FOR<br />
THE<br />
BIRDS<br />
JIM CARREY’S<br />
CO-STARS IN MR.<br />
POPPER’S PENGUINS<br />
WERE SILLY,<br />
UNPREDICTABLE AND<br />
DOWNRIGHT COLD—<br />
AND THAT’S WHY HE<br />
LOVED THEM<br />
JIM CARREY has earned a reputation<br />
for being an unpredictable actor,<br />
and he’s brought that manic energy to<br />
countless roles over the course of his<br />
career. But when he took the title role<br />
in Mr. Popper’s Penguins, the comedian<br />
fi nally met his match in the form of his<br />
co-stars: eight gentoo penguins. »<br />
4 OCTOBER <strong>2011</strong> • UNITED.COM<br />
BY DAN SOLOMON
» For director Mark Waters, the choice to<br />
shoot with real penguins, rather than use<br />
computer-generated ones throughout the<br />
entire picture, was an easy one. He loves<br />
animals, and the opportunity to work with<br />
the little guys was one of the things that<br />
a racted him to the project. Not only did it<br />
make visiting Dad on the movie set the most<br />
exciting part of the day for his daughters<br />
(ages 5 and 9), it also gave Waters the chance<br />
to take a step back from directing and play<br />
animal trainer himself.<br />
Play spoke to Waters about watching<br />
Carrey cozy up to the brood, the surprising<br />
difficulty of acquiring antarctic fowl<br />
(you thought they sold them at pet stores,<br />
maybe?) and how the movie infl uenced the<br />
fi nances of one Donald Trump.<br />
Play: Penguins don’t exactly go to<br />
acting school. Were they able to follow<br />
the script?<br />
Waters: Penguins aren’t the stupidest<br />
animals that have ever been in a<br />
movie, but they’re not as smart as<br />
mammals. They’re not dogs or cats.<br />
Even though they’re cute, they’re<br />
birds. So you can train them to do<br />
what a bird can do. They respond to<br />
food very well, though. If you give<br />
them some fi sh at a certain place on<br />
the set, they’ll go back to that spot.<br />
Play: But they weren’t actually<br />
dancing, right?<br />
Waters: Half the shots in the movie<br />
were done with live penguins, and<br />
half the shots were done with CGI.<br />
When they slid down the ramp at<br />
the Guggenheim, for example—we<br />
obviously weren’t given permission<br />
to bring penguins and water into the<br />
Guggenheim. But the stuff at the<br />
6 OCTOBER <strong>2011</strong> • UNITED.COM<br />
apartment and other locations was<br />
shot with actual birds.<br />
Play: Was Carrey squeamish about<br />
the birds, or did he take to them<br />
right away?<br />
Waters: Jim was very open to feeding<br />
them fi sh himself. When he was on<br />
the set, he’d feed them fi sh, and then<br />
they’d naturally gravitate toward him,<br />
expecting that he’d feed them again.<br />
So they always looked like they were<br />
giving him their full a ention.<br />
Play: Sounds fun. But ... maybe<br />
really cold?<br />
Waters: We had fi ve 10-ton air<br />
conditioners cooling the set to about<br />
42 degrees. For Jim, it was ok in the<br />
section of the movie where he’s wearing<br />
a parka, but before that, when he’s<br />
just in a white shirt and still working<br />
with a lot of penguins, he’s wearing<br />
silk long underwear underneath his<br />
clothes. In between takes, he’d throw<br />
on a parka and stand in front of heat<br />
lamps.<br />
Play: Where did you get all<br />
those penguins?<br />
Waters: It’s a very diffi cult process.<br />
You can’t just go to Petco and buy<br />
penguins. In fact, you’re not allowed<br />
to bring any birds from outside North<br />
America into the country. We were<br />
looking at bringing birds in from<br />
Argentina or Antarctica, but the<br />
authorities would have none of that.<br />
We needed North American penguins.<br />
But then, Sea World isn’t going to let<br />
you have their penguins...<br />
Play: And then there’s the matter<br />
of fi nding the right kind of penguin.<br />
Waters: We got lucky, because I<br />
was looking at all these species of<br />
penguins that would be best for the<br />
movie. Emperor penguins—that’s the<br />
kind from March of the Penguins—<br />
are just way too big. They’re like 4 feet<br />
tall and they’re kinda scary. You don’t<br />
want to have a 4-foot kid interacting<br />
with a 4-foot penguin. And then the<br />
li le ones are crazy. They’re wild li le<br />
hyperactive birds who will not stop<br />
for anything, and they’re scared of<br />
humans. So I went to Sea World, and<br />
the gentoo penguins were the ones<br />
who came up to me and were curious<br />
and let me feed them. They were<br />
perfect. And then it turned out that
the BioDome in Montreal was closing<br />
its penguin exhibit, and it was able<br />
to loan us a few gentoos before they<br />
were sent to Hong Kong.<br />
Play: Has your opinion on CGI penguins<br />
changed now that you’ve hung out with<br />
the real deal?<br />
Waters: You can create CGI penguins<br />
that look believable, but there’s something<br />
about the way the penguins<br />
behave—they’re spontaneous and<br />
exuberant and wacky—that makes<br />
them fun and compelling to watch.<br />
So I thought, yeah, let’s shoot the live<br />
penguins and then challenge our<br />
visual eff ects artists to match their<br />
Antarctic glee.<br />
Play: Carrey seems like the sort<br />
of actor who could manage some<br />
Antarctic glee himself.<br />
Waters: As a physical actor, Jim<br />
refl ects things in his body. It’s one of<br />
the things that makes him amazing<br />
to watch. Pu ing him in with the<br />
penguins made for an easy working<br />
relationship. I think he’s like that with<br />
any animal, and the penguins just<br />
kept him on his toes.<br />
Play: Have you been to a zoo since<br />
making the movie?<br />
Waters: Actually, yeah. I was at the<br />
Monterey Bay Aquarium and saw the<br />
penguins there. Those were South<br />
African penguins, though, which are<br />
“ I had an<br />
appreciation<br />
for them<br />
before, but<br />
now I feel<br />
like I’m a<br />
cocktail<br />
party<br />
penguin<br />
expert.”<br />
—DIRECTOR<br />
MARK WATERS<br />
FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS<br />
Mr. Popper’s penguins give Jim<br />
Carrey their full attention<br />
a diff erent breed entirely. I had an<br />
appreciation for penguins before, but<br />
now I feel like I’m a cocktail–party<br />
penguin expert. With my group at the<br />
aquarium, I was pointing out all the<br />
things I knew about penguins to try<br />
to show off .<br />
Play: There’s a subplot in the movie<br />
about Jim Carrey’s character trying<br />
to buy the Tavern on the Green in<br />
Central Park. Is that based on Donald<br />
Trump’s actual eff orts to buy<br />
the restaurant?<br />
Waters: It’s like the chicken and the<br />
egg. We just concocted the story<br />
out of thin air. Popper wants to buy<br />
the Tavern on the Green and build<br />
a tower in its place, but he has this<br />
change of heart and realizes that he<br />
just wants to renovate it and restore<br />
it to its former glory. But in order to<br />
do a joke where Jim Carrey comes<br />
downstairs and says, “Hey, I got a<br />
reservation at Jean-Georges, which<br />
is impossible to get—unless you’re<br />
dating The Donald, which I’m not<br />
willing to do,” we had to give the script<br />
to Trump and get his permission to<br />
use the reference. At fi rst he didn’t<br />
want to approve it, but Jim read it for<br />
him personally. At that point, Trump<br />
said, “Ok, I like the joke, you can do it.”<br />
A week later, we read in the New York<br />
Post that Donald Trump was a empting<br />
to reopen Tavern on the Green. I<br />
like to believe we inspired him.<br />
Play: Do you ever miss the penguins<br />
now that they’re in Hong Kong?<br />
Waters: By the end of the shoot, I<br />
was happy to say goodbye to them<br />
and send them along on their journey.<br />
It certainly was fun having them<br />
on set, especially because we’d get<br />
more (and more entertaining) set<br />
visits, but I’m happy that they’re<br />
comfortable in their new home.<br />
Play: It’s not so hard to make people<br />
fall in love with penguins, I take it?<br />
Waters: Penguins are inherently<br />
lovable. If people don’t like penguins, I<br />
don’t really trust them.<br />

upbringing, divorce and stints in rehab, Wishful Drinking has captivated audiences<br />
with sharp wit and unfailing candor.<br />
During the early part of the Great<br />
Depression, the circus world that Jacob,<br />
now 90, remembers was both his salvation<br />
and a living hell. It was there that he met<br />
Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star<br />
married to August, the charismatic but<br />
twisted animal trainer.<br />
