Buddy

...this animal adventure sees Rene Russo plays eccentric animal lover Trudy Lintz who, along with her husband Dr. Bill (...) brings up a family of chimpanzees in order to save them from a zoo.

One of the chimps lets Buddy out of his cage and he wanders onto the midway, where there is an unintentionally hilarious sequence showing hundreds of people fleeing and screaming like extras in a Godzilla movie...

The movie's heart lies in the deep bond between Lintz and her favorite gorilla, Buddy...
