    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Animal stunt coordinator Boone Narr arranged seven separate bird casting calls, involving over 38 species. Blue-crown Conure parrots were deemed best, and fourteen of them were used in the production, different birds with different personalities fitting into different scenes. For scenes that were too dangerous for the live parrots, or needed complex facial expressions in close-ups, an animatronic Paulie created at the Stan Winston Studio was used.
    • Goofs
      When Marie and her mother are hugging each other after Marie says, "Cup" while struggling, you can see that Paulie pooped on the table.
    • Quotes

      Paulie: There are things in life you put off, because you think you're gonna do them later. But the real thing Ivy taught me is you gotta live like there may not be a later.

    Broke my heart, tickled my funnybone.
    I gladly admit it, I own a copy of this movie. My 3 year old daughter and I watch it frequently. We also enjoy the "Marie" Pepsi commercials, as a result of this movie. But I almost didn't buy it, because I was afraid it would break my heart. I raised a parrot that looked a lot like Paulie, and I could never bring myself to see the movie because I missed my bird so much. Sure enough, when I saw it the first time, I cried all the way through, because I loved Paulie's heart. And I laughed so hard through my tears that I couldn't remember if I was laughing or crying. I found myself singing along with the birds at the taco stand, and I knew I had to see it again. And again. So I bought the movie, and got my little girl hooked. Sure, I still cry at some of the really sad parts, but I laugh more than ever, and I'm brushing up my Spanish at the same time! If you've ever loved an animal or a child, see this movie.
