Wiki.
Paulie is a 1998 American adventure comedy-drama film directed by John Roberts and written by Laurie Craig. The film is about a wisecracking and disobedient talking parrot named Paulie, who has been locked in a cage in a basement. He shares his adventurous story to the janitor. It stars Tony Shalhoub, Cheech Marin, Gena Rowlands and Jay Mohr, the latter who performs both the voice of the title character and the on-screen supporting role of Benny, a character who has a lot of dialogue with him.
It received mixed to positive reviews and was a box office disappointment, grossing $26.9 million domestically against a $23 million budget. However, in the years after its release, Paulie would find a larger audience on home media sales. The film marked Buddy Hackett's last feature film appearance before his death in 2003.
