"Buddy" is an endearing movie about a woman and the animals she rehabilitates- especially Buddy, a gorilla. It is based on a true story and is filmed realistically with the use of Jim Henson puppets and live animals. "Buddy" not only traces the life of the gorilla , but the challenges in the life of his rescuer, Gertrude Lintz , as she struggles to enhance the lives of animals and transform the life of one gorilla. This movie has some beautiful human/animal interactions. Some "scary" moments when Buddy the gorilla becomes violent - perhaps not for young children. As a wildlife rehablitator myself, I enjoy this movie for it's factual and entertainment value. It is one of the few movies I have chosen to add to my DVD collection.
THIS was most likely written about ME! lol, I am Dr. Doolittle, and I have taken care of thousands of animals. INCLUDING the hollar she does, I think they got that from me too! but I also used to have a yahoo group called Animal Actors for hire showcase. I think the author was in my group. All in all I LOVE this movie! its AWESOME!
