Buddy was the first film produced by Jim Henson Pictures.

The story concerns an animal lover (Rene Russo) who takes in a baby gorilla (the titular Buddy) and attempts to raise him in a domestic environment.

The film was inspired by the true story of Getrude Davies Lintz, whose book Animals Are My Hobby was the basis for the screenplay.
