Paulie is a 1998 American family film about a talking parrot named "Paulie". It was directed by John Roberts and written by Laurie Craig, and it was produced by Mark Gordon, Gary Levinsohn, and Allyson Lyon Segan for Mutual Film Company and DreamWorks. The movie stars Jay Mohr as Paulie's voice and Tony Shalhoub as a janitor (caretaker) who finds him imprisoned in a biological research laboratory, along with Gena Rowlands, Cheech Marin, Bruce Davison, and Trini Alvarado. It also features Buddy Hackett in his final film role, and Mohr also plays a minor on-screen character.
The film was released on VHS in 1998 by DreamWorks Home Entertainment.
Misha Belenkoff (Tony Shalhoub) is a Russian immigrant, who was a former literature teacher in Russia, and he is living in America and working as a janitor (caretaker) at an animal-testing lab in California. One day, he cleans up the cages and he encounters Paulie (Jay Mohr), a blue-crowned conure who astonishingly speaks to him in perfect English. But Paulie doesn't talk when Misha brings witnesses.

Genres: War,In the wintercold I see the blood
clotting slowly in the snow
Unsung heroes cry in the night
may they die before dawn
Broken banners mourn fallen crowns
grieving swords lay all around
As the swansong touches the mountainside
unseeing eyes look at you
Can't you hear it
hear the sorrows vail
Oh, can't you see it
the newborn day
Impaled hearts welcome the end of pain
black blood releasing warrior souls
Vultures circle 'round the fields of grief
another graveyard, another tale
Can't you hear it
hear the sorrows vail
Oh, can't you see it
the newborn day
