In the wake of MARCH OF THE PENGUINS and HAPPY FEET, this little 3D animated film got lost...and so did the score. I got a little "happy feet" myself, when I got news that BSX Records will be releasing MYCHAEL DANNA's intriguing score for SURF'S UP! Below is the official press release. Check out the site to listen to 3 soundclips!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SURF’S UP – ORIGINAL OCEAN PICTURE SOUNDTRACK -
FEATURING MUSIC COMPOSED BY MYCHAEL DANNA - TO BE RELEASED ON BSX RECORDS.
Surf’s Up. A Major Ocean Picture.
(January 29th, 2008, Los Angeles, CA)
BUYSOUNDTRAX Records will be releasing SURF’S UP. The soundtrack features music composed by Mychael Danna (THE ICE STORM, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, CAPOTE) for the 2007 CGI animated film written and directed by Ash Brannon (TOY STORY 2) and Chris Buck (Walt Disney’s TARZAN), along with Christopher Jenkins, featuring the voice talents of Shia LeBeouf, Jeff Bridges, Zooey Deschanel, Jon Heder and James Woods.
Shot in a mock documentary style, SURF’S UP tells the story of Cody Maverick (LeBeouf), a penguin with a passion for surfing. Followed by a camera crew, Cody and his friend, Chicken Joe (Heder), hitch a ride to Pen Gu Island so Cody can enter the Big Z Memorial Surf Off. Cody is determined to win the Surf Off for Big Z (Bridges), one of the greatest legends of penguin surfing. Along the way to the Surf Off, Cody makes new friends and discovers that a true winner is not always the one who comes in First.
Mychael Danna studied music composition at the University Of Toronto, winning the Glenn Gould Composition Scholarship in 1985. He is recognized as one of the most versatile and original voices in film music. Danna has worked with such acclaimed directors as Atom Egoyan, Catherine Hardwicke, Scott Hicks, Ang Lee, Gillies MacKinnon, James Mangold, Bennett Miller, Mira Nair, Billy Ray, Joel Schumacher, and Denzel Washington on films such as EXOTICA, THE ICE STORM, THE SWEET HEREAFTER, RIDE WITH THE DEVIL, MONSOON WEDDING, ARARAT, CAPOTE, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, THE NATIVITY STORY and, most recently, FRACTURE and SURF’S UP.
SURF’S UP is a limited edition release of 1000 units.
