The Real Macaw

Its one of the movies i watched as a wee ladd. Both me and my little brother agree now even as adults that it really is a good movie. Take it at face value, but goodman as mac is honestly something nobody can say they regret seeing. A personal favorite moment of mine would be the bird getting drunk on rum cake, and the song 'treasure in you'? Absolutely spine tingling. A highly reccomended watch if you can ever find it anywhere. I will be in front of the old crt watching this old copy on vhs until i find it elsewhere

In a day and age when sex, violence and junk is sold to us as being entertainment, this movie shines like a beacon of wholesomeness. The story is fantasy, but the characterizations were charming. This is the kind of movie our children should be seeing. Adults might find it to be too simple of a story for their taste, it certainly does not have any "snob appeal". I liked it so much that I bought a copy for my grandchildren to view. They have watched it several times and always ask to see it again. It is not full of loud nonsensical noise as you would find in a lot of the cartoon and children's features that are being offered today. And it has enough appeal for parents to watch the movie along with the kids.

The film MaCaw was about a boy and his pop who couldn't pay his bills. The boy, called Sam, tries to help him and ends up in a lot of trouble. This movie is sad, happy and funny. Mac (the MaCaw) is the funniest of all. I really enjoyed watching this movie. I think it is for all ages. I know it's got scary parts but the little kids will adore Mac and the funny parts. It featured a lot of adventure parts. Probably everybody will enjoy it. Review by Stephanie.

The Real Macaw is an entertaining movie for children, featuring Mac, the 149 year old talking Macaw, who knows where the pirate treasure is buried. Mac is the real star of the piece, though there is plenty to do for the human actors, plenty of action, and a satisfying and unexpected conclusion.

An amusing, enjoyable Australian family movie about a 149 year old talking parrot with a Spanish accent. The parrot tries to help solve its owners financial problems by going on an adventure to find lost treasure on a once deserted tropical island now a resort spot. As a parrot keeper myself I loved the bird and thought the movie was fun. It would be ideal for kids but adults should be able to laugh along too. The parrot is the star of the show but the actors put in some solid performances as well.

I remember this movie when I was a kid, I mustve watched it over a dozen times at my grandmother's growing up. I'm going to have to rewatch this little gem. I just randomly remembered this movie today at work and now I'm going to have to go find it somewhere lol.

I really did not want to see this movie. But my kids wanted to watch so I sat with them. I'm glad I stayed. The affects and story line were interesting and my children liked it. Good enough for me. Use your kids to rent this one for yourself, or borrow some for the experience.
