeah. And they don't even really mention him ever. First off, if you're expecting Big Z, you know, that guy who was kind of important to the previous movie, he's not there. However, I have to say, this movie has no business existing. Some of my favorite movies are 'All Dogs Go to Heaven 2' and 'Fievel 3'. I'm not one of those people that believe that they shouldn't exist. I myself am a big fan of animated sequels. Why? Once again I don't know, but you know that there had to have been several meetings to discuss it. Then they felt that not only should they do it, but they should also get high profile wrestlers to be in it. The first time I heard this movie existed I thought to myself somebody had to have sat around a company boardroom and went, 'Know what needs a sequel? That surfing penguin movie that came out 10 years ago.' And then for some reason everyone at that table agreed.
