Steven Spielberg's dream team finally comes through with this outing. A feisty talking parrot named Paulie (Mohr's voice) flies the coop to find his long-lost former owner, Marie, a young girl (Eisenberg) whom Paulie cured of stuttering. Along the way, Paulie encounters a pawn shop proprietor (Hackett), a widow (Rowlands), a burrito stand owner (Marin) and a cat burglar (Mohr). An imaginative story and delightful performances (both bird and human) make Paulie welcome entertainment for kids and parents.
