Mr. Popper’s Penguins DVD and Ice Cube Tray Giveaway! (US+CAN)

By Heather

Film Synopsis:
Just in time for the holidays, enjoy Jim Carrey (A Christmas Carol) in MR. POPPER’S PENGUINS, on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.  The whole family will be full of laughs watching Mr. Popper, a driven businessman who is clueless when it comes to the important things in life until he inherits six, “adorable” and mischievous penguins.

As Mr. Popper quickly gets acquainted with – and increasingly attached to – his winged roommates, his  life quickly unravels: the deal he’s long been working on with a formidable socialiate, Mrs. Van Gundy, played by the acclaimed Angela Lansbury (Murder She Wrote, Beauty and the Beast),  is derailed and Popper almost lands in jail.  While Popper’s penguins turn his swank New York apartment into a snowy winter wonderland – they teach him valuable lessons about family- human and otherwise!

MR. POPPER’S PENGUINS is based on a novel, originally published in 1938, written by the husband and wife team of Richard and Florence Atwater.  Awarded the Newbery Medal in 1939, Mr. Popper’s Penguins became a classic through generations, and is a staple on elementary school shelves to this day.  The Blu-ray and DVD bonus feature “The Legacy of Mr. Popper’s Penguins” highlights literary experts and family of Richard and Florence  Atwater telling the fascinating story behind the story..

From the director of Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, and the producer of Gulliver’s Travels and the Garfield franchise, MR. POPPER’S PENGUINS will be available on December 6, 2011 on Blu-ray, DVD, digital download and a limited edition MR. POPPER’S PENGUINS gift pack that includes the DVD and TY Beanie Plush Penguin – perfect gift for the holiday!  The Blu-ray and DVD also feature a never-before-seen animated short, “Nimrod & Stinky’s Antartic Adventure,” in which Zookeeper Nat Jones flies to the antarctic determined to get Popper’s Penguins back.  The penguins, led by Nimrod and Stinky, outsmart him once again. We just recently had the opportunity to sit down and watch Mr. Popper’s Penguins.

Our thoughts:
The film started out really slow, and Emma lost attention rather quickly.  She did like glancing at the penguins every now and then, but she wasn’t willing to sit down and watch.  But she’s only three.  I would recommend this movie to a family with older kids.  It is a really cute movie overall with valuable lessons, and it reminded me of a few other Jim Carrey films, Bruce Almighty and Liar Liar.

GIVEAWAY!

Not only will the lucky winner receive the DVD, but this adorable Penguin Ice Cube Tray! (12/30)
