I can tell you I watched this once as a kid, and I was devastated. I couldn't handle the parents taking Paulie away from his companion, and the scene where they cut his wings while he fought for them to stop. I cried the whole movie, and vowed never to watch it again lol. It just saddened me how there are people out there that find animals to be disposable and replaceable. I still feel the same way. That bird went through hell at the hands of humans. But then again, even humans go through hell at the hands of humans. In this case, the bird just didn't have as much power.
So, I definitely agree this movie is somber. I wouldn't want to watch it again, either. To many sad things happen to get to a happy ending. But at least he was able to get that, if anything.
