Storyline
Tom Popper grew up having very little interaction with his father who was off exploring the world. When he grows up he spends most of time on his work and ignores his children. One day his father sends him an unusual gift: a penguin. Popper can't help but wonder why his father would send him a penguin. He tries to get rid of it, but accidentally orders five more. When his children and ex-wife show up to celebrate his son's birthday, the kids are taken with the penguins. And Popper finally gets to connect with his kids while his work suffers.

Trivia
- The penguin named Captain (with the heart-shaped black feathers on her frontage) was called Captain Cook in the film's source book, named after the famous explorer. Captain is the head penguin.
- The penguin Lovey (with the black pockmark on the left side of his chest) is so called because he cuddles a lot.
- The penguin Bitey (with a white stripe down the middle of her head) is named such because she nips and bites.
- The penguin Stinky (with white tail feathers) is so called because of his flatulence.
- The penguin Loudy (with the jagged white patterns around her eyes) is so named as he is the noisiest of the birds.
- The penguin Nimrod was so named as he is the most accident-prone penguin of the pack.

Mr Poppers Penguins is a fairly good heartwarming family film,although I would say I would have been very bored with the film if it weren't for Jim Carrey as Mr Popper and the humor able penguins all with a funny personality (especially Nimrod).
After his father passes away,Mr Popper gets sent six penguins from him in the Antartic,One named Captain,Nimrod,Stinky,Lovey,Loudey and Bitey,which makes the man life a lot more diffucult,with his job and having to keep to penguins in his house without anyone around his apartment area finding out because it is illegal,although he starts to feel love for the penguins especially when it makes his son and his daughter like him a lot more.
