About This Program

Paulie is a programme presented in the format of a movie. It belongs to the adventure genre and is intended for a family audience. The title refers to the central character, a talking bird, and the work is classified as a programme rather than a series. The narrative is delivered from the point of view of an unusually clever parrot who recounts his own cross‑country trek. He sets out in search of a fresh start, moving from place to place in hopes of finding a better life. Throughout his journey he finds himself relentlessly pursued by an evil scientist whose motives are clearly hostile. The story blends travel, pursuit and family‑friendly adventure, framing the bird’s odyssey as both entertaining and accessible to viewers of all ages. The emphasis stays on the parrot’s experiences and the obstacles he meets while trying to escape the scientist’s clutches, keeping the plot straightforward and the tone light. Overall, Paulie offers a family‑oriented adventure that follows the clever bird’s attempts to forge a new beginning while evading a malevolent researcher. Its focus on the parrot’s personal recounting adds a sense of urgency, yet the atmosphere remains wholesome and suitable for younger audiences.
