    Columbia Records will release Surf's Up (Music From The Motion Picture), the soundtrack album from the animated film, "Surf's Up," on Tuesday, June 5.
     
    "Surf's Up," the highly anticipated animated comedy from Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation, opens nationwide on Friday, June 8.
     
    Surf's Up (Music From The Motion Picture) premieres several brand-new songs, including "Lose Myself," from the multi-platinum and Grammy-winning recording artist Ms. Lauryn Hill, as well as new tracks from 311, Sugar Ray, Ken Andrews, Nine Black Alps, and Big Nose (featuring Jonny Polonsky and members of Rage Against The Machine).
     
    "We are thrilled to be a part of the return of Ms. Lauryn Hill!," exclaimed Liza Richardson, an avid surfer, DJ, and music supervisor for "Surf's Up." "Apparently, she related to Big Z's story -- reaching the top, checking out for a while, doing some soul searching and re-emerging with joy -- and wrote and recorded a real celebratory summer jam session for 'Surf' Up.'  We're glad to have Lauryn back where she belongs!"
     
    "Surf's Up" is an animated action-comedy that delves behind the scenes of the high-octane world of competitive surfing. The film profiles teenage Rockhopper penguin Cody Maverick (Shia LaBeouf), an up-and-coming surfer, as he enters his first pro competition. Followed by a camera crew to document his experiences, Cody leaves his family and home in Shiverpool, Antarctica to travel to Pen Gu Island for the Big Z Memorial Surf Off. Along the way, Cody meets Sheboygan surfer Chicken Joe (Jon Heder), famous surf promoter Reggie Belafonte (James Woods), surf talent scout Mikey Abromowitz (Mario Cantone), and spirited lifeguard Lani Aliikai (Zooey Deschanel), all of whom recognize Cody's passion for surfing, even if it's a bit misguided at times. Cody believes that winning will bring him the admiration and respect he desires, but when he unexpectedly comes face-to-face with a washed-up old surfer (Jeff Bridges), Cody begins to find his own way, and discovers that a true winner isn't always the one who comes in first.
