Join
Cody an his friends as they join the legendary Hang Five Team as they
search for the ultimate wave and run into WWE people (who apparently
love surfing too) in Surf's Up 2: WaveMania (2017). It's a
big chance for Cody to prove to his idols that he has what it takes
to join the team, but he's not alone as turns out he, his friends
Chicken Joe, Lani and even his nemesis Tank are all nominees for a
spot on the Hang Five team.
Cody
has always dreamed of hitting it big time and join the Hang Five
team. He has the moves, he has the guts, but is it enough to prove
he's what it takes? The Hang Five team heads to the mysterious
Slaughter Island to search for the ultimate wave to ride. They'll
surf water, sand or even lava. As Cody competes however, he learns
there is no "I" on a team and he'll have to decide what is
more important to him, his fame or his friends?
This
was a funny surf movie with 'cute' buffed out penguins, voiced by WWE
Superstars, including John Cena, the Undertaker, Triple H, Paige and
even Mr. McMahon. It's is about looking cool, having fun, being safe
and the importance of the team.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image and lossy Dolby Digital 5.1
mix are as fine as they could possibly be for the format, looking and
sounding real good. Why no Blu-ray? Hmm. Extras include Bloopers,
Behind the Mic: Hanging with the Dream Team, Chicken Joe's
Extreme Slaughter Island Tour, How to Draw Your Favorite
Characters with Henry Yu, Inside the Music with Toby Chu
and trailers. A series of special gift versions with action figures
of various WWE stars have also been issued with this disc.
