I'm gonna get a lot of hate for saying this and I remember loving this movie as a kid as anyone else but I absolutely hate it now as Trudy is such a crazy woman keeping a freaking gorilla in her house. At least in another animal movie "Born Free" Elsa the lioness actually was taught to be free and wasn't always at a house with other animals. As for the movie Buddy, the climax was lame since it was just Buddy trashing the house. If Trudy was smart, she would've taught Buddy to be a real gorilla and then as a fully grown silverback, free him. Not just take him to a zoo but take him to an African park where there's no poaching allowed. As for those chimpanzees, they take way too much screentime. Yes they're awesome and well trained but they sure are annoying after the third time they steal the spotlight from Buddy. And lastly the real Buddy was actually taken to a circus and died much earlier than the other gorilla Trudy raised in real life and his name is that of an offensive racial slur that can trace back to the slavery days and he was the one who was taken back to the zoo and lived longer. I really hope you respect my opinion of the movie and I respect yours if you like this movie too
Ugh. I looked up Buddy's real story. So sad. Poor thing was sold to Ringling Bros and was billed as a viscious beast (because of the acid burn scar on his face from a scumbag human when he was a baby, which I see they did not put on this Buddy.) He died at age 20, in poor health, when the lifespan of a captive lowland gorilla is 50 and wild is about 30-40.
