Buddy DVD Movie

Rene Russo stars as the eccentric socialite Gertrude "Trudy" Lintz, who adopts a baby gorilla to join her already-bustling animal menagerie of a family. This delightful family adventure highlights Gertrudes special gift of cherishing and caring for animals. Features amazing effects by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

I remember always watching this at the beginning of my Matilda VHS when I was a kid. Never have actually seen this movie, but I’d love to. 😍

It's not too bad. Spoiler, Buddy is NEVER a real gorilla. The baby is an animatronic & the older Buddies were humans in gorilla suits.

I remember this ad too! Every single time it came on, my aunt would shake her head and tell us what a creep Gertrude Lintz really was and the miserable life the really Buddy was
She was kind of a buzzkill lol

[@hamursh]

Fred Fucks? Is that what you're trying to convey that Brian Henson, Francis Ford Coppola, Pee Wee Herman, Rene Russo, Caroline Thompson, Hagrid, Alan Cumming and Fred Fucks have worked on this movie?!

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

This movie coincidentally happened to be released in 1997, the same year George of the Jungle came out, and that movie also used Jim Henson’s Creature Shop to make the gorillas (including Ape), the lion (during the fight sequence) and Tookie! 🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦁🦜
