Paulie is the pet parrot of Marie, a little girl who stutters. Thanks to Paulie, her speech improves but no one believes Marie that her parrot can converse with humans, so they are separated. For years afterward Paulie keeps searching for Marie, never giving up hope that he will find her. Winner, BAFTA Best Children’s Feature Film.
