Surf's Up 2: Wavemania (2017)

Yes, I kid you not, 2007's Surf's Up got the greenlight for a sequel...as a vehicle for WWE performers. Amongst the voice talents will be John Cena Triple H, Paige, Vince Mc Mahon and The Undertaker

...wow, whoever's running SPA must have gotten pretty desperate nowadays.

Making a animation vehicle for WWE superstars is one thing; but their decision to accomplishing that is by digging up an obviously self-contained film released almost a decade ago and churning out a DTV sequel to it?

I really don't see SPA's situation at all unless they change the people up top. It still looks like Sony's film studios as a whole are being managed by people who are completely out of touch.

To paraphrase someone's words when he was regarding an equally incompetant company...

"Sorry we had to cancel Genndy Tartakovsky's Popeye, but we kinda lost our interest in it around the same time we lost our fucking miiiiiiiiiiinds! Here, have a DTV sequel that no one asked for that's crammed with WWE guys! We like DTV sequels nobody asked for because it's nice to still get money without making any fucking effort. Also, fuck off Lauren Faust, you're too creative for our liking! We'd much rather stick our feet up our ass and bounce down the stairs making burbling noises with our lips, bplrrrrrrrr!"

What the fuck is going on here

This is weird. Why surfs up, why DTV, why WWE?

The novelty of John Cena or Tripke H being a penguin might wear off its welcome in five minutes tops. The Undertaker might still be funny for the entire movie, though.

Hollywood, you disgust me.

I was rather enthusiastic reading the title because the first one was way more entertaining that I expected. Then the description came out.

There is already Rule 34 of Paige the Penguin.

Well, er, this came out of nowhere. They bring Surf's Up out of the fault to fuse it with the WWE?

At this point we may as well have a Cars crossover with WWE with car versions of JOHN CENA and friends.

It shouldn't be much of a surprise. Elsewhere I saw people admitting that Penguin!Paige was making them feel funny.

And just look at the guys up there for that matter, especially Otter!McMahon. Surf's Up is probably going to suddenly gain a notable Furry Fandom, if you ask me.

I liked the first movie - you don't see many animated films in that sort of Mockumentary style. Actually, you don't see that many movies in that style, period.

Still...a sequel? Nearly a decade after the first movie? With WWE stars?

...Why?

Why a fucking crossover with The Flintstones and Scooby Doo? (Ok Scooby has a little give there, with the novelty of the new Scooby Doo movies) But THIS?! And Jingle All The Way 2?! I knew wrestling was fake, but not animated!

Wrestling has always been incredibly animated.

WWE's film ventures are weird. This company's attempts to make movies never make anything better than bargain bin, direct-to-video hot tripe.

The animated ones are a pain to ponder on, but Scooby-doo and Flinstones are so old, and have crossed over with so many things so many other times that you can sort of wrap your head around it.

A WWE/Surf's Up crossover just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. It's not big enough a franchise for this kind of shameless crossover to be a real moneymaker.
