Mr Popper's penguin Trailer Analysis

Propps theory of narrative

In film productions they usually use these types of characters in the films, a "hero" someone who is there to save someone or make something better.
They also use a "villein" in films this character is usually someone who is fighting the hero this can be seen in different ways with an actual fight or a verbal fight consisting of stealing etc, villeins are important in films because they will be very boring and will be lacking a lot of features of a decent film.

There is always a villein in a film without a villein the film will usually be boring, the villein in Mr Poppers penguins we think is the penguins because they are acting like a disturbance, but later into the trailer the villein is the zoo keepers who are trying to take the penguins into the zoo.

The donor in Mr Poppers penguins is Tom Popper (Jim Carrey) father, we know this because Tom Popper receives a box with penguins, the penguins also act like helpers to Mr Popper in the trailer.
The helper in the film will be Mr Poppers dad this is because he is the one who gave Tom Popper penguins.
