Buddy
“Welcome to a family that will make yours seem tame”
In the 1930s, eccentric animal lover Trudy adopts a sickly baby gorilla named Buddy and raises him alongside chimpanzees as if they were her human children. As Buddy grows into an 800-pound adult, his immense strength and unpredictable behavior lead to trouble, culminating in a chaotic incident at an exhibition.
Directed by Caroline Thompson, Stephanie Allain, Francis Ford Coppola
