Jim Carrey is going back to his comedic roots in the upcoming film Mr. Popper's Penguins based on the Newbery-winning children's book.

In the film, Carrey spends most of his screen time opposite the adorable black and white birds ... some of which are CGI. Mr. Popper's Penguins is about a businessman whose "professional side starts to unravel after he inherits six penguins."

The gorgeous Carla Gugino and Angela Lansbury also star in the flick. Find out when the movie hits theaters ... after the jump.
