Paulie

Directed by John Roberts, this 1998 family adventure-comedy is narrated by a talking parrot who recounts his long, winding journey in search of the owner he was separated from years earlier.

Warm and accessible, it aims at younger viewers and families while offering bittersweet emotional notes for older audiences. Its easygoing charm and road-trip structure keep the tone light.
