* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Although they were never explicitly identified as such, the illustrations in the original book suggest the penguins in the story are Adélie penguins. In the film though, they are played by gentoos and referred to as such. This quite possibly because gentoo penguins, due to coming from less extreme climates than the closely related Adelies, are much more common in captivity and thus easier to obtain for the film.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: In France, the movie was released under the title ''Monsieur Popper et ses pingouins'', a mistranslation of the original title. In French, "pingouin" means an auk, while a penguin means a "manchot." Averted in Quebec, where it was released under the title ''Monsieur Popper et ses manchots''.
