make me wish my own happy bird could talk . tisk tisk on the reviewer who diss the movie . a sweet story that people of all age will enjoy . paulie be a lovable little treasure . he have quite a few clever line that truly make me laugh . i especially love the dance sequence during his showbiz stint . you can forgive the obvious clichés a you cheer him on in his quest to be reunite with marie . a charming movie feature two strong character who genuinely befriend the little parrot separate from his young owner . would have like to have see more of the woman who become blind and must abandon their mutual journey . i like her artistic and poetic inspiration and a shame she could not share paulie reunion . bless paulie in his new home and at last with marie and perhaps join by the nice young man who help him defeat the antagonist to complete his journey .
