Mr Popper's Penguins

Carrey ignored the old adage 'Never work with children or animals' when accepting the role in the 2011 family comedy. He plays the titular real estate developer, whose life is turned upside down when he inherits a feathered friend as a final gift from his father - with five more soon joining him. The film used a mix or real and animatronic birds, and the actor admitted they were one of the big draws of him taking on the project.
