"Jeff Bridges told SCI FI Wire that he's been pleasantly surprised by the experience of making Surf's Up, an upcoming animated feature for which he's providing a voice. Co-directed by veteran animators Ash Brannon and Chris Buck, Surf's Up follows the adventures of Cody Maverick (Shia LaBeouf), a penguin and hotshot new surfer who enters the annual Penguin World Surfing Championship."

You know, I've been working on a penguin model since I saw March of the Penguins. Now, when I'm about 90% done, it no longer seems so special. *sigh* :shrug:

a fresh new idea! Give that guy a promotion and a raise. Woo hoo!!!

<nerd on> Actually, technically, it's not a Sony Imageworks movie, it's a Sony Pictures Animation movie. The topic is incorrect. <nerd off>

No way man, Shia is good! He is the definition of a rising star. Went from a small tv show on disney, which rocked (good time...) to doing small roles in a few movies, and now he's starring in a new film, and now he's doing this. Good for him. If all you've seen him in is Constantine or I-Robot, you can't really judge him as an actor, not much there to look at.

There was a thing with bugs when A Bug's Life and Antz came out, fish when Finding Nemo and Sharktale came out, and now penguins! (Also New York zoo animals)

Great poster, I'm actually kind of excited about this now. What with Happy feet and all, I guess someone's 'pulling a dreamworks'.

ya shia rocks.. watch "The Greatest Game Ever Played" and you will see some of his talent, but if you really want to be blown away, there is another movie I seen awhile back where he played a mentally challenged child and I was just dumbstruck by his incredible performance.
