Plot section

What in the world?!? The story given in this article is actually the book's plot, not the movie's. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I know it changes Mr. Popper to a real-estate developer and has him receiving his first penguin from his deceased father. Will someone who's seen the movie please edit the "plot" section to make it line up with the movie? Thank youLeo-Isaurus-Rex (talk) 20:32, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have just returned from watching this movie and I've written a summary to the best of my memory. It may not be complete but it resembles the movie's plot much more closely than what was previously written. The original summary had me quite confused when I read it as it is nothing like the movie. 208.103.230.104 (talk) 01:07, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Plot completely wrong

The plot of the movie is almost nothing like that of the book. The only similarities are penguins are central to both stories, the family name is the same, the lead penguin's name is the same and the first penguin is a gift. If I have time tomorrow I will rewrite the plot section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grover714 (talk • contribs) 07:14, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Production

Need to write up how in the world do you get 6 penguins to cooperate in the production of the film. Making a film with animals is difficult, I can't even imagine getting penguins to cooperate. 182.172.239.4 (talk) 19:53, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you say "computer graphics"? See http://www.fxguide.com/featured/populating-mr-poppers-penguins/ Paulburnett (talk) 15:08, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I came here to find if the penguins were real or CGI or robotic, disappointed to see nothing on the main page about it - have fixed with a reference to the above link --Mortice (talk) 20:06, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Plot?

The plot section begins with "Thirty years later...". Thirty years after... what? - thewolfchild 07:02, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
