When he was not quietly terrifying Emma Stone over the internet this year saw Mr. Jim Carrey make a film about a man and a band of errant penguins, and as the film is out on DVD and Blu-ray this week we thought we’d celebrate with a clip culled from the film, positing that it might be just the thing for the cold winter nights.

Mean girls director Mark Waters directs both man and bird here and the human cast has Carla Gugino, Madeline Carroll and the legendary Angela Lansbury. See, you’re interested now aren’t you?

Before the clip please apply the following synopsis to your synapses.

An adaptation of the beloved 1938 children’s book, which won the 1939 Newbery Award. Mr. Popper is a house painter whose dreams of Arctic exploration prompt him to write letters to real explorers. One of them sends him a penguin, which he keeps in the icebox. Before he knows it, the painter has a litter of 12 beaked birds. They eat voraciously, leading him to form Popper’s Performing Penguins.
