We were invited to a special screening of the movieย Surf’s Up 2: Wavemaniaย at Sony headquarters in London as they were celebrating the latest release of the movie on DVD. We love going to special screenings so we were all very excited to attend this event.
We were all really looking forward to watching this movie. Our journey was pretty quick as we travelled on the tube and as the event was on a Sunday morning, there were no delays and it wasn’t busy at all! I love travelling when the tube is empty, especially when you are travelling with an active 2 year old, LOL!
As soon as we arrived at Sony, we were greeted and taken downstairs. They had a big Surf’s Up movie poster so I took the opportunity to snap a few photosย of the girls. They were wearing their beautiful MyTwirlย dresses and they looked so adorable in them!ย We were then taken to a room where there was a table full of pastries, croissants, muffins and drinks! It was all delicious and was the perfect Sunday morning breakfast!
After the yummy breakfast, we went to the screening theatre where we were going to watch the movie. We hadn’t actually seen the first Surf’s Up movie and we were a bit worried that we wouldn’t understand this new one,ย but this didn’t actually matter as it is very much its own story, so that was great!
Synopsis:
Cody Maverick, hungry for a new challenge, convinces an infamous big wave riding crew known as The Hang 5, voiced by WWE Superstars John Cena, Undertaker, Triple H, Paige and Mr. McMahon to let him join them on their journey to a mysterious surf spot known as The Trenches, where legend has it, they’ll find the biggest waves in the world. Cody soon discovers that the life he left behind might be more heroic than what any death-defying wave has to offer.ย
Directed by Henry Yu, SURFโS UP 2: WAVEMANIA is based on a screenplay by Abdul Williams. The film is a co-financed production between Sony Pictures Animation and WWE Studios, and is produced by Michelle L.M. Wong and executive produced by Michael Luisi.
The movie was really fun. Bella really liked it a lot! All the characters were very cool and fun to watch. Sienna, however, didn’t last too long and didn’t finish the movie. She only watched the first hour and then wanted to walk around. Nick took her outside until the movie was finished. Apparently, she had fun doing some face painting in this moment! She was so happy! Bless her!
When the movie finished, Bella and I went to find daddy and Sienna. They had a crafts table, a surf simulator and a table laid out with more delicious food and drink. We were ready for lunch!
We had to take Bella back home because she was not feeling very well ๐
Unfortunately at this moment Bella told me that she was feeling ill and that she wanted to go home. She was shivering and when I touched her forehead I realised that she had a fever. ย She had no appetite either. I gave her water and tried to sit down with her but she wasn’t feeling great at all so unfortunately, we had to leave. We called an Uber and went straight back home.
Because of that, we couldn’t enjoy the rest of the activities but it was a fun morning anyway. It was just a shame we had to rush back home.
Surf”s Up 2 โ Wavemaniaย is so much fun and if your little ones are WWE fans, it will be perfect for them (and if they are not it won’t matter either). This movie is nowย available to buy on DVD. It has a lot of special features and includes a blooper reel. Check the link from Amazon below for more details.
Have you watched this movie? What about the first movie: Surf’s Up? Do your kids like this type of movie? Are your kids WWE fans?

Poor Bella. Glad she is better.

Aw hope little Bella is feeling better now! Looks like they were having a good time in the morning ๐
#KCACOLS
Again looks super cool! #KCACOLS
Looks like you all had so much fun! Like the look of that buffet.
#KCACOLS
Aww sorry Bella was poorly, hope she’s feeling better now. We’ve not seen Surfs Up before so will have to give it a try. The screening sounds like lots of fun xx #kcacols
A kids film that has passed me by a miracle! I’ll have to watch out for Surfs Up for my 2. Looks like you had fun. #kcacols lifeinthemumslane
It’s been a while but I really enjoyed the first Surf’s Up film so am looking forward to seeing this new one. Sorry Bella got ill – hope she’s feeling better now. #kcacols
I think my little one may be a bit young for the movie yet and would have to escape like Sienna, but definitely a series to revisit when he’s has a little more patience! The surf simulator sounds awesome!
Such a shame you had to leave early, hope Bella recovered quickly? #KCACOLS
My kids (and I) love WWE so we will watch this at some point. What lovely food they put on for you. I hope Bella is feeling better now x
#KCACOLS
The film sounds great and they really tried hard to entertain all the kids!
Hope poor Bella felt better quickly x #kcacols
We haven’t seen the first yet ๐ Looks like you all had a fun but tiring time #kcacols
Ah, I hope Bella is feeling better now. Pen x #KCACOLS
I haven’t seen the first yet! Hope little one is better #KCACOLS
Having seen the first one I wouldn’t mind watching the sequel. Penguins are great and so versatile as they play both baddies and goodies. Sorry to read that Bella was ill and hope she made a speedy recovery. #KCACOLS
Looks so much fun, love the face paints! I haven’t seen surfs up before but I do love these animated films ๐ #kcacols
Looks like another amazing day out for the family and this film sounds good. I haven’t seen the Surfs up but I’ll look out for this one as I love a good trip to the cinema with the kids more than they do! #kcacols
Love the surf’s up films. Always make me feel like I want to go on holiday! #KCACOLS
Sorry to read that Bella became ill, I hope she recovered quickly. I’ve heard of the first one but haven’t seen it. I think Clem would enjoy them so I will check both of them out. #kcacols
Sounds like a lovely morning, such a shame Bella wasn’t very well. I hope she’s back to full health now! #kcacols
Sounds like a cool movie-Will watch out for it. Sorry that Bella was poorly and you missed out on some of the fun ๐ #KCACOLS
That looks like a fab film! And you girls look gorgeous! A shame Bella was not feeling good! Hope she got better quickly! #KCACOLS
Hope the little one feels better. My daughter loves some Surf’s Up books that we have, but was uninterested in the movie. Haven’t seen it in a while, maybe we’ll throw it back in one of these days #KCACOLS
Ah what a shame you had to leave early, I hope she is feeling better. These things always happen when you are out at an event. Sounds like it was lots of fun and the movie sounds fab! x #KCACOLS
